In the middle of this month, our factory completed the production and successful delivery of a corn mill grits making machine. The customer is a regional grain processing enterprise in Togo, rooted in the country’s main corn-producing areas, with business covering corn purchase, deep processing, and distribution of finished products.
Customer background information
The enterprise serves more than 30 villages and towns around the country, processing more than 5,000 tons of corn annually, and the products cover staple food materials such as corn grits and corn flour, which are important safeguards for the dietary structure of local residents.
In recent years, with the surge in demand for pre-processed food in the West African market, the customer urgently needs to break through the bottleneck of inefficiency in traditional manual threshing and grits making, and to promote capacity upgrading to cover a wider range of urban and rural markets.
Needs and challenges
- The original manual threshing and grits production process is time-consuming, with a high loss rate (more than 15%), making it difficult to meet the demand for large-scale orders.
- Poor uniformity of manually processed grits, affecting the purchasing willingness of downstream food processing enterprises.
- The price of imported refined corn products is high, and local enterprises lack market competitiveness.
Customers clearly require a corn mill grits making machine with “efficient threshing, low loss, easy maintenance” three core functions, and adapt to a high temperature, high humidity climate under continuous operation.
Solution of corn mill grits making machine
- The integrated design of the four processes of threshing-removing impurities-grits-making and milling makes the daily processing capacity of a single machine reach 8-10 tons of corn.
- The processing parameters can be adjusted automatically according to the humidity of the corn, and the uniformity of the finished particles is more than 98%.
- Adopting anti-corrosion stainless steel material and low-power motor, the energy consumption is reduced by 30%, adapting to the unstable environment of electricity in Africa.
