BoMill (BOMILL) Status update summary

Industry challenge

• Wheat and barley quality varies by harvest and kernel; rising specifications, raw-material optimization pressure, climate change and geopolitical disruption add challenges.

• Batch sampling gives an 11% average protein reading while typical variation spans 9.5%–12.5%, masking quality differences and potential uses.

Individual-kernel analysis

• BoMill InSight uses NIR light in transmittance mode to analyze and classify each kernel’s internal properties at industrial scale, then sort by selected protein content.

• Operators set a protein threshold to split one batch into two products with different protein contents.

• Unlike conventional sorting based on size, shape, density, color or impurities, the technology measures internal grain quality, including protein.

Applications and platform

• Uses across grain handlers, maltsters, flour mills, high-volume operations and farms include meeting specifications, recovering higher-value grain, limiting downgrading and improving utilization.

• Modular BoMill InSight configurations: Single up to 2 mt/h; InSight 30 up to 30 mt/h; HiFlex capacity tailored to customer needs, including a 200 mt/h turnkey solution in a 40-foot container.

• InSight is designed for 24/7 industrial processing; InSight 30 and HiFlex are ready for SCADA integration.

• Customer projects include performance proofing with customers’ grain, business-case evaluation, integration with regional partners and customer-led capital approval timing.
