Dinnissen Process Technology, of Sevenum in The Netherlands, specialises in the processing of powders, particles and granulates for companies in the feed, food, pharma and chemical sectors.
For tough cleaning jobs, pressure blasting delivers higher abrasive
velocity for greater impact intensity, compared to suction blasting, and
can increase your production rate by as much as 300 percent.
Aquafeed producers are losing about $4 to $10 per ton of product produced in terms of lost production, higher energy consumption and lowered product quality. These losses can be recovered by substituting a more effective moisture (MC) sensing and control technology for currently used traditional MC sensing and control.

The global demand for animal feeds has never been higher, fuelled by increasing heavy consumption of meat in China and wealthy countries in the ASEAN block.
Silo Construction and Engineering (SCE), manufacturer of modular square silos for storage of bulk goods, has earned special merits in the feed industry. The company produces and assembles silo buildings, and has successfully expanded to other sectors such as rice, coffee and cocoa.

Cultura Technologies’ MillMaster provides unrivalled and comprehensive process control links to systems supplied by companies such as Datastor, DSL, Promtek and others, enabling the operator to eliminate costly errors encountered with manual and basic interfaces whilst at the same time providing a detailed analysis of production performance.
CROSSWINDS continued to buffet world grain and feed markets during the later summer months, making for choppy conditions and a lack of consistent price direction
The aim of the millers is to provide a healthy and pure staple food to the consumers.
The focus lies on the purchasing and treatment of the raw materials, its processing, the training of the people and precautions in order to prevent a possible recontamination.
In many processing facilities, the grinding or milling of products is a key element in the process. However, transportation and conveying are often an afterthought to the design and implementation of the production process. Many times, conveying is added or altered due to increased production capacity, or changes in the production process. Whatever the reason, often the planning of conveyor selection and design doesn’t receive the consideration it deserves, thereby making it a ripe target for many of the problems that a processing facility with a focus on milling can face.
Similago is founded on operation speed practicality, safety, hygiene and precision, its details have been dissolved in a perfect manner and furthermore it is a status symbol.
Techmach Technology of South Africa aspires to be Africa’s leading general engineering company in the Agri sectors. It is building on its longstanding activities in cereal milling, animal feed milling and seed processing complemented by its diverse know-how in other related fields such as grain handling and plastic separation by optical colour sorting.
For 2016/17 (July to June), Post/New total Mexican wheat production is forecast to increase to 3.9 million metric tons (MMT). This increase of approximately 3.7 percent assumes favourable weather conditions and normal yields in the key wheat areas of Northwest Mexico (Baja California and Sonora) for the 2015/16 autumn/winter crop cycle.
The long-awaited Panama Canal expansion opened earlier this Summer with a ceremonial ship passing through the waterway. Based on extensive research including more than 100 studies on the economic feasibility, market demand, environmental impact and other technical engineering aspects, the Panama Canal expansion involved the construction of a ‘Third Set of Locks’ that will now allow larger ships to pass through the famous canal.
Family-owned Catalyst, formerly Pharm-Tech, custom formulates and manufactures feed and nutritional supplements for customers in the livestock, poultry, pet, wildlife and aquaculture industries. It operates five production plants, three in Idaho and two in Iowa. Its range of over 100 products includes digestive aids, mineral supplements and most recently Certified Organic blends and finished feeds.
Wholegrain Ingredient Producers EDME, based in England, has pioneered an innovative new category of ingredients. Michael Carr, Sales and Marketing Director of natural ingredient producer at EDME says, “We’ve identified a growing interest in sprouted foods and have developed a brand new product category to help bakers and food manufacturers meet that interest and demand.” Sprouted grains meet the demand for new wholegrain ingredients that are nutritious, soft and tender, as well as being more palatable and digestible.
Last month, we outlined the new regulations that grain processors needed to be aware of. This included the new NFPA 652 and OSHA initiatives. This month we delve into the array of options available to control combustible dust. Grain processors need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each before choosing the smartest approach.
Operating in 140 countries and boasting 90 service stations worldwide, Bühler has been at the vanguard of industrial process technologies and solutions for over 150 years. Contributing significantly to feeding the world’s ever-growing population, Bühler manufactures equipment for processing of maize, wheat, chocolate, rice, pasta and breakfast cereals globally. In fact, 65 percent of wheat milled around the globe is processed on Bühler grain mills and around 30 percent of global rice production is processed using Bühler equipment.
A consolidation of highly respected British brands E R & F Turner, Christy & Norris and Miracle Mills, Christy Turner Ltd is renowned for quality British engineering and innovation in the milling industry.

On the 26 October this year, Milling and Grain magazine attended OCRIM’s 6th technical conference “Wheat, Flour and…” at its headquarters located in Cremona, home to violin extraordinaire Antonio Stradivari and arguably one of Northern Italy’s most picturesque historical cities. The annual event was aimed at clients, local residents, and friends in the worlds of industry, academia and politics.
CROP farmers anxiously watching prices fall to ever less remunerative levels have had further unwelcome news over the past couple of months from yet higher cereal and oilseed crop estimates across the Northern Hemisphere.
Joordens Zaden in Kessel, The Netherlands is an international specialist in the development and production of seed for green manure crops, forage crops and forage grasses. The seeds comply with the high quality requirements of ISTA and are strictly checked every week by external quality controllers from the Dutch General Inspection Service (NAK).
A leading miller since the company was founded in 1919, over the years Grand Moulins in Paris has been able to diversify its activities and innovate to maximize customer satisfaction.
With over a century of experience in the design, quality and installation of grain storage systems, Bentall Rowlands Storage Systems Limited is a leading UK manufacturer in complete storage and processing equipment for the agricultural and industrial markets.
Many in the milling and grain sector may be unaware that there is a significant new revenue stream available to progressive and forward-thinking mills. It focuses on the use of energy, and how by turning the power down for a relatively short period each year in line with National Grid’s and EirGrid’s requirements, companies can enjoy considerable and long-term financial rewards.
Calysta, the company developing and introducing a new protein source based on single-cell organisms - a bacterium called methylococcus – and destined for inclusion in fishfeeds, has built a ‘market introduction facility’ in Teesside, England, with production beginning in this last quarter of 2016.
Changes in flour quality are and will continue to be a problem for the bakery industry. Large amounts of grain are processed by the milling industry and many resources used to secure the flour produced have a consistent quality.
The Bakery Innovation Center (BIC) at the Bühler headquarters is now five years old. As a center for vocational training and further education for bakers and millers, it is very popular.
As “enlightened” as such statement by what Stanford University calls “the most influential English speaking philosopher of the 19th century” is, one could easily make an argument that when it comes to commodity market analysis the statement seems to be as useful as a bicycle to a fish.
