56 COVER STORY MILLER / march 2021 • Saving electricity at the roller mill. • Lower roll temperature and product temperature. AlPesa Milling System Bühler recently introduced AlPesa, a compact and complete milling system for whole wheat atta flour and flour from sorghum. The system has a throughput of up to 18 tons per day, offers a high level of food safety, and pro- duces a wide range of flour qualities. The AlPesa combines different modules — for feeding, grinding, sifting, bag- ging, pneumatic conveying, and automation. The switch cabinet of the AlPesa contains the power electronics and an integrated touchscreen to operate the system. The Al- Pesa can be operated and monitored from various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. It is a compact version of Bühler’s PesaMill milling sys- tem, which has been operating worldwide since 2017. The AlPesa replaces traditional chakki stone mills, producing authentic whole wheat atta flour for flatbreads commonly consumed in Asian sub-continent. Dante Wheat Scrubbing Technology Omas’ new Dante wheat scrubbing technology de- creases microbial count, toxin levels, chemical residue and tempering time. The system utilizes unique flow placement along with upgrades to traditional scouring / de-branning technologies to increase flour safety, reduce wheat ash, and improve overall performance of the mill while main- taining or improving flour performance. Technical features include: • Internal rotor with eight abrasive elements • Internal body with perforated plate with adjustable reinforces. • Inspection doors • Outlet with electrical control by ammeter • Cooling fan on the machine • Body of welded steel and painted with epoxy for food equipment. • Electric motor with ammeter • Control panel to adjust the parameters of abrasion. • Omas said a decade’s experience has led to the de- velopment of “Dante,” with eight machining wheels and an electro-mechanical actuator managed by PLC that al- lows you to decide how long the product remains in the machine. Summit Sieve Great Western’s new Summit Sieve frame and tray com- bine strength and simplicity with a larger net screen area per stack than previous sieves. The new design features a minimal number of fasteners, each of which has strategi- cally been positioned to eliminate risks of contamination. Removal of gaskets results in interlocking trays and sieves, while retaining stability and preventing leaks. Summit Sieves feature food grade plastic and stainless-steel pan; increased net sieve area; a stronger design with fewer parts; aluminum trays that interlock with sieve below and above to prevent outward bowing; columns that create strength throughout the stack and prevent downward de- flections; increased sanitation, and more. SightTrap Insects Limited has introduced SightTrap, a pheromone monitoring device that puts cameras on insect traps and provides essential information and data on your computer or smart phone. The device provides detailed reporting in which you can monitor traps, view pre-identified insects, and see trending data. The device automatically records a daily image of the pheromone trap. The ForesightIPM app shows and counts the insects in your trap. This pest management method involves less time and fewer steps, according to Insects Limited. Each kit includes: • A SightTrap camera • Two lithium batteries • A battery charger • A glueboard and pheromone lure • SightTrap hangers • All access to ForesightIPM with unlimited users. Differential Dosing Scale As a mass flow controller, the Grano differential dosing scale manufactured by Swisca precisely doses a pre-selected quantity of product and registers the total weight in grams. The differential dosing scale precisely serves as a mass flow meter for the accurate measur- ing of a given product flow. For a constant and exact measure of grain mixtures, the differential dosing scale is used below silos, raw production bins and tempering bins. For grain processing in a continuously operating setting, accurate measurement and exact regulation are made possible by innovative drive and measurement technology. The differential dosing scale GRANO is suit- able for weight-oriented measurement of quantity, per- formance-oriented process control and recipe-oriented mixtures. The flow quantity of a free-flowing product is precisely determined, the capacity is precisely regulated, and the total weight is accurately recorded. An extraor- dinarily robust control system with touchscreen along the precise measuring cells used in Swisca dosing scales guar- antee the highest quality and reliability. Roll Measuring Device Yenar’s latest innovation at its research and develop- ment center is the rollCare Profile Measurement Device, which utilizes laser technology to check fluted roll profiles while fluting and also on the roller mills. After measure- ment, millers can compare stats by automatically over- lapping the measured profile and the theoretical one to see if there are deviations. The device measures the sharp angle, dull angle, land, depth, bottom radius and grinding surface area. With rollCare, you can easily and quickly de- termine the optimal time to change the rolls. The device features a wireless connection, user-friendly interface and there is no limit for the diameter range. Milling industry giants’ from all over the world like ADM, GWF, Al Ghurair, OLAM, BUA, Dangote and many more, are welcoming such innovations with open arms.
