Wire Machine and Dust Extractor

Scope and Content

At Upminster the Wire Machine is used only for cleaning (polishing) the grain before milling. Mounted above the machine is a vacuum dust extracting system that, although more than a century old in design, works on the same principle as modern bagless domestic vacuum cleaners.
