Apparatus and method for producing gluten and starch from a dispersion of wheat, barley or rye endosperm fractions in water. The raw grain is initially milled to produce endosperm fractions suitable for carrying out the subsequent steps of the process. The steps taken in the milling process include breaking the raw grain between a series of fluted rollers, sorting the bran from various grades of semolinas, sizing coarse semolinas by the cutting action of fluted, opposed rollers, pressing and impacting coarse and fine semolinas by a series of smooth, opposed rollers and dissipaters, and finally reducing the tailing from the pressing and impacting steps in a series of smooth or fluted rollers, and dissipaters.
