    Scope & contentBy Clifford Spencer, Goodwill Ambassador, NEPAD and Chairman, Milling4Life

    Many of the latest developments in grain milling are old ideas that have been revisited in recent times because of advances in manufacturing technology. A prime example is the application of double grinding without intermediate sieving. There are three main categories where advances have been made, machine capacities, machine construction, and new machine technologies.

    The current stimulus for development in flour milling technology is the flour miller’s requirement to produce the highest quality products at minimum cost. This has been achieved in the past through investment in new technologies, which are supplied by a small number of equipment manufacturers.

    Most recent development work has centered on the optimisation of machine design and capacity and the application of these machines to existing processing strategies. One result has been the development of more compact flourmills in recent years, but all these are employing conventional processing strategies...Read more.
