The advantage of maize milling plant
Streamlined modular design
Using grain cleaning, two peeling, and one polishing process, the entire corn meal processing process is automated.
Wide range of applications
It can also process other grains, such as wheat, sorghum, millet and other grains.
Low maintenance cost
The main parts of the equipment are made of patented alloy materials that meet export standards, which can ensure production efficiency and take into account the long-term stability of the equipment, so that users do not spend more money on maintenance.
High degree of automation
Corn flour process automation, the entire corn flour production plant only needs one electric control worker and one packaging worker, so it can greatly save labor costs.
The process of maize milling plant
Step 1 Clean: the first step in the corn milling process is to clean the kernels. Wash the corn to remove dust, dirt, stones, and other impurities.
Step 2 Milling: the milling stage is when the corn is converted into flour. Grind the corn kernels into flour. There are several types of corn grinders, including hammer grinders and roll grinders, which use different methods to grind corn. A hammer mill uses a hammer or a baler to crush the corn into smaller particles, while a roller mill uses a roller to crush the grain.
Step 3 Screening: after milling, the resulting corn meal may still contain impurities and particles of varying sizes. The flour is sifted through a mesh or sieve to remove impurities and separate it into different particle sizes.
Step 4 Packaging: the end product is corn meal, which is packaged distributed, and sold. Corn flour should be stored in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated place to prevent moisture absorption and spoilage.

How much Can You Get Profits from gaize milling plant
Profit for 50 tons maize milling plant: when the moisture content of corn is 15%, the market price of corn per ton is $307. Each ton of corn can produce 440 kg of coarse grain, and the wholesale price of each kg of coarse grain is $0.41, 440 kg×0.41$/ kg, a total of $180.4; Each ton of corn can produce 290 kg of corn flour, the wholesale price is $ 0.38 per kg, 290 kg × 0.38 $/kg, a total of $110.2; Each ton of corn can produce 70 kilograms of embryos, the market price of each kilogram of embryos is $0.48, 70 kg × 0.48$/kg, a total of $33.6. The total value of each ton of finished product is $324.2, so the value of each ton of raw corn after processing and production is $17.2.
| Item | Unit price | Running cost(ton) |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity consumption | USD 0.11/unit | USD 6.6(60KW*$0.11KW/H) |
| Cost of labor | USD 0.34/person/ton | USD 2.04(6 person） |
| Equipment maintenance cost | USD 2.73/ton | USD 2.73/ton |
| Packaging cost | USD 5.46/ton | USD 5.46/ton |
| Total | USD 16.83 |
So the gross profit per ton is $17.2, the production cost per ton is $16.83, and the profit per ton is $0.37. The net profit per tonne of corn wool produced is approximately $0.37. The daily output of corn is 100 tons, 25 days a month, 10 months a year, and the annual output is 25,000 tons. Based on a net profit of $0.37 per ton, a net profit of $9250 per year.
