Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Flour Machine

These blacksmiths basically stayed here during this time, and the number of tractors did not increase, but when Yang Yuanzhao did a lot of practical work, these people came into play, and most of the industrial machines were iron, and these strong people were needed.

Integrated flour machine, as long as the problem of power is solved, the rest, it is very simple, are some transmission and sawtooth and the like, with the experience of assembling tractors, these people two days, all the installation is over.

The flour mill seems to have a little meaning, about a quarter of the entire yard, Yang Yuanzhao carefully checked the machine, there is no problem, especially the place where the machine is connected, it is very safe, and some lubricating oil, Yang Yuanzhao said: "Start the steam engine!" ”

A blacksmith hurriedly ran out, lit the steam engine, the roar came, the teleportation shaft began to rotate regularly, the speed slowly increased, it took about half an hour to stabilize dìng, seeing that the steam engine was stable, Yang Yuanzhao stepped forward and connected the teleportation shaft with graphite.

The powerful power brought by the steam engine passed through the conveyor shaft, and then passed on to the stone mills, and a dozen or so stone mills began to rotate slowly.

Walking on the top of each stone mill, looking at the connection between the stone mill and the stone mill, fine and dense, there is no problem at all, Yang Yuanzhao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Liu Xing, go to the drying field and get a few sacks of new wheat."

Liu Xing and three or four blacksmiths immediately took the order, and three or four strong men brought 10 sacks of wheat grains in only ten minutes, and Yang Yuanzhao simply checked it, and the wheat grains had been sunburned and could be used to make zuò flour.

The housekeeper of the Wu family also walked in, the drying field that Liu Xing went to just now belonged to the Wu family, and when he heard Liu Xing say the purpose of these wheat, he followed over, looking at the huge machine made of steel, his expression was slightly stunned!

"Here's a few people to help!" Yang Yuanzhao didn't pay attention to the housekeeper, but instead ordered, and before anyone could come up, someone outside the door shouted: "Yuanzhao, I heard that the flour machine is done?" ”

The two walked in together, it turned out to be Yang Yue and Liu Shu, they happened to be near the drying field, I heard that there was wheat here, Yang Yue suddenly felt that it was Yang Yuanzhao who made the flour machine, so he brought yì over, and it happened that Liu Shu was also very interested in the flour machine, so he came together.

After Yang Yue came, he looked around the machine and asked with some doubts: "Yuan Zhao, is it possible that this of yours is driven by manpower, and without the machine qì drive, the flour produced is similar to that made by ordinary stone mills?" ”

"Cousin Ji, I'm a mechanical, artificially powered flour machine, say it, isn't it smashing my signboard, the power is not put together with the flour, the flour is flammable, and the power is put on the other side!" Yang Yuanzhao said that he was the only one who combined the two, but last night, he didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly thought that the flour mill in the future was absolutely strictly forbidden to fireworks, and the flour sprinkled in the air could easily reach the explosion point. In addition to this, there is also a point of body separation, the steam engine of this era, generally works around the clock, in this way, can ensure the stability of the power, to avoid the uneven speed caused by fire and gas problems, but in Yang Yuanzhao's view, the steam engine such a mechanical part, continuous operation is easy to fatigue and problems, the steam engine is different from the internal combustion engine of later generations, once there is a deflating event, the surrounding people are in great danger, must be regularly stopped, maintenance, in this case, The alternating operation of the two steam engines, as well as the staggered and connected power shafts, became the solution to the problem, and he borrowed an ingenious design that could flexibly connect and separate the power.

Hearing that it was steam power, Yang Yue didn't say anything more, because it was obvious that no one was urging it, and on a transmission shaft connected to the outside world, the machine was running.

Several blacksmiths came up and, under the guidance of Yang Yuanzhao, poured all the 10 sacks of wheat into the feed port.

The wheat enters the conveyor belt along the feed inlet, and then evenly distributed to the 10 stone mills, which work together and move slowly to quickly turn the wheat into flour.

The fine flour came down sparsely, but Yang Yuanzhao pulled the transmission shaft, and all the stone mills stopped.

Just the operation, although stable, the speed is also OK, but there are still some small problems, these small problems, will cause some stone grinding force is uneven, grinding out of the flour particles are larger, this is a small problem, easy to solve, Yang Yuanzhao quickly took out the tool, the transmission and some screws, adjusted, not a while, the adjustment is over, and then run up,

Except for the sound of grinding flour, in the whole room, there is rarely any roar, next to the stone mill, the delicate flour is slowly flowing onto the conveyor belt, and then loaded into the prepared bag.

Flour is delicate, white, and ordinary flour, there is a huge difference, the reason why it is so white, not because of the good quality of wheat, the most important thing is that when Shanghai collects chemical supplies, the whitening agent is also among them, although the whitening agent is a chemical, often eaten is not good for health, but in this era, the product basically uses this whitening agent, the concept of healthy flour, has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, plus, among all the whitening agents, this one is more natural, less harmful ingredients, but the price is slightly more expensive.

The first bag of flour was freshly baked, which was Yang Yuanzhao referring to the packaging of Shanghai Ocean flour, removing the above pattern, and using automatic filling to complete the bagging and packaging, without any manpower, the automation was completed.

When the first bag of flour was freshly baked, not only all the blacksmiths were stunned, even the housekeeper of the Wu family, as well as Liu Shu and Yang Yue were speechless, especially Liu Shu, knowing that Yang Yuanzhao could solve the problem of flour and make flour machine, but he didn't expect that it would be so strong, 10 bags of wheat, all ground into flour, a total of 20 bags, this is only how long, it should not take more than half an hour.

Yang Yue and the others, I don't know what to say, but the blacksmiths are concerned about the white flour itself, white flour, or the most delicate, the most high-quality foreign flour, just a pack, it is worth a lot of money, several workers looked at this flour directly, such a rare thing, it was the machine they assembled in front of them, it took less than 30 minutes to complete, this is too simple.

Steward Wu stepped forward, looked at the white flour that had not yet been packaged, pinched a little from the conveyor belt, and felt the flour with his fingers, which was unusually smooth, as the butler of the Wu family, he knew very well that this could definitely be called a first-class product, the most important thing is that it was white and flawless, even if it was foreign flour, it would be slightly yellow, but here, it was pure white.

The reason why there is such an excellent effect, there is no other reason, Yang Yuanzhao designed the machine, in the addition and mixing of materials, very good, basically, the mixing of flour and whitening agent, very good.

Steward Wu immediately ordered, a few tenants went out, and after a while, almost dozens of people came over, bringing hundreds of bags of wheat grains, a whole day, the flour machine qì, a total of 243 bags of flour, this is still in the afternoon, Yang Yuanzhao refused to continue grinding the results of the noodles, in short, the effect is a mess.

Baotou was originally small, plus Yang Yuanzhao did not keep it secret, and soon, everyone knew that the machine for making foreign noodles was completed in Yang Yuanzhao's hands, and almost everyone who had something to do with Yang Yuanzhao came, Liu Shu, Wei Ming, Yang Yue, of course, the two landlords, they have been waiting to cooperate with Yang Yuanzhao to open a flour mill.

Yang Yue can still see something, but the others are confused, just see more than a dozen huge stone mills, that is, all kinds of steel big guys, with the storage of tractors, everyone does not doubt Yang Yuanzhao's attainments in machinery, especially the two landlords, the white noodles that the housekeeper took back yesterday have been made in the kitchen, and there is no difference from foreign flour, it is obvious that this Yang Yuanzhao can really do it, as long as this machine is really as the housekeeper said, this flour mill is really promising.
