Jakarta, Indonesia - Bogasari Flour Mills chooses Ocrim’s innovation for H, I & J mills

by Eloisa Martino, Ocrim, Italy

Ocrim, one of the most renowned companies in the world for the construction of milling plants, is one of the main suppliers of the Indonesian Bogasari Flour Mills and has been since 1971. Indeed, both boast years of loyal partnership, which has enriched and strengthened their business and the countries they belong within.
 


Once again, Bogasari Flour Mills, one of the most notorious milling companies in the world, has chosen Ocrim to perform a complete retrofit and expansion project, in two phases, of the H, I & J mills of Jakarta with precise production objectives. The lines have been in service for over 40 years and originally supplied by Ocrim, for a capacity of 800 tonnes/24h for each line.

The two phases involved, in the first instance, the retrofit and expansion of the cleaning lines and, secondly, the complete retrofit and expansion of the three milling lines with the requirement to take them to the maximum capacity possible within the same building footprint. Ocrim have eagerly accepted the challenge and have transformed the three milling lines, reaching a daily capacity of 50 percent higher than the previous ones, i.e. for a capacity of 1200 tonnes / 24h for each line. The new lines feature all new equipment of the latest generation.

It has been a real gamble, both in researching the ideal layout and in optimising space. To achieve the desired results it was necessary to reinforce the civil structure of the building, due to additional loads, integrating the building with an additional floor to exploit as much as possible the concept of energy savings applied to the entire plant and, moreover, with a very innovative and efficient diagram, it has been possible to implement Ocrim’s last generation double deck roller mills, used in an optimal way to obtain an excellent final product, and to apply modular plansifter with 10 channels also for a concrete optimisation of the spaces.

It should be remembered that, 40 years ago, a similar cutting-edge work was carried out on the original project in order to obtain a state-of-the-art plant and LKK roller mills were installed, which were already considered a futuristic cut at that point in time. Today, for this new project, it is possible to note that Ocrim have reserved the same attentions and have conceived the entire work through an innovative approach that regards the design, technical and technological aspects.
