The candidate obtaining the Advanced Certificate with the best performance over all seven Modules qualifies for the Silver Medal and is also given the opportunity to write a thesis.
Each thesis is an original work, based around a subject specific to the milling industry, the results of which are both informative and beneficial to all flour millers. The projects are reviewed and evaluated by a panel of industry experts. If the submitted thesis is of sufficient merit the author is awarded the nabim Gold Medal.
The theses are available to order from nabim, priced at £15 per copy. An outline of each thesis and its content is provided below. To order a copy or for more information please contact ClaytonFreedland@nabim.org.uk
The effect of different roll dispositions on first break performance and stock distribution,
Pham Thanh Bang, 2003
In the milling industry, every one knows well that the disposition of the fluted rolls has a vital affect on the overall mill performance, especially for the 1st break rollermill, the first machine to break the wheat grain in the mill flow . How the grain is broken at this stage contributes to the stock distribution for the following break passages, for the purifiers and for the reduction system. This thesis aims to study the affect of the different 1st BK roll dispositions to the break stock distribution( % coarse overtail,% coarse /medium/fine semolina); to the percentage and quality of break flour; to power consumption ; to roll temperature ;and to flute wear
Alternative Methods of Insect Infestation Management: A Flour Milling Perspective,
Sherry Lynne Grace, 2002
The principal effective infestation treatment, Methyl Bromide, is being phased out due to its ozone depleting properties. In light of this, possible and practical alternatives are being researched. This thesis explores possible viable alternative methods of insect infestation management. It is intended to stimulate the milling industry to develop suitable strategies for managing insect infestation based on site-specific needs and limitations
Mill Maintenance Beyond 2000,
Steven Meldrum 1999
In order to ensure that companies can consistently deliver the high level of mill performance and reliability expected, asset maintenance strategies must exist. With a structured cost effective maintenance strategy in place, couple with highly motivated people, it is possible to raise mill performance to a greater level as we go into and beyond the year 2000. This thesis presents some of the procedures and methods that are available in helping to achieve this goal.
Process Control Within the Mill,
Neil Walker, 1997
A detailed analysis of process control within the mill, focusing upon Programmable Logic Controller; specific applications that can be used within the mill and; Management Information Systems and the advantages they can bring to the mill.
Changes in Screenroom Technology,
David Baxter, 1994
The principles of the screenroom remain relatively unchanged over time, though the technology and introduction of new cleaning procedures. This paper discusses the various changes and implementation of new practices within the screenroom.
Quality Control in Flour Milling,
E.A. Kirya-Lodia, 1992
In this modern competitive world of business every single organisation endeavors to be the best. In the flour milling industry this can only be achieved if the products quality satisfies that of the customer. This comprehensive thesis covers quality control drawing conclusions from extensive testing procedures.
Recent Advances in Breadmaking Technology,
John Taggart, 1992
This thesis provides a review of modern breadmaking processes, highlighting the importance of understanding flour performance and its limitations. An extremely detailed study discussing the developments in technology surrounding the breadmaking processes.
Profitability and Cost Control in Flour Milling,
Saidi Hussein Ibrahim, 1989
This project discusses effective cost control within the mill drawing direct reference from all areas of business management; production planning; labour costs; raw materials; stock control; and other associated costs.
The Control and Measurement of Moisture in Flour and Mill by-products,
Gordon Barrett, 1988
The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into moisture control and distribution within a commercial mill. Based on qualitative research, the thesis details the process of: conditioning; sieving; the break system; and the reduction system with relation to moisture control.
Home-Grown Wheat For Bread Flour,
H.J. Galbraith, 1986
This work lists and discusses the various factors which have been responsible for the increase in usage of Home-Grown UK wheat for bread grists. The study concludes by assessing the effect of bread grists on present media and consumer attitudes.
Modern Concepts of the Theory and Practice of Conditions and Influence on Milling,
Ian M Robinson, 1983
A perceptive study looking at the changing technology and conditioning concepts/practices. An interesting review of systems and theories, many of which we have seen brought in to the modern practice of flour milling.
