The art of a modern miller working with wheat, cereals, grains and … plastics and metal

www.gfmt.co.uk

Finding solutions for milling and drying problems within the grain, cereals and chemical industries – both in terms

of ingredients and machinery - is the role the Jäckering 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 pro-duction, custom-grinding practices and machine building for a worldwide customer base.

To visit the company’s head office at Vorsterhauser Weg 46 in Hamm, you have to question whether your satellite naviga-tion system has brought you to the wrong destination. You’re in a residential street in the centre of the city. Not the expected location for one of Germany’s oldest and most respected grain processors and equip-ment manufacturers.

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 Jäckering Group’s head office.

It’s 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 it’s 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 you’re 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, we’re in the right place! This is the head office of Jäckering, run by company owner and art collector Michael Andreae-Jäckering.

Julia Lamskemper, head of sales for Mühlen- und Nährmittelwerke, was there to greet us. Shown to the boardroom and over a strong German coffee we are told about Mr Andreae-Jäckering’s 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.

2010 and 30 years under the guiding hand of Mr Andreae-Jäckering. An impressive book of art, published in 2010, records all the art he has collected, and is on the boardroom table.

Mr Andreae-Jäckering has set the com-pany up in five sub-groups which are largely independent in operation with unique devel-opments and state-of-the-art technologies in milling and starch production, engineer-ing, warehousing and transportation and processing of thermoplastics. In addition to the wheat gluten mill we are visiting today on Hamm Harbour, the four other opera-tions are located throughout Germany, from Hamm-Harbor to Cologne to Kassel.

From machinery…Machine construction is one of the main

activities of the Jäckering Group with labo-ratories 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 proc-ess between 10kg - 18,000kg per hour with

motor sizes ranging from 7.5kW - 900kW.Jäckering 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-Jäckering in a video on the company’s 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.

Innovations for a better world.

Mixing at the highest level. Whether you mix powders, flakes, or granular materials

– the horizontal mixing process of the Bühler 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 Bühler design

of sanitary stainless steel. Sanimix – mixing at the highest level.

Wheat gluten is delivered to a number of food customers worldwide and used for the production of bakery products, bread-ings, batters, coatings and flavours, breakfast cereals, cheese analogues and pizza, milling and flour fortification, nutritional snacks, pas-tas, 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 produc-tion 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.

facility on the Hamm Harbour has an annual throughput of more than 270,000 tonnes of wheat.

Each load of wheat arriving at the fac-tory is carefully controlled for its quality and sorted according to its various parameters.

With nearly a century of operation Jäckering has developed experience and know-how which is unique among proces-sors 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 Jäckering 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.

Major moments in the history of Jäckering 1910 The company was formed in 1910 when Hermann Jäckering set up the

Jäckering Mill and in 1945 Günter Jäckering added the trade name Mühlen- und Nährmittelwerke

1955 The Ultra-Rotor was designed and developed to grind wheat and other products before the Altenburger Maschinen Jäckering & Co was formed in 1958

1960 Enhancements of the Ultra-Rotor for the starch and protein production was made in 1960

1969 Construction of the Administration Building (Headquarters) in Hamm in 1969
