Biggest change in the industry: “I think the biggest change in the industry has been the new types of recycle machines and the double-high grinding process. With double-high mills, the energy consumption per cwt. of flour has dropped significantly.” Personal key to success: “During my milling career, I have worked in about 17 different countries. The best thing about my job is meeting people from all over the world. I have been able to learn a lot from all of the experienced millers I have had the opportunity to work with.” Best product quality idea: “I have been involved with the development of many new products. However, I am most proud of the process we developed for Atta Flour in India.” Biggest challenge: “Since we are grinding according to flour ash levels, our biggest challenge is to produce the maximum amount of patent flour with the wheat we have. Perhaps the biggest challenge for the industry is transferring knowledge to the next generation.” Best cost savings idea: “Use more frequency drives on fans to lower energy consumption.” If I wasn’t in the milling industry: “I would have studied agriculture and tried to work for the United Nations.” Hobbies: “Golf, gardening, and postcard collecting.” Response No. 301 30 First Quarter 2008 Response No. 302 MILLING JOURNAL http://www.jebbbrush.com http://www.jebbbrush.com http://www.designcorrugating.com http://www.designcorrugating.com
