GRINDING:

Our main activity is grinding which is achieved by different milling options.

  • Roller milling is the classic option used to achieve consistency. Multiple shieving results in products with very specific granulation requirements.
  • Turbo milling produces a rougher product and is preferred when bulk density is important. Generally for smaller micron sizes or where further processing is involved these two methods  can be interchanged. All product  can be Graded  to any desirable size via the use of centrifugal sieves.
  • Pin Milling offers a reliable method of producing again a consistent  product and is used especially where an even-edged particle is preferred.  This results in a smoother texture and is used  mainly for the manufacturing of Rice Flour.

HEAT-TREATING

If  moisture or micro-biological standards require to be improved a  vacuum cooker is used as a method of "dry"  cooking with non direct  heating agent achieving  temperatures in  the region of 130 degrees This method  ensures beneficial micro-biological results for raw materials used  in products such as baby foods, while retaining essential starch levels. Moisture  levels  are controlled and can reach down to 4%. The products are commonly used where re-hydration is required, for example in instant soups and baby foods or where Viscosity is measured such as for coatings and blends. Moisture levels are maintained by the use of polyurethane-coated sacks of various sizes.

PACKING

Our automated  packaging machine offers flexibility  regarding sizes and materials that  can  be used to accommodate customers individual needs. Due to  the multiple adjustments  that can be done we can pack materials varying from grain to flour from 2 to 5 kg. Own label is an option.
