DESIGNED FOR RURAL PRODUCTIVITY
Posho Maize Mill
Roff's innovative Posho Mill is expertly designed for successful service or community milling. Community millers charge a service fee to mill maize for community members into maize meal, which is why it is known as community, service or Posho milling. Join the ranks of entrepreneurs providing an invaluable service to their local communities while generating a profitable income. The Posho Mill is the easiest way to produce quality maize meal with its durable, compact design, simplified roller milling technology and hard work ethic.
Low energy, high output
Requiring only 9.5kW of power, the Posho has an extraction capability of 82 to 85%. This translates to 750kg per hour of which 612 - 637kg is maize meal per hour; the rest is bran.
The ideal compact maize mill for community milling
The Posho is compact enough to be installed almost anywhere. Thanks to its small footprint of only 2m x 1m, it can be set up in a small building such as a single garage.
What our clients say
If customers can get their maize meal cheaper anywhere else, they will go for it. Our meal is a lot more affordable than the pre-packed products.
Maize is the basic food that every household has in this country at any given time. Without it, people are facing terrible hunger.
Today Roff has all these different kinds of machines, from hammer mills to big milling plants that can be up-scaled. I’d recommend that anyone who considers going into milling speak to Roff. Roff helped me, and they will take care of you.
