Sometimes a small deficit in grain product quality creates a steep reduction in the product´s economic value. Under the established systems of grading wheat, barley, or durum, even a tiny number of kernels of undesirable quality can easily reduce the value of the total grain batch by 25 percent or even to an almost total loss.
On a conceptual level, there ought to be a better way. If we simply removed the exact amount of offending material, the higher economic value of what is left would presumably justify the effort. Until recently, however, the grain industry has lacked a proven, efficient method of doing so.
The traditional methods of grain sorting are limited to the removal of odd-looking kernels as observed and judged from the visual inspection of their surface properties ie discoloured kernels or kernels with abnormal morphological properties. These methods are, however, unable to judge the quality of the most valuable part of the kernel – its inner part.
The Swedish company BoMill has developed a globally unique grain sorting technology which enables sorting of grains beyond visual surface properties. This proprietary technology makes it possible to analyse and identify each kernel in a batch and grade them according to their internal qualities.
BoMill: A pioneer in grain sorting based on the internal properties of the grains
BoMill’s advanced sorting technology “looks inside every single kernel” to decide its classification: eg into animal feed or human food, by using NIR-light in transmission mode with the capacity of 25,000 kernels-per-second, sorted into three or six quality fractions. This method captures the hidden value in every grain batch, allowing the industry to optimise yield and revenue from every harvest and, thus, directly contributing to UN Sustainability Goals for 2030.
This ground-breaking technology has been developed since 2001 and has, so far, resulted in two commercial products (sorting devices): the IQ Sorter for laboratory sorting and the TriQ Sorter – the industrial version.
BoMill’s technology has been recognised internationally by TERRA (a global innovation accelerator initiative by Rabo Bank & Rocketspace, which fuels ground-breaking transformations in the food and agriculture industries) as a disruptive technology that can redefine the grain industry.
