About the Jäckering Gruppe
The Jäckering Gruppe is a family-run company founded in 1910 and headquartered in Hamm, Westphalia, employing nearly 200 staff at its sites in Hamm, Dülmen, Obersteeg and Altenburg. Its core competencies include the milling of wheat (several hundred thousand tonnes per year), the production of native wheat starch and vital wheat protein (wheat gluten) using the wastewater-free decanter process, the mechanical and plant engineering of ULTRA-ROTOR air-jet whirl mills, and the processing of thermoplastic plastics, in particular from side streams of the PVC industry. ULTRA-ROTOR technology enables fine grinding, grind-drying in a single operation, coating, classification as well as cryogenic and inert processing, including for explosive raw materials in pressure-shock-resistant design. Through Jäckering Processing GmbH, contract milling, contract mixing and packaging of non-food materials are offered. Customers come from the food, pet food/aquaculture, animal feed, chemical, construction materials, paper and PVC industries; an own combined heat and power plant and in-house research and development departments complement the value chain.

Materials & Processes
Wheat
Raw material for wheat flour, native wheat starch and vital wheat gluten.
Thermoplastics (PVC side streams)
Processing and treatment of side streams from the PVC industry in several thousand tonnes annually.
ULTRA-ROTOR air-jet whirl mill technology
Fine grinding and grind-drying by air turbulence, gentle and with adjustable grinding fineness down to the micron range.
Grind-drying
Comminution and drying of moist products or suspensions in a single operation, suitable for temperature-sensitive products.
Cryogenic and inert milling
Processing of temperature-sensitive and explosive raw materials in pressure-shock-resistant or inerted plant design.
Coating & classification
Optional coating of the product particles and separation by particle size using screen technology or classifiers.
Starch & protein (food, pet food, paper)
Use in the food, packaging paper, animal feed and aquaculture industries.
