Utah Flour Mill

Bratney partnered with a major U.S. flour mill to install the first Omas dry scrubbing technology (DST) in a mainstream facility. The results were impressive—increased flour output, better quality, lower ash content, and a 20–30% reduction in tempering time. By optimizing scouring and freeing up space, the mill boosted efficiency and profitability, with payback in just 11–16 months. This project showcases Bratney’s ability to drive real results through innovative milling solutions.
