Omas partners on new mill in Uganda
PADOVA, ITALY - Omas Industries earlier this year was selected
as the technology partner to extend the Master Grain Milling plant in
Jinjia, Uganda. The new 300-tonne-per-day mill will be built alongside
an old Golfetto mill, which was completed in 2000, Omas said.
Under terms of the partnership, Omas will provide the mill with its
"building economy" technology, which the company said will reduce
the number of levels, construction volume, and total building and
foundation weight by 25%.
Two cone-bottom silos with a mixer and capacity of 500 tonnes
each will feed the mill. The facility also will be equipped with grain

Omas said the grain cleaning line will feature a Giotto wheat sterilizer
to provide optimum management of the tempering. The sterilizer
removes the waterproof cellulose outer layers, the company said.
"Using this process, which has been entirely developed by Omas, the
surface of the caryopsis, as well as being stripped of any type of inorganic
(soil, sand, metals, ash, etc.) and organic impurity (bacteria, fungi, mold,
mycotoxins, etc.), undergoes an abrasion process to remove the cellulose
and lignin layers that form the waterproof outer of the wheat grain,"
Omas said. "This way, the conditioning water can penetrate up to 30%
more quickly and can also reach deep into the vitreous starchy kernel
for easier milling but also much lower technological H2O evaporation
that is not subject to the temperature and humidity in the air outside. The

result is higher yields and reduced
cleaning for plansifter channels and

Omas also said that a 5% to 8%
reduction in ash content will allow
the mill to extract 0.5% to 1%

A Leonardo roller mill at
the facility will feature KERS
technology, patented by Omas.
The KERS technology offers a
50% reduction in power input to the rollers, grain milling according to

remote control of milling settings, and reduced noise levels in the roller
mill room. The technology also does not require transmission belts or
preventive maintenance for its transmission parts, Omas said.
The Jinjia mill will have full Wi-Fi coverage and be managed from
tablets that are fully controlled by PLC with Omas software. There
will be a system to control milling performance, energy consumption
and preventive maintenance, the company said.
