Flour millers hope to gain knowledge and experience
in both basic and advanced milling offerings.
Multiple courses of basic and advanced skill levels
in flour milling are being offered at the IGP Institute Conference Center at
Kansas State University.
Both of these opportunities are offered in June,
with the IGP–KSU Basic Milling Principles planned for June 5–9, and the IGP–KSU
Advanced Milling course set for June 12–16, 2017.
These two courses will offer knowledge of milling
and hands-on learning, as well. Some of the lessons that will be taught in the
Basic Milling course involve wheat cleaning equipment and optimisation,
measuring extraction, impact of wheat quality on milling extraction, wheat
conditioning equipment and techniques, advantages of wheat and flour blending,
milling different classes of wheat, and the flour milling process.
This course will provide a comprehensive
understanding of the milling process and how employees impact the process.
During the Advanced Milling section, participants
can expect to learn information covering analysis of mill flow sheets and
design, mill balance and product distribution, roll and sifter surface, impact
of wheat quality on flour quality, starch damage, cumulative attribute curves,
sifting and sifter design, purification system, and process control.
The IGP–KSU Advanced Milling course will help
participants expand on topics from the Basic Milling Principles course to
include quantitative techniques to analyse and improve the process flow, and
also provide an understanding of the variables that impact production
efficiencies and enhance the troubleshooting skills of mill personnel.
“These courses dive into the technical aspects of
optimising the milling process and individual machines, which is exciting for
the participants and instructors,” says Shawn Thiele, course instructor and IGP
Institute flour milling specialist.
“The diverse milling knowledge that is also brought
in from the participants promotes excellent class discussion and provides
different views of milling.”
Both of these courses will provide insight and be
the most beneficial for milling engineers, operation managers, production
managers, head millers and shift managers.
