83 TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM MILLER / JUNE 2022 pletely natural, 100% safe and FDI-approved GP Ozone disinfec- tion system, which is a first in the world and does not bleach the flour, does not create nitrous oxide. In addition, we started to provide milling consultancy services with Elit Mill Inc., which was established within the Elit family. We added a new one to our works in this field in the past weeks, and we made our mark in the milling sector with the NCD New Gen- eration Milling System, which we developed with the slogan "This Flour is Another Flour". As Elit Food, we have a team that is capable of serving a flour factory at every point in the entire chain from wheat to laboratory, from mill to disinfection and final product, as can be understood from our slogan "An Elite Touch From Virgo To Bread". Could you provide some information on the NCD New Gen- eration Milling System? Turkey has very important know-how in the milling industry and ranks 1st in the world in flour export. We have a very good knowledge of both manufacturing of milling machines, establishing turnkey plant and diagrams, product development and R&D studies, production and sales of flour and bread additives. Turkey has become a coun- try that exports sectoral information and services as well as flour ex- ports. As Elit Food, we are proud to have a share in this accumulation and to contribute to the milling industry of our country. What is NCD Next Generation Grinding System? The flour milling process all over the world consists of 5 stages. 1.Cleaning 2.Tempering 3.Grinding 4.Sieving 5.Packaging There is a phrase used in milling: Grinding starts with temper- ing and ends with tempering. With this phrase, it is very well em- phasized on how important tempering is in the process. Based on this philosophy, we thought about what we could improve in this process and started our R&D studies from this point. Our project consists of 3 phases: Phase 1: The tempering process of flour mills has two stages. We do the first tempering with ozonated water. We both eliminate the negative effects of chlorine and purify our water from the mi- crobial load with ozone. Phase 2: We perform the second tempering with a solution whose R&D has done ourselves. NCD MAX, our product consist- ing of enzymes and food additives, is produced in accordance with the food codex. NCD MAX is a mixture that has Halal and Kosher certificates and does not contain chemicals harmful to hu- man health. Our mixture ensures the wheat to swell better, the wa- ter we give is distributed evenly in every part of the wheat kernel, and it can be tempered without losing moisture. In addition, since it gives elasticity to the wheat bran, it ensures that the bran is sep- arated better during grinding and that the semolina is obtained more homogeneously in B1 rollers. Phase 3: We make changes to the diagram in the factory. With NCD MAX, we achieve much more successful results by making appropriate adjustments to the rollers, sieves and some flows in order to grind the wheat whose structure has changed as a result of tempering. What kind of benefits does the new generation milling system, which is named after your initials, provide for a flour plant? The NCD Next Generation Milling System is a revolution in
