Sedimat: Special mill for the Zeleny sedimentation test

What is this mill for?
The Sedimat laboratory mill was created to aid in laboratory grain sample preparation of Zeleny sedimentation tests.

Why is this important?
The Zeleny sedimentation test describes the amount and quality of the gluten fraction of a flour and allows reliable predictions as to the baking quality of the flour or grain

How does this mill work?
The grain is milled in a single step by three pairs of rolls and the resulting flour is dressed. With this procedure, the wedge protein is extracted.
In the subsequent Zeleny sedimentation test, this protein swells in a lactic acid stock and isopropyl alcohol solution before the supernatant liquid is removed. For this purpose, the prepared flour is filled into two shaking cylinders, mixed with the solutions prescribed in the Zeleny method and shaken in the prescribed rhythm.
The sedimentation volume determined after a defined time interval, provides valuable data as to the expected dough properties, gas-retaining capacity, proving tolerance, and the volume of the baking products.
