Head Miller Training

$3,500.00 – $4,900.00

In the state-of-the-art wheat milling test facility created by Alapala Academy, you will have the chance to thoroughly learn and examine each step of the whole milling process, from grain to flour. In each milling step (cleaning, conditioning, milling, packing), you will be supported by advanced theoretical and practical trainings to learn how to make a mill more efficient.

Professional academy instructors will accompany the participants throughout the training. You will learn about lab analysis and cereal science – the science behind different grains, particularly wheat. Moreover, you will experience the art of bread making at our Bakery Innovation Center. You will also have a chance to see some of our latest milling machines up close and observe how they work.
