| Scope & content | Mühle In the milling industry, being able to determine the quality of raw materials is fundamental. Being able to test them is an essential task. Wiesneth Mühle GmbH in Franconian Pommersfelden, Germany, has taken its quality management to the next level, at the same time introducing a time-efficient system. In what is one of Bavaria’s largest flourmills, constant thorough inspections in the in-house laboratory are of the utmost importance for maintaining the company’s quality demands. Therefore, before vehicles arriving in the yard in Pommersfelden-Sambach from the agricultural operations in the region are permitted to continue to the incoming goods area, quality inspections must first take place. A sample of the grain delivered is taken directly from the vehicle and transferred to the laboratory facilities via a pipe system. Here the grain received is quickly ground and its gluten quality is examined. The GlutoPeak, a pioneering quick method developed by Brabender, the Duisburg-based specialists for laboratory measurement equipment, is used for the purpose. Within a maximum of ten minutes, including preparation and cleaning, the equipment provides rapid, reliable information on the respective grain’s gluten properties and structure – an enormous saving when it comes to a complete quality analysis of incoming goods. Every day, Wiesneth Mühle mills around 250 tonnes of wheat and rye. In summer, the vehicles belonging to the supplying farmers stretch in a queue way beyond the mill’s gates. A wide variety of other types of grain can also be recorded at two other sites in Nuremberg and Würzburg… Read about: Family tradition with high quality demands Brabender’s GlutoPeak ensures consistency during quality recording Rapid, reproducible quality controls Gluten quality at a glance: The GlutoPeak process The GlutoPeak in use at Wiesneth Mühle |
