[A] device used to split and divert the basic flour streams into the desired commercial grades.

CONT

The percentages of flours which make up commercial grades are called flour divides. A divide board or box containing a system of valves is used to make the various combinations required. The basic streams, A, B, C and D flow into the top of the board, and are split into proportions required for blending into the commercial grades.

DEF

Dispositif servant à diviser et à détourner les différents courants de farine pour en obtenir les grades commerciaux désirés.

CONT

Les pourcentages de farines qui constituent les farines commerciales s'appellent fractions. Une chambre de fractionnement contenant un système de tiroirs sert à faire les divers mélanges requis. Les farines de base A, B, C et D s'écoulent par le haut de la chambre pour être fractionnées dans les proportions voulues pour les mélanges commerciaux. Le meunier s'assure de l'uniformité de ces proportions à l'aide de bascules situées en aval des passages. Comme chacune des farines commerciales a une valeur différente, il importe, aux fins de rentabilité maximale, de maintenir l'uniformité des fractions.

OBS
