How to start a maize flour milling plant?

1.Choosing suitable location for the maize milling plant

The initial and critical step in setting up a maize milling plant is choosing the right location. The maize mill should be located in such a way that it close to your raw grain to buy land and close to your sales market for maize meal. Because corn must be transported to the mill and the milled product brought to food makers, pet producers, and other industries, it should also be at the most proximate position to where corn farmers, traders, suppliers and end users are. This will save the transportation costs and make it easier for you to sell maize flour machine.

2.Thinking about the business strategy

You also need to think about the business strategy. if you purchase from farmers then sell the maize flour at market, it requires not just for networks both with the maize growers and the flour buyers, but also well planned warehouses that are adequate to storage of both maize and flour. You also should consider a stable corn supply. If you want to run all year round, consider establishing a good relationship with farmers or maize suppliers, then you will get good maize prices.

3.Investment needs of a corn mill

A corn flour milling plant could refer to a simple grinding process or a complex production that involves more sophisticated processes and equipment like roller mills, sifters, and aspirators. In the latter scenario, a mill owner would also have to provide facilities for drying, and storage, and offices for sales, display and exhibits. Translated, starting a corn mill could involve large capital to purchase or rent property, build structures and buy equipment. It would also involve a considerable payback period even for a small operation. It means a corn mill owner would have enough money to continue paying employees and funding day-to-day production until the mill generates enough to register a profit.

4.The process of corn milling

Each miller employs a variation to the basic method, but generally, a dry corn milling process could be one of three processes: milling of corn that removes little of the hull and germ; one that tempers the corn with moisture; another that involves cooking in lime. The products of the milling are grits, meals, and flour. More than 60 percent of the corn becomes the prime products and more than 30 percent becomes horminy feed and bran products. Depending on their quality, milled corn are used to make breakfast cereals, snack foods, corn flakes, brewer grits, corn bread, bakery mixes, corn cones, and coatings.

5. Corn miller's routine

An operator's routine at the mill will involve pre-milling, milling and post-milling tasks. At the start of the day, the mill operator checks whether the machineries are ready to operate; and put corrective actions to get it into working gear. Then when everything is ready the miller proceeds with the grinding and, afterwards, bagging process, all the while vigilant that the operation is well. At the end of the day, the miller cleans the mill and secures the machinery and building.
