The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) Pulse Research Unit requires the supply and delivery of one (1) Laboratory Pin Mill to expand pulse research projects . Delivery is to be to the CGC, Winnipeg, Manitoba on or before March 15, 2013.
Laboratory Pin Mill for the Canadian Grain Commission "Pulse" is a derivative of the Latin word puls, meaning "porridge". Pulses are the edible seeds of legumes, like beans, chickpeas, lentils and peas. They are rich, not only in protein and starch, but also in other nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals. Pulse production in Canada has been increasing rapidly during the last 10 years and increased emphasis on the export of Canadian pulse crops has given rise to an increased demand for information on their end-use quality. The Pulse Research Program section of the Grain Research Laboratory (GRL) at the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) is to support the CGC's mandate, which is to establish and maintain standards of quality for Canadian grain and regulate Canada's grain handling system, to ensure a dependable commodity for domestic and export markets. The quality assurance program delivered by the CGC assures consistent and reliable grain quality that meets the needs of international and domestic markets. The primary objective of the Pulse Research Program at the CGC is to provide insights into the factors that affect biochemical components and end-use quality of Canadian pulse crops. This research meets the needs of pulse producers, marketers and processors for pulse quality information. It also enhances the marketability of Canadian pulses, which supports the CGC's grain quality assurance system. The Pulse Research Program also involves developing new or improved methods for measuring and assessing pulse end-use quality. This research provides the pulse industry with consistent and objective measurements for pulse quality and in turn supports the evolution of grain standards that meet changing industry needs. In order to meet the demand of the Canadian pulse industry on pulse end-use quality and to support the CGC mandate, the GRL's Pulse Research Unit needs a laboratory pin mill to expand pulse research projects. A pin mill is a piece of equipment with which a pulse material is broken into a finer end product. A pin mill consists of two vertical steel plates with horizontal projections (pins) on their near faces. One disc is stationary whereas the other disc is rotated at high speed. The material is fed by gravity in through a hopper, and is thrown outwards by centrifugal action and broken against of the projections (pins) before it is discharged to the outer body of the mill and falls under gravity from the bottom of the mill.
