Operate a reduction process
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to processes, such as flour milling, where endosperm particle size is reduced. It also applies to other reduction processes, such as production of crumb for coatings, in the snack food sector. It typically targets the production worker responsible for applying basic operating principles to the operation and monitoring of a reduction process and associated equipment.
When operators are required to perform batch or product changeover procedures as part of this work process, the procedures should be used to customise the application of this unit. Where more detailed changeovers are carried out, FDFOP2011A Conduct routine maintenance, should be selected.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to set up, operate, adjust and shut down a reduction process to grind and sift particles to gradually reduce particle size to meet specifications.
