THE FLEXIBLE COMMERCIAL SYSTEM
C-80 Maize Mill
Roff’s C-80 Maize Mill enables you to process 5 tons of maize per hour. Sophisticated computer systems allow you to monitor and review capacity and extraction rates in real-time, and adjust settings as needed. Complete control means less downtime, more productivity, and more profits. The C-80 is also versatile, capable of producing two grades of maize meal, or as a grit plant.
Think compact, efficient design housed in multi-story frames featuring dust extraction and an offal collection line, and a milling capacity that will enable you to achieve success.
Extraction rates
The C-80 ensures an extraction rate of between 70% and 74% in South Africa – well above the industry norm of 65% - 70%*.
*Maize quality dependent
**Country dependent
Save on civil costs and turnaround time with the C-80
With a footprint of 20m (l) x 10m (w) x 10m (h), the C-80 is compact and economic without any special structures or buildings required.
In most cases an existing warehouse can be repurposed, as long as the roof is at least 11 metres high, directly above the milling area. Standard industrial concrete floors are sufficient; no special flooring is required.
