The IGP Institute has teamed up with Bühler, Inc. to offer a milling course in Spanish.
The milling industry is constantly improving and integrating
modern technologies with people who are passionate for developing the best
products domestically and globally. Kansas State University’s IGP Institute, in
conjunction with Bühler, Inc., will host its Bühler-KSU Spanish Executive
Milling course August 28 – September 1, 2017 at the IGP Institute Conference
Centre in Manhattan, Kansas.
The course is designed as an introduction to flour milling
and flour quality, grain cleaning and functionality.
Jason Watt, Bühler instructor of milling, explains that the
course is an asset for those wanting to broaden their knowledge of the flour
milling industry.
He comments, “It is a great course for new managers, sales
personnel or customer service representative as well as anyone wanting to learn
the basics of milling. This course will give them an understanding of the flour
milling process and allow them to be successful in the industry.”
Course topics for this training include raw materials,
cleaning systems, milling systems, finished product handling and storage,
performance evaluation in a flour mill and factors that influence an investment
decision and basics in aspiration.
This course will also include hands-on exercises
demonstrating the influences of wheat characteristics on yield and mill
performance, special systems for mycotoxin reduction and top quality flour
production, machine and flow sheet technology, system design and various
tempering philosophies, among other topics.
Participants do not need any past milling experience to take
the course. The course is designed for mill owners, directors and managers.
Former course participant, Eugenio de la Mora, enjoyed the
many aspects of the course.
She remarks, “As a planning director, people report to me
for financing, plant design and food technology. The theory used in this course
was complete and helpful. The IGP Institute has left a tremendous impression
with the knowledgeable people and outstanding facilities.”
This is just one example of the trainings offered through
IGP Institute. In addition to grain processing and flour milling, IGP offers
courses in the areas of grain marketing and risk management, and feed
manufacturing and grain quality management.
