OMAS HAS CREATED THE WORLD’S FIRST GLUTEN-FREE MILL, ABLE TO PROCESS GRAINS AND LEGUMES FOR MAXIMUM FLOUR AND SEMOLINA EXTRACTION FOR FOOD INDUSTRY USE

Liwayway (Oishi), Asian multinational and market leader in over 10 states when it comes to reconstituted products and snack foods, has chosen OMAS technology to build the first alternate mill in the world, to process multi-grains and legumes.

In July 2017 the company LIWAYWAY and OMAS tried out the world’s first alternate mill, able to produce 20 types of semolina or 15 types of fine flour, alternating between the two.

The new plant, installed in Ho Chi Minh City, has been built to produce raw materials for the three processing sites in the south, centre and north of Vietnam.

It has been installed in a combined cement-steel structure inside an existing hangar, reconditioned and raised to the vigorous hygiene standards required for food production.

The plant will alternately produce the semolina and flours that are the  ingredients for extrusion, expansion, baking, drying and frying over 30 snack food lines.

LIWAYWAY in fact has a 70% share of the Vietnamese market with over 45 different types of snack, known by the trademark “Oishi”, founded in 1974 and a great success throughout the Far East.

The innovatively designed mill will manufacture all products in an entirely automated manner, using repeatable recipes, stored to memory.
