industry, to ensure safe food production and continuous

optical sorters, then grains pass through a great system
of sieving and sifting that happens through Bühler's
trieurs and scourer, " Jamal Al-Hazaa said. " For the
milling section, we installed the newest generation
of the MDDY Diorit roller mills with touchscreen

plansifters and the Norit purifiers to ensure the production
of best-quality products under top hygiene levels. "
