Oats are finely ground to produce raw oat flour in the same way as wheat grains are processed into flour. First, the kernels are cleaned by a precleaner with an oscillating screen. The hull is then crushed, leaving most of the bran and germ. The resulting grain is ground into fine oat flour by a roller mill, burr mill, or hammer mill. 2, record 1, English, - oat%20flour

Micro-hydropower development in Nepal has a long history in Nepal. In 1988 approximately 615 micro-hydro turbines were in operation and were being used to grind grain, hull rice, and expel oil from oilseeds, as well as generating electricity in the hills of Nepal. More than 90% of these installations were used exclusively for agro-processing works. 1, record 3, English, - micro%2Dhydropower%20development
