How does gluten content affect the quality of wheat flour?

The gluten content determines the protein level of the flour. Higher gluten content results in higher protein content, which is important for the quality of bread, pasta, and other products.

What are the main stages in the production process of wheat flour at PT Manunggal Perkasa?

The main stages in the production process include intake, cleaning, milling, fortification, and packaging.

What happens during the 'intake' stage of wheat flour production?

During the intake stage, wheat grains are received and stored in silos. They are moved using pneumatic conveyors and elevators.

Why is cleaning an important step in the wheat flour production process?

Cleaning is essential to remove impurities and foreign particles from the wheat grains, ensuring that only pure grains proceed to the milling stage.

What is the purpose of fortification in the wheat flour production process?

Fortification involves adding nutrients to the flour to enhance its nutritional value, ensuring that it meets health standards.

What products does PT Manunggal Perkasa produce from wheat flour?

PT Manunggal Perkasa produces high-protein flour (Aster and Melati), medium-protein flour (Yoga and Dahlian), and low-protein flour (Rafflesia). These products are available in various packaging sizes.

How is the packaging process of wheat flour handled at PT Manunggal Perkasa?

After milling and fortification, the wheat flour is packaged into bags of different sizes (25 kg, 1 kg, and 50 kg). The bags are labeled and sealed before being distributed.
