High efficiency elevator buckets modern vs. traditional An elevator bucket is an elevator bucket, right? Not anymore. Recent advances in design technology have brought the advent of the modern high efficiency centrifugal discharge elevator bucket. High efficiency elevator buckets push the traditional limits of carrying capacity, input flow and discharge, construction materials and diminished shipping space. A high efficiency elevator bucket has ALL of the following characteristics: (See Figure 1) The “breaks” or “angles” seen in the interior front face of some traditional grain handling elevator buckets serve no determinable function. They neither improve material flow nor discharge efficiency. They simply mimic the design employed by the original fabricated steel buckets of the 1920s, where a break press was used on sheet steel to gradually bend the metal into a curve. High efficiency elevator buckets have a smooth interior front face with employing compound curve geometry. This delivers an efficient discharge with no impediments and no crevices where product can collect. Clean out is efficient and cross contamination is minimized. High efficiency elevator buckets feature a tapered bottom. This tapered bottom is key to the performance of the high efficiency design and is leveraged for several advantages. It allows the buckets to be mounted closely together with a minimum of vertical spacing. This creates a “column” of input material and generates the greatest amount throughput possible in the elevator leg system.
Global Milling Advances / August Issue 2014

Close vertical spacing requires the efficient entry and exit of input materials into the elevator bucket string. The tapered bottom allows the buckets to fill and discharge not just from the front, but from the sides as well. This style of bucket feeds more efficiently on the up-leg, but also in the boot section as well. The tapered bottom allows high efficiency elevator buckets to nest inside one another. This makes shipping and storage more efficient. Traditional buckets do not nest and even when packaged to minimize space, it is mostly air that is being transported. A stack of high efficiency buckets is more dense, and as such, qualifies for the most economical freight rates. Additionally, they use less space in the motor trailer or ocean shipping container, thereby reducing costs even further. Once at the job site, they occupy less floor space for storage. The “wings” or “ears” found on traditional grain handling elevator buckets do not serve a determinable function either. The origin of the feature is unclear but appears to originate with the first
fabricated sheet steel buckets of the 1920s. It may have served as a handle for shop welders to safely grab with their fingers and they tack welded the inside of the buckets together. There is no evidence that the wing provides extra guidance for material during fill or discharge. Buckets cannot nest for shipping and storage if they have this feature. High efficiency elevator buckets do not have wings or ears. Material cost efficiencies are realized with the removal of this physical feature. In some cases, weight savings are realized as well. The advent of the modern high efficiency centrifugal discharge elevator bucket has brought industry greater throughputs and cost savings. Now popular in agricultural applications, they are becoming more widely accepted for industrial use as well, where over-sized slower moving elevator buckets have been utilized. A true high efficiency elevator bucket has a smooth interior front face, can be mounted closely together, has a tapered bottom, nests inside one another and has no wings on the sidewalls.

Food Fortification Rather than thinking of flour as the final output of a modern mill, think of the mill’s product as strong bones, healthy infants, and productive citizens. These indirect results may never be included in a milling company’s annual financial report, yet they are key outcomes for grain industries that practice fortification. Nutrients used in fortification address serious health concerns. In the United Kingdom, fortifying flour with calcium is credited with providing 14% of the population’s total calcium intake. Without fortification, it is assumed that people in the United Kingdom would not reach the recommended intake of this mineral which is essential for healthy bones and teeth. In the United States, adding folic acid to grain products is estimated to prevent 1,000 neural tube defects annually. The most common of these devastating birth defects is spina bifida which has no cure and requires a lifetime of care. The main impetus for fortifying flour in most countries is improving the population’s iron intake. In children, iron deficiency limits physical growth and mental development, and these losses are never recovered. Children who do not reach their full physical and academic potential will have limited future opportunities. In people of all ages, iron deficiency causes lethargy and lower productivity. It can also contribute to maternal mortality. Consequently millers who fortify their products are an integral part of preventing an array of health and economic problems caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. As such, the Food Fortification Initiative (FFI; formerly the Flour Fortification Initiative) seeks to include the private sector in every phase of a country’s fortification plans.
Global Milling Advances / August Issue 2014
Happy New Born. Fortifying wheat flour with folic acid reduces the incidence of neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifda, by an average of 46%, according to a meta-analysis published in 2010. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2845867/
When a country considers a food fortification program, FFI recommends forming a nationally representative committee with members of the public, private, and civic sectors. FFI’s strategy is to support these national partnerships with advocacy resources and technical assistance for planning, implementing, and monitoring fortification programs. “Of course fortification occurs at the mill, but successful national programs require support of leaders from public institutions, consumer associations, multilateral agencies, and academic groups as well as the milling industry,” said Scott Montgomery, FFI Director who worked for Cargill for 30 years before leading FFI. “I think of fortification as a public, private, and civic investment in nations.” One of the private sector’s roles in planning fortification programs is providing information to determine what foods
the population regularly consumes. In India, for instance, milling leaders could identify states where wheat flour products are commonly consumed and whether the foods there are made mostly with atta or maida flour. The milling industry can also explain where their products are distributed. Such information about a grain’s availability for human consumption will help policy makers determine which foods to fortify with specific nutrients. For example, vitamin A can be added to wheat and maize flour. While this essential nutrient can prevent childhood blindness, it also makes flour fortification much more expensive than only adding iron, zinc, folic acid, and other B vitamins. Information from the food industry can most likely identify more economical food products to fortify with vitamin A, such as sugar, margarine, or cooking oil.

In another example, a food scoping study in Pakistan showed that large-scale food fortification could help prevent problems with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In particular, the study determined it would be practical to fortify a variety of foods with iron, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The study also found a high prevalence of zinc deficiency, but the authors determined that agriculture options might be a more feasible means of improving zinc intake among the population.ďż˝ In addition to collaborating on plans for fortification, public and private sector leaders also need to work together to monitor the fortification program once it is implemented. A common weakness in quality assurance and quality control of fortification programs is the lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities between industry and government agencies. Other problems are often lack of resources for regulatory monitoring, poorly established or badly designed monitoring protocols and systems, and insufficient qualified laboratory resources and expertise to test product samples.
FFI trains milling leaders and government food control personnel in quality assurance and quality control measures. Both groups having the same understanding about their roles and responsibilities can accelerate fortification's implementation and improve efficiency. Currently 79 countries have legislation to fortify industrially milled wheat flour, and 12 of these countries also require fortification of industrially milled maize products. Some of these countries, especially those in the Americas, have been fortifying flour for decades. Countries in Africa in particular have made tremendous progress in flour fortification in the past few years. The progress in Africa will be the highlight of a meeting on 2-3 December preceding the Mideast Africa District Conference of the International Association of Operative Millers (IAOM). For details, see: http://www.ffinetwork.org/about/calenda r/2014/calendar_event.htmlThe next frontier in food fortification is rice. Currently only five countries have legisla
tion to fortify rice, though it is the main cereal grain consumed in most of Asia as well as parts of Central America and West Africa. Rice is typically fortified by creating fortified rice kernels through either an extrusion or coating process. The fortified rice kernels are blended with unfortified rice at predetermined ratios. This blended product is then packaged for consumers as fortified rice. The technology for rice fortification is not as simple as flour fortification, and rice fortification is more costly than flour fortification. The costs are expected to decrease however, as new technology emerges and rice fortification become more common. “We must find practical solutions for rice fortification because literally billions of people live in countries where health burdens are high and rice is a staple food,� Montgomery said. In 59 countries, an average of more than 75 grams of rice per person per day is
One consequence of iron deficiency in childhood is undeveloped cognitive skills. Consequently, fortifying flour with iron helps make children smarter. Photo by Roger Price

available for human consumption, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The highest average is in Bangladesh with 475 grams. The total population of these 59 countries is 4.1 billion. If fortification of industrially milled rice reached half of that population, 2 billion people would have more nutrition in their daily diets. As FFI expands its focus to include rice fortification, it will apply much of what it has learned from country experiences with wheat and maize flour fortification. The reasons to fortify are the same, regardless of the grain, and the planning and monitoring processes are similar for each grain. Only the technical process of fortification is different for rice. Certainly FFI’s principle that the private sector needs to be represented at every level of the fortification process will be the same for rice as it has been for wheat and maize flour. As rice fortification becomes more common, rice millers will also become an integral part of addressing public health concerns in their countries.
