kernel are pulverized to mush and pumped
through a series of screens. The pumping
action takes out as much gluten and
starch as possible, leaving only the fibre
to go over the screens. The fibre is press-
ed and is either mixed in the 3:1 ratio with
the C.S.L. for blended cattle gluten or
dried. Approximately 85 per cent is used
for wet feed. The remaining 15 per cent is
dried and acts as a buffer, giving Bill
DeMille and Bob Johnson a bit of leeway
for their customers. C.S.L. and corn fibre
are not the only processes at Nacan
which are utilized by the agricultural sec-
tor.
The next process at the plant involves
the primary separation of the starch from
the gluten, and after the water is also
taken out of the gluten, what remains is a
liquid with a very yellow consistency
which contains 60 per cent protein when
dried and is sold for animal feed and pet
food. A blower takes the gluten out to a
storage silo where it is sold in bulk.
The remaining starch passes through a
starch watching system which removes
all impurities. The purified starch comes
off the starch watching system at a rate of
fifty gallons per minute into tanks where it
is treated in a batch system for whatever
starch product is required.
The treated starch is dried at a rate of
16,000 to 17,000 pounds per hour in tanks
holding 140.000 lbs. each of dry
substance, and is then shipped out in
3,000 pound containers to starch
manufacturers. It takes three bushels of
corn to make 100 pounds of starch, a
kernel containing 33 per cent starch by
weight.
Nacan employs a total of 70 workers
and the plant operates twenty-four hours
a day, five days a week. No storage
facilities are provided for the gluten so,
for this reason, a truck must be parked
under the gluten outlet at all times.
It takes about four hours to fill a trailer
with gluten. Enerpro is considering hiring
another driver to ease the work load of the
two truck drivers now employed who often
work a seventy hour week delivering the
gluten fresh to the farmer.
The amount of gluten delivered 'o each
farmer is calculated according to the size
and number of cattle being fed as well as
