52 MILLER / DECEMBER 2018 “Permanent monitoring of processes and products is of central importance for the economic production of constant flour. Automation and digitalization will thus play an important role in milling. Also in Bühler’s future mill concept Mill E3. The Mill E3 will be built in less time and with less space at the same or lower overall costs. And thanks to the energy-saving technology, significantly less energy is consumed per tonne of processed wheat.” The basic principle of grinding has been the same for thousands of years: Grain is ground to powder between two hard parts. In recent decades, our researchers have repeatedly tested alternatives. However, neither the use of lasers nor sound waves have proven to be anywhere near equiva- lent to the grinding methods used today.
