Dry Milling

Abstract

Wet milling of maize is a highly sophisticated and capital-intensive process. Pounding, the traditional small-scale method for the production of meal, on the other hand is very wasteful. This profile describes an alternative small-scale method, dry milling by machine, which greatly reduces waste. The milling capacity is 250 kg. maize per hour (500 tonnes per year); employment is 2 people; and total investment is approximately $ 8,100.
