Rusk Plant
Rusk is manufactured from wheat flour, salt and a raising agent by a traditionally slow process of baking, drying, gristing and blending to produce a consistently high quality product capable of absorbing twice its own weight of water without being soft and pasty.
Although processing is traditional, manufacturing techniques have changed with much of the plant being automated and PLC controlled.
Rusk is manufactured in a variety of grist sizes.
Grist sizes: (for guidance only)
Extrafine 75% passes through a 0.250mm sieve.
