TheBasic Milling Procedures course covers the setup and use of the horizontal milling machine, and describes the functions of basic cutters and attachments. Uses "hands-on" projects so trainees actually gain experience on the milling machine. Includes a work-holding fixture project that can have practical value in the shop when finished. A prerequisite to this course is 323 - Machine Shop Job Analysis.
In addition to the upcoming courses listed below, IAOM has a Correspondence Course in Flour Milling that you may take at your own pace. This 8-unit course offers beginning and advanced topics on nearly every aspect of the mill and its processes authored by industry experts.
If you are ready for more advanced training, you should consider the Milling Technician Certificate Program, a unique certificate program that prepares candidates to work as an associate in many areas of a modern mill. The program requires each student to complete an internship at a functioning flour mill.
If cancellation is less than 27 days of the program date, 100% of the tuition is non-refundable. 100% of the tuition may be transferred to another person. Severe extenuating circumstances will be considered individually.

Course Description: This course focuses on the quality control and quality assurance principles of milling, including milling process quality, flour analysis, sampling and additives. Students will learn methods to quantitatively analyze both flour quality and mill performance. The tools and techniques introduced in this course will enable better more efficient communication between the milling operative and the quality control/quality assurance department.
Course Goals: This class will enhance the knowledge and skills of all those involved in the milling process to quantitatively analyze mass balance of material flowing through the mill and understand how to apply statistical process control techniques to monitor mill performance. Students will also gain an understanding of proper sampling techniques and tools to accomplish proper sampling, the impact of milling practices on flour quality and blending practices to meet customer specifications.
The objective of the course is to understand the underlying principle of the milling process and the parameters that can be influenced by either the raw material or the milling system; understanding the challenges of the operating staff; and learning which critical control points to check in order to judge whether an operation is running well.
Course topics include raw material (kernel structure, influence of wheat characteristics on yield and mill performance, usage of various types of wheat for different finished products); cleaning system (special systems for Mycotoxin reduction and top quality flour production, machine and flow sheet technology, system design and various tempering philosophies, practical in the Hal Ross mill); milling system (description and function of milling machines, basic flow sheet technology, basics in starch damage, practical in Hal Ross mill; break release, adjustment of purifiers and roll stands, sample analysis); finished product handling and storage (batch mixing versus continuous mixing systems, basics in flow quality, product safety and quality control); performance evaluation in a flour mill, factors that influence an investment decision and basics in aspiration.
The IGP Institute reserves the right to cancel or reschedule courses if minimum enrollment numbers are not met. If a course is canceled, participants will be refunded 100% of their tuition. If a course is rescheduled, participants will have the opportunity to have 100% of their registration fees applied to the rescheduled course or receive a full refund.
Participants who wish to cancel or transfer their registration to another employee can do so for a $100 processing fee as long as notice is received at least fifteen days prior to the course start date. Refund requests made fourteen days or less before a course start date will be not be refunded.
Another Harold Hall very useful book that offers a complete self-tuition course by means of four simple and four more complex projects. No prior knowledge is assumed and, besides operating procedures, the accessories and other equipment needed to get the best from the machine are also covered.
If you're looking to advance your career in the milling industry, you should check out the Milling Technician program at Cowley College. It's a great way to gain hands-on experience and learn the skills you need to succeed in this field. With expert instructors, you'll be well-prepared for a rewarding career in milling. Scholarships and financial aid are also available to support your educational goals.
This unique certificate program prepares candidates to work in flour mills. Studies will include basic math needed for the mill environment, as well as an overview of equipment, electronics and electricity, and pneumatic fundamentals. Students will be introduced to the milling process, the wheat characteristics and the industry, and the various requirements of the gradual reduction process in making wheat flour. Quality assessments will be an integral part of studies. At the conclusion of the courses, candidates will complete an internship at a functioning flour mill.
The Milling Technician Certificates at Cowley College are designed for incumbent milling employees with on-the-job mechanical experience seeking an industry-recognized certificate in grain milling without needing entry-level mechanical courses. Plus, this program can be completed entirely online.
The hands-on knowledge imparted in the iLabs enhances student success with both academic coursework and extracurricular projects. And it gives our graduates a clear advantage in entering the workplace as well-rounded, technically savvy engineers. In addition, iLabs staff support the work of MIME faculty and others across campus by designing and fabricating parts and components needed for teaching and research.
iLabs is available to any student who is a member of the College of Engineering (COE). To gain access to iLabs spaces, students must complete a series of qualifications to ensure proper training. iLabs Orientation and Shop Basics is the first qualification for all iLabs users.
There are a variety of research projects in progress year-round in COE. The iLabs provides a place for students to explore the many aspects of research, including design, machining, and final assembly. With our skilled staff, outstanding training courses, and excellent equipment, we are able to produce parts that meet or exceed the high level of precision demanded by research.
From pre-engineering to graduate level, COE students utilize iLabs facilities and expertise for completing course assignments, capstone design projects, research activities, and more. Such efforts may involve a variety of manufacturing techniques including welding, machining, CNC machining, rapid prototyping, and sheet metal work.
The machining process designed for precisely machining relatively hard materials. A lathe is a tool that rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about an axis of rotation. They were originally designed to machine metals; however, with the advent of plastics and other materials, and with their inherent versatility, they are used in a wide range of applications, and a broad range of materials.
The machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece by advancing or feeding in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. Milling processes are operations in which the cutting tool rotates to bring cutting edges to bear against the workpiece. Milling machines are the principal machine tool used in milling. It is one of the most commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to precise sizes and shapes.
The machining process primarily used to part material such as rough-cutting excess material away before machining or cutting curved patterns in sheet metal. Sawing machines substitute mechanical or hydraulic powered motion for arm motion to achieve the speed necessary for production operations. The cutoff operation is usually one of the first requirements in any production process before any machining, welding, or forging is done. The saw blade has individual teeth that "track" through the workpiece, each tooth deepening the cut made by the preceding tooth in the direction of feed. The saw or work may be fed and by controlling the direction of feed, either straight or curved cuts can be made.
