FEATURE: NORTH AMERICAN SUPPLIER PROFILES

Research, development and training lead to superior service
Bühler North America, with offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. and Toronto, Ontario, Canada, designs and constructs plants and equipment for many segments of the food and non-food industries. Bühler’s grain processing business division provides the following services to the flour milling industry: • wheat, durum, maize and rye milling; • storage and handling of finished products; • bagging and loading; • heat treatment of flour, bran and germ; • ready mix plants for flour products; and • raw materials handling for bread and bakery goods. Earlier this year, Bühler debuted its Vega High Performance Grain Classifier MTVA. Whether processing wheat, rye, oats, rice, corn/maize or barley — the Vega has high throughput capacities and low energy consumption — up to 50% energy savings over comparable machines. A total of three different cleaner versions have been designed to process a wide range of grain varieties at throughput rates varying between 15 and 200 tph. Vega’s use of highgrade components results in long maintenance intervals. Even in continuous operation, this keeps maintenance costs low.

Processing equipment
Carter Day has been manufacturing processing equipment for over 100 years and during that time it has obtained application information involving almost all cereal grains and other free flowing granular materials. Carter Day’s equipment design strategy focuses on adaptability and trouble-free operation. Today’s models require dramatically lower maintenance than those of less than a decade ago. Our modular building block approach to construction allows us to prebuild common components and assemble your order in weeks, not months. Carter Day’s patent-pending VDMC Perforated Panels found on the incoming air side of the product stream allow for a 40-inch aspiration column, which cascades the product through a constant flow of air. That means not just six passes of 1-inch of air, but the full column, making it a highly efficient density separator. The perforation size is adjusted per the product being aspirated.

Cereal business suppliers
CETEC Cereal Technologies, Inc. was established in 1986 to serve the North American cereal milling and food processing industries. Initially, the company was only involved in flour milling. Since that time, CETEC has grown and diversified its business into complementary industries that encompass: • milling, including flour, semolina, corn, specialty, rice, feed and spice; • materials handling; and • flour heat treatment. CETEC is associated with a select group of Italian companies that represent excellence in cereal milling and food processing technology: • Ocrim - milling and materials handling; and • Vomm - flour heat treatment system. In addition to providing these market-leading brands, CETEC has pursued the development of its own range of specialized process equipment such as the highly regarded HTX Grain Heater, and the revolutionary Hydromax flour hydrator. From its head office in Millersville, Maryland, U.S., it provides a complete range of services to its customers from project viability studies, unit machine sales through turn-key plants including installation, commissioning and after-sales support.
