Roncaglia OPR: Space Age

technology for Grain Milling

/er-increasing energy costs compel the )ur milling industry to give serious con deration to the daunting economic ospects involved in a new plant jildings, fuel, transportation and ser ces. many instances, the returns associat i with conventional mills do not warrant e investment because of the inevitable ing-up of capital for long periods. But, )w there is a solution that solves many these problems. It is the Roncaglia PR System, internationally patented. 5 the world moves towards the 1990’5, e Roncaglia OPR System meets the lallenge of this decade by giving the )ur milling industry a concept of produc >n enjoyed by many since 1953 that at e same time meets the need for space je technology.

Dncaglia OPR mills can be part of an listing plant or they can be ‘‘turnkey’’ )erations from cereal intake to final icking and bulk handling.

Dncaglia OPR mills can be housed with minimum of fuss in any simple building 5 metres height. They can be produc g flour from wheat as from maize, oat,

barley rice, rye sorghum, millet in a mat ter of months from first ordering the plant.

Even mills as large as 500 m.tons of wheat per 24 hours capacity average only 12 months from inception to full produc tion.

This speedy completion of the project is entirely due to the unique Roncaglia OPR Milling System.

The first consideration is the elimination of the plansifter which requires large buildings with conventional installations.

This need has been overcome by the patented air-sifter, which uses air cur rents and a simple sieve. The air-sifter ob viates the need for the multi-storey con cept, thus making economic considera tions viable.

The Roncaglia OPR mill of whatever ca pacity can be housed in any simple build ing of five metres clear height. It is the only mill that can be built up from a-small initial unit, or can have a number of units running side by side, milling different ce reals. It is the only plant that does not need considerable remodelling for changes in flour specifications.

No other mill-building company can guar

antee its products for 10 years nor can anyone assure a break roll life of as long as six to eight years without refluting. It reduces maintenance to minimum levels and offers economies in staffing, The concept of large buildings inevitably means high energy and maintenance costs on top of the cost of the construc tion itself. Site selection and preparation can involve much expense and difficulty, especially if there are environmental complications.

The RoncagNa opR system e minates many of these difficulties, not needing much more than a simple foundation for a portal framed structure that complies w regulations of planning authorities. In many instances, it saves up to 70% in capital costs.

Every Roncaglia OPR system, whether arqe or sma j nc ( uc |es erection and commissioning expenses, and training of sta ff t 0 operate the mill effectively To en sure con fidence in the investment, Ron caglia has a comprehensive after-sales serv j ce t 0 achieve the highest level of production at all times.
