The

working with wheat, cereals, grains and plastics and metal

art of a modern miller

by Roger Gilbert, Publisher, Grain and Feed Milling Technology magazine, United Kingdom
The WWII upright bunker, stripped of its outer coverings and standing behind a metal rod fence takes the mind away from all things flour milling yet it stands on the very location of Jckering Groups head office. Its with some trepidation that you enter the car park behind the shelter, where an 18-metre tall industrial-style chimney rises out of the ground as if its guarding the entrance to the car park which in turn is laid out like a landing strip. A car chassis has been impaled on the back wall of the shelter. The short walk to office block at number 46 again suggests youre in completely the wrong place with a lake and a native area of trees and shrubs towards the back of the property. In fact, on entering number 46 the eye is captured by what appears to be art everywhere. There are metal sculptures at the entrance, the chairs and coffee table in the open waiting area are crafted iron and even the balustrade for the stairwell, is an all-metal sculpture. An odd one-tonne piece of steel girder in the shape of a T rests in one corner under the stairwell, looking as it might topple over at any moment. Yes, were in the right place! This is the head office of Jckering, run by company owner and art collector Michael AndreaeJckering. Julia Lamskemper, head of sales for Mhlen- und Nhrmittelwerke, was there to greet us. Shown to the boardroom and over a strong German coffee we are told about Mr Andreae-Jckerings love of art. Art is everywhere on the wall, floors and outside the windows. The office space is more like an art gallery than a working head office of a milling and engineering company. However, the art does not disguise the achievements of the company, which celebrated achieving a century of operation in

inding solutions for milling and drying problems within the grain, cereals and chemical industries both in terms of ingredients and machinery - is the role the Jckering Group, located in Hamm, Germany, has chosen for itself. After more than a century of operation, the company has become increasingly dominant in European wheat processing, wheat gluten production, custom-grinding practices and machine building for a worldwide customer base. To visit the companys head office at Vorsterhauser Weg 46 in Hamm, you have to question whether your satellite navigation system has brought you to the wrong destination. Youre in a residential street in the centre of the city. Not the expected location for one of Germanys oldest and most respected grain processors and equipment manufacturers.

2010 and 30 years under the guiding hand of Mr Andreae-Jckering. An impressive book of art, published in 2010, records all the art he has collected, and is on the boardroom table. Mr Andreae-Jckering has set the company up in five sub-groups which are largely independent in operation with unique developments and state-of-the-art technologies in milling and starch production, engineering, warehousing and transportation and processing of thermoplastics. In addition to the wheat gluten mill we are visiting today on Hamm Harbour, the four other operations are located throughout Germany, from Hamm-Harbor to Cologne to Kassel.

From machinery
Machine construction is one of the main activities of the Jckering Group with laboratories to support the development of tailor-made milling and drying technology solutions. For example, the company has been building air-turbulence mills, which form the basis of its Ultra-Rotor, ultra-gentle grinding system, for more than 60 years and has more than 1000 of these unique mills installed in factories worldwide. They are noted for their durability, low maintenance, low energy and minimal wear and tear costs. They can process between 10kg - 18,000kg per hour with

motor sizes ranging from 7.5kW - 900kW. Jckering Ultra-Rotors are not just used in the grain processing industries but for other applications such as plastics and metals as well.

to food ingredients
Many people are surprised what you can do with wheat. We not only make wheat flour, but wheat gluten and wheat

starch. This does not only go into the food industry but also into the paper industry, says Mr Andreae-Jckering in a video on the companys operation. Quality control is an essential phase in the production process, ensuring that exact product profiles can be achieved only when all values are known at the beginning of the process.

Whether you mix powders, flakes, or granular materials the horizontal mixing process of the Bhler Sanimix is synonymous with an unrivaled homogeneous product mix within extremely short mixing and discharge times. Available in the form of a paddle- or chopper mixer, the Sanimix is optimally equipped to handle both dry and specialty mixes. The unique geometry of the mixing trough and tools ensures a consistent and repeatable mixing accuracy. And needless to say that all this comes in the tried and true, rugged Bhler design of sanitary stainless steel. Sanimix mixing at the highest level. www.buhlergroup.com/sanimix

Sanimix MRMA. Highest mixing performance.

Outstanding homogeneity. The perfect match between the mixing trough and the mixing tools ensures homogeneous mixing results. Ultimate sanitation. Stainless steel and an inner surface without gaps satisfy the most rigorous sanitation standards. Tailor-made. Four machine sizes, two surface finishes, and numerous options allow an optimal adjustment to individual requirements. High throughput capacity. High mixing capacity thanks to extremely short mixing and fast discharge times. Easy maintenance. Easy to operate, easy to clean.

Innovations for a better world.

Start-up 2010 Installation of an evaporation plant. Start-up in 2011 Doubling of wheat storage capacity

facility on the Hamm Harbour has an annual throughput of more than 270,000 tonnes of wheat. Each load of wheat arriving at the factory is carefully controlled for its quality and sorted according to its various parameters. With nearly a century of operation Jckering has developed experience and know-how which is unique among processors of wheat flour, wheat starch and wheat gluten. About 140,000 tonnes of wheat starch is produced each year and 22,000 tonnes of wheat gluten is produced by the Jckering starch plant in the harbour. The technology to process wheat into starch and gluten has been developed in-house and optimised over more than four decades.

Wheat gluten is delivered to a number of food customers worldwide and used for the production of bakery products, breadings, batters, coatings and flavours, breakfast cereals, cheese analogues and pizza, milling and flour fortification, nutritional snacks, pastas, pet foods, and personal care products. The company is also aware of its environmental impact and has developed an additional production area that now means its the only wheat starch production plant in the world that does not produce a waste water stream. In fact, the wastewater that was produced is now being further processed to produce specific protein and energy products for animal rearing and clean water.
