FBPGRA3029 — Monitor a break roll

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• applying safe work practices
• applying food safety procedures to work practices
• ensuring break releases have been carried out following the head miller’s instructions
• reporting inconsistencies or variations.

Knowledge evidence

• purpose and basic principles of breaking grain, including how and why the endosperm separation takes place
• basic operating principles of equipment, including: main equipment components, including any level control system, feed roll, feed gate, main rolls, roll adjustment, scrapers; status and purpose of guards; the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation; high drive motor amperage; services required, and action to take if services are not available
• good manufacturing practices (GMP) relevant to work task
• the flow of the break roll system and the basic effect of outputs on downstream processes
• basic equipment faults and related causes, including: signs and symptoms of faulty equipment; early warning signs of potential problems; symptoms of chokes and blockages, and action required to clear
• methods used to monitor the break rolls, including: visually inspecting the inlet product for variation in granulation across the roller length, checking for presence of any unexpected stock or flour; visually inspecting the outlet product for semolina production and bran clean-up without excessive damage to bran; temperature check of roll stocks on back of hands; break release procedure, correct sampling technique, weighing, sifting and calculating
• basic contamination/cross-contamination and food safety risks associated with the break rolls, and related control measures
• health and safety hazards and controls, including the limitations of protective clothing and equipment relevant to the work process
• requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the break roll and workplace production requirements, including: production stop; routine mill shutdown; unexpected production stop; emergency shutdowns; procedures to follow in the event of a power outage
• isolation, lock-out and tag-out procedures and responsibilities
• procedures for reporting production and performance information
• basic operating principles of process control, where relevant, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment
• environmental issues and controls, including waste and rework collection
• routine maintenance procedures for operating a break roll
• cleaning and sanitisation procedures for workspace and equipment
• procedures to track traceability of product
• procedures to ensure biosecurity requirements are met.

Foundation skills

• Reading: Interpret directions for the safe operation of equipment
• Writing: Record product and processing information using digital and/or paper-based formats
• Numeracy: Measure product using weight (kg, T) and volume (L, hL), to two decimal points Use percentages (%) as they apply to mixes of grain Monitor supply and flow of materials to and from the break roll process Accurately interpret readings on scales and gauges
