In 1998 Strawson’s Farms, Louth, installed a range of 30 tonnes per hour (tph) and 60 tph grain handling equipment from Perry of Oakley Ltd and a 20tph drier. More recently Mr Strawson has found this system had not been able to keep up with the amount of grain he is now producing on the farm, and so made the decision to upgrade his drier and handling equipment. Each year Mr Strawson may need to dry up to 6000 tonnes which will be a combination of wheat, barley, oilseed rape and beans.

BRABENDER GLUTOPEAK
The GlutoPeak®
process by
Brabender®
offers a quick, but
precise technical solution to describe
the functionality of flours, bruised grains,
baking mixes or vital gluten measuring
the aggregation behaviour of the gluten
component in a sample. The device first
separates the gluten, and then aggregates
it into a characteristic network before
destroying it with the rotation of its
mechanical measuring paddle. Time and
torque curve of the physics of the gluten
is recorded and displayed as a graph. The
time to reach the maximum point on
the curve, the peak, its height, and the
following decline of the curve provide
essential information on gluten quality.
