Atemperado: La temperatura del grano transferido al silo de atemperado oscila entre 50 y 60 grados centígrados. Dentro de cada semilla existe un gradiente de humedad, teniendo el centro el contenido de humedad más alto. El propósito del proceso de atemperado es permitir que la humedad dentro de cada grano se redistribuya, eliminando el gradiente de humedad mencionado. El proceso de atemperado también alivia algunos de los esfuerzos producidos por el rápido secamiento en las capas exteriores de los granos.

Lithography is based on the principle that grease and water do not mix. When ink rollers come in contact with the printing plate, its surface must be kept moist enough to prevent the ink from adhering to the part of the plate that has no image. The water solution is carried from the water pan to the plate by a roller partially immersed in the pan and then to damping rollers, which moisten the plate. 2, record 22, English, - dampening
