Grain Innovation Centre: Hosokawa Alpine intensifies cooperation with Bühler

Bühler AG opened its Grain Innovation Center (GIC) in Uzwil/Switzerland on 28 October. On 2000 square metres and five floors, customers can develop customised processes for the processing of grain, pulses & co. Also on show: the ZPS classifier mill and the ATP air classifier from Hosokawa Alpine.

The processing of natural raw materials such as grains, spices, herbs and pulses is a complex process that is strongly influenced by the different properties and quality of the raw materials. Bühler has inaugurated a new test centre, the Grain Innovation Center, so that customers can always find the optimum process. In the modernised centre, customers can use over 70 state-of-the-art machines and systems from Bühler and various partners to map the entire value chain of their processes with the starting material of their choice. Hosokawa Alpine contributed two machines to the GIC: a Zirkoplex ZPS classifier mill and a Turboplex ATP air classifier.
