The invention provides a highland barley processing technology which comprises a highland barley milling section. The technology is characterized by further comprising color sorting carried out on milled highland barley. A fine sorting function is added in the moisten highland barley cleaning process, and therefore foreign grains, incomplete grains, round beans and buckwheat can be separated out; in the highland barley milling section, four to seven emery rolls and one to two iron rolls are combined to work, the whole rice percentage can reach 80% and is improved by more than 10%, processing precision is ensured, the broken rice rate is reduced, and fine processing is achieved; before fine highland barley is packaged, color sorting for fine highland barely is increased, it is ensured that the product contains no impurity or incomplete grains such as immature grains, grains damaged by insects, spotted grains, mildew grains and brown rice grains, and food safety and dietetic hygiene are ensured; the finished product is automatically stacked after being packaged, the number of workers of enterprises is greatly reduced, the labor intensity is reduced, and mechanical work is achieved. All the working procedures can be completed through machines, and fine, large-scale and automatic production of highland barley can be achieved.
