Abstract

Rice is a commodity that has a strategic role in food security to meet the basic needs of the community. In Indonesia, rice is not only consumed as a staple food, but we often get rice processed into other food ingredients such as cakes. However, before becoming a cake, the rice is first processed into flour, which is usually called rice flour. Rice flour is flour that is widely used in Indonesia because it is low in protein and does not contain gluten. This study aims to determine the working capacity of the disc mill-type flour mill FFC-23. The research method used is to perform flouring by operating a disc mill-type FFC-23 flour machine and calculating the percentage of rice flour soaking. The results of this study indicate that the working capacity of the machine, where the working capacity of the 60 mesh sieve is higher than that of the 100 mesh sieve. This shows that the mesh size with the smallest value can optimize the performance of the FFC-23 disc mill-type flouring machine.
