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.
