HOW WHITE IS WHITE? - PARTNERSHIP MEASURES FLOUR WHITENESS
Konica Minolta Sensing, a leading manufacturer of Colour Measurement systems and Satake Corporation, a global leader in the Flour Milling Industry have established a unique partnership within the UK Flour Milling Industry and is setting the standard for the colour measurement of flour to ensure the best quality products are produced.
In 1896, the founder of the Satake Corporation, Mr. Riichi Satake, grandfather of the current chairperson, Mrs. Toshiko Satake, invented and began the production of Japan's first power driven rice milling machine.
Satake has since achieved its position as one of the oldest and most advanced companies in its fields through its commitment to offering customers innovative solutions, specially developed to meet their needs. This customer first philosophy has led directly to the prosperity of the Company. Satake Europe Ltd, part of the Satake Corporation, are specialists in the engineering processes for cereal grains & related powdered and granular materials including Colour Sorting of granular materials.

The latest edition to Satake's long list of products is the new Multi Standard Flour Tristimulous colour grader, which has been made possible by the collaboration with Konica Minolta Sensing.
Satake and Konica Minolta Sensing have worked concertedly in supporting customers and the relevant industrial research organisation in order to facilitate the introduction of a laboratory method for Tristimulus flour colour measurement into the UK cereals market.
Martin Clare, Instrumentation Specialist at Satake Europe Limited said,
"The system offers a quick and accurate way of determining the Tristimulus flour colour using a dry sample whilst uniquely offering legacy wet sample measurement to the previous colour standard".
"Our relationship with Konica Minolta Sensing has not only enabled Satake branded units to be sold on a global scale but also provide on site services and maintenance to our customers, which without the support of Konica Minolta Sensing would not have been possible."
Paul Bowman, UK General Manager at Konica Minolta Sensing Limited said, "The relationship between Satake and Konica Minolta combines the exceptional expertise and market knowledge of Satake with Konica Minolta's proven capabilities in manufacturing and supporting accurate colour instrumentation on a global basis. It clearly demonstrates how customers can benefit from such collaborative effort in both quality of product and ongoing support and service."
Konica Minolta Sensing Europe BV offers a wide range of high-accuracy instruments for measuring colour and light to contribute to maintaining and improving product quality in a variety of industries.
They are also active in the medical sector, and in the field of 3D form digitization.
