Milling. For efficient extraction with water, malt must be milled. Early milling processes used stones driven manually or by water or animal power, but modern brewing uses mechanically driven roller mills. The design of the mill and the gap between the rolls are important in obtaining the correct reduction in size of the malt. The object is to retain the husk relatively intact while breaking up the brittle, modified starch into particles. 2, record 1, English, - malt%20milling

Le brassage comprend le concassage du malt, l'empâtage en cuve-matière, la filtration, la cuisson et le houblonnage. Le malt est concassé dans des broyeurs à cylindres, de façon à réduire l'amande en farine et gruaux, sans écraser les enveloppes cellulosiques. 2, record 1, French, - concassage%20du%20malt
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Le concassage du malt réduit le grain en farine qui va se dissoudre dans l'eau du brassage. Le grain conserve son enveloppe intacte; celle-ci sera utile comme assise filtrante lors de la filtration du moût. Les grains de malt, bien secs, calibrés et pesés, passent entre les cylindres d'un concasseur, où ils sont simplement écrasés, juste avant leur utilisation au brassage. Certains concasseurs actuels pratiquent la mouture humide, pour éviter de déchirer l'enveloppe du malt. 3, record 1, French, - concassage%20du%20malt

Grain crusher. This machine consists of 2 rollers 600mm in diameter and 200mm wide, belt driven from the motor. The gap between them is adjustable. Grain from the hopper is fed between the crushing rolls by a belt driven fluted roll. The feed rate is adjustable. The hopper is 1150mm x 1150mm x 550mm deep and sits on top of the machine. 2, record 2, English, - grain%20crusher

A rollermill is really four(two pair) rollermills in one frame. The top roll of a pair is carried in fixed bearings but the bottom roll is supported by pivot arms which may be adjusted to vary the gap between the rolls. Adjusting the gap gives different degrees of grinding. Two smaller diameter rolls, called feed rolls, are set above the grinding rolls. The purpose of the feed rolls is to regulate the stream of material passing to the nip of the grinding rolls. A balanced feed gate ensures even distribution of stock along the full width of the rolls. 1, record 3, English, - feed%20rolls

Two current designs of air-cushioned headbox are illustrated in Figures 16-8 and 16-9. These boxes depend on the action of the rotating, perforated rolls to provide turbulence and level out velocity gradients. Shower sprays are arranged to cover the pond and sides of the box. Some older designs... incorporate a reception chamber(also called "swirl chamber" or "explosion chamber") into which the distribution system feeds, followed by an adjustable gap or throat. The gap is important; if too large, the high velocity streams from the inlet pipes will persist; if too small, troublesome vortices(eddy currents) can be created. 1, record 6, English, - swirl%20chamber

Les dessins de deux modèles de caisses d'arrivée modernes à coussin d'air sont représentés aux figures 16-8 et 16-9. Ces caisses d'arrivée contiennent des rouleaux perforés rotatifs pour créer une turbulence et niveler les gradients de vitesse. Des rinceurs sont installés pour couvrir les côtés et le fond de la caisse d'arrivée. Des modèles plus anciens contiennent une chambre réceptrice (appelée aussi «chambre de tourbillonnement» ou «chambre d'explosion») dans laquelle aboutit le circuit de tête, suivie par une fente ou un étranglement réglable, comme celui de la figure 16-10. Le réglage de la fente est important : si elle est trop large, les courants à grande vitesse de tuyaux de distribution persisteront; si elle est trop étroite, des vortex (courants tourbillonnaires) qui ont un effet perturbateur peuvent apparaître. 1, record 6, French, - chambre%20de%20tourbillonnement
