CD1 Mill Standard Laboratory Mill
Consistent Results From Each Lab for Comparison
The CHOPIN Technologies CD1 Mill is an optimal tool for producing consistent and reproducible flour samples for analytical testing on hard or soft wheat. It is the only mill compliant with the NF EN ISO 27971 standard for Alveograph testing, ensuring reliability in tests like Alveograph, Farinograph, Extensograph, and Mixolab. Its fixed, optimized milling diagram ensures uniform results across labs, with outcomes reflecting the wheat quality, not the milling tool.
Features

Applications
A Simple Tool With Many Purposes
Therepresentative flour produced from either hard or soft wheat by the CD1 Mill isused by wheat breeders, millers, breeders for a variety of purposes.
Traders
The use ofthe CD1 Mill in wheat trade is invaluable, as it ensures the productionof consistent and reproducible flour samples that strictly adhere to the NFEN ISO 27971 standard for Alveograph testing. This capability offers wheattraders significant advantages. It facilitates reliable transactions byproviding precise and measurable quality parameters, ensuring transparency andfairness in pricing. The mill’s standardized milling process guarantees uniformresults across laboratories, an essential factor in building trust andmaintaining consistency in international trade. Moreover, by adhering to theISO standard, the CD1 Mill reduces disputes over wheat quality, streamlining negotiationsand fostering smoother commercial exchanges.
Millers
For Millers, the CD1 assists with wheat selection and in developing wheat blends.
Breeders
Wheat Breeders rely on the CD1 Mill to anticipate the baking value of their future varieties. They can achieve results quickly from very small sample sizes of grain.
Control Labs
The quality of the results produced from the CD1 allow researchers to carry out repeatable and reproducible milling studies with results representative of the quality found in the industry. Specifically, the CD1 mimics industrial practices because of the use of both grooved and smooth cylinders, and centrifugal sifting.
Lineup
How It Works
Gradual Milling With a Dedicated Diagram
Functioning as a scaled-down simulation of an industrial mill, the CD1 Mill undergoes a series of grain size steps. First, the grain passes between cylinders, followed by sieving to sort particles , and finishing with the option to redirect particles to other cylinder devices. The milling diagram combines grooved rolls (breaking part) and smooth rolls (reduction part), resembling industrial mills and thereby enhancing the representativeness of the produced flours. Users can obtain two distinct flours (breaking and reducing), typically combined and homogenized before undergoing testing.
System Components
The CD1 is a laboratory mill designed to mimic industrial practices with both grooved and smooth cylinders, and centrifugal sifting.
