Yesterday we had visitors from Ethiopia to visit our milling system. Mr. Peter Dyk, the CEO and founder of CMS explained the patented milling process, showed them the operational company and discussed different topics about the specifications and local requirements in Ethiopia.
Besides turn key ready milling systems, CMS offers the patented pin mill (which is part of a CMS system) for the production of whole meal flour, for milling semolina or oil press cakes. The pin mill showed on the picture is for an Austrian customer, can be ordered in every RAL colour, in two different sizes (7,5 and 18,5 kW), has got a new design and new SIEMENS security lock.
Grain harvest in northern Austria: From 5am until midnight, farmers arrive straight from the fields with their grain to bring it to our mill, 7 days a week. During dry periods, the fields must be harvested quickly, machinery has to work efficiently and reliable and teamwork is very important in order to protect what mother nature gives us: healthy food. We wish every farmer a successful harvest!
CMS and the Dyk-Mill is today operating in the 5th generation. Since 1881, experience has been passed on in unbroken succession from generation to generation. We are proud to be an Austrian family company, operating internationally and distributing extraordinary quality to the world.
A CMS 900kg/h maize mill installed 1998 due to a UNIDO project
During the last day of our visit in Tanzania, we have visited a CMS 900kg/h maize mill, which was installed 1998 due to a UNIDO project. After 19 years, the mill is still in a good condition.
CMS has met one of the biggest milling companies in Tanzania, a successful family business since decades. Besides grain milling, they operate oil production, transportation, trading and food processing.
While one CMS team is in Tanzania, Ms. Lisa Dyk, Managing partner, had a meeting in Abuja with the Nigerian Ministry of Industry together with our Nigerian partner today.
CMS is currently in Tanzania visiting private silo owners as well as governmental institutions in the grain industry. The country is well structured and has a big potential when it comes to industrial agriculture. We are looking forward to a long term relationship here.
20 bags of 25kg organic wheat flour are waiting to be picked up. Millers in Austria expect an increase of wheat prices, as the drought will harm the harvest 2017, which will start in about two weeks. Nevertheless we wish every farmer a satisfying harvest!
CMS has visited the Austrian Export Day at the chamber of commerce in Vienna. It was a big event and almost every trade commissioner was represented here. As CMS focusses on exporting products worldwide, it was an important event and many more will follow.
CMS took part in a course for testing grain by human sensors. As harvest is coming closer, this is very helpfull for flour mills, if they take over the grain from the farmers. by smell, optic and a feeling a first evaluation about the quality of the raw material can be submited. if there are abnormalities, an analysis by an accredited laboratory is mandatory.
The rough principle of a roller mill shown in a laboratory in Vienna. The extraction rate of this small machine is just about 20%. Every experienced miller knows that this is not comparable with a sophisticated mill for superfine flour. CMS mills have an extraction rate of 82%, if the raw material is appropriate. The shown machine is not usable for commercial purposes, but nice to watch!
