MACHINES THAT DRIVE SUCCESS
The R-70 compact, all-in-one mill is a true reflection of Roff’s commitment to building simple, high-quality milling machines that surpass the competition. It's ideal for entrepreneurs aiming to enter the maize meal market with a milling capacity of up to 120 tons of maize per day. Imagine a compact, efficient design housed in multi-story frames featuring dust extraction and an offal collection line. Simply provide a building, water, and an electrical supply, and you're set to go. What's more, its compact layout also makes monitoring during operations and maintenance a breeze.
The R-70 Maize Milling Plant is built using proven equipment (MK-6 platform), guaranteeing exceptional performance. It ensures an extraction rate between 70% and 74%* (Super/Grade 1), which significantly exceeds the industry norm of 65% - 70% (Super/Grade 1)**.

When maize price volatility threatened Idlani's bottom line, they made a decision that changed their business: investing in a Roff milling plant. In this testimonial, Director Johan Pietersen and Joshua Pietersen share why they chose Roff Milling.
With a footprint of only 14m x 9m, the R-70 is compact and economical without requiring any special structures or builds. In most cases, an existing warehouse can be repurposed, as long as the roof is at least 10 metres high directly above the milling area. Standard industrial concrete floors are sufficient; no special flooring is required.
This includes the mill, final product bins, electrical panels, installation, commissioning, training and delivery.
Chris shares why he chose Roff, how the team walked him through the entire milling process from scratch, why he calls the R-70 a "forgiving" machine ideal for first-time millers, and why Roff's aftermarket service earns "ten out of ten" in his book.
Roff offers a turnkey solution that includes the mill, final product bins, panels, electrical installation and commissioning, training and and delivery.
Turnaround time is estimated at 3 to 6 months from order. The installation can be completed within 3 to 4 weeks.
You have the option to switch between first and second grade maize meal.
The simplicity of the system makes it easy to use and no formal training is required to operate the system. In most cases an operator can be trained in a week on the operation of the essential processes.
Double conditioning results in higher moisture in the final product. While single conditioning is acceptable for quality purposes, less moisture in your final product will negatively impact weight, which in turn negatively impacts your bottom line.
Visits can be scheduled with qualified Roff technicians for regular maintenance. The R-70’s built-in maintenance floors make maintenance a breeze by providing technicians with enough space and easy access to different sections of the mill.
“A lot of people said, ‘you won’t make it.’” Today, Kamunu Milling in Katima Mulilo, Namibia runs 24/7 and—by the owner’s own words—holds 80% of the market. The difference? Backed by Roff’s SP-1 mills and now the R-70, plus service that keeps them running as fast as they can.

Buffalo Millers owner Evans Killy shares his incredible journey of scaling milling capacity from a small 20-ton startup to a massive 200-ton-per-day operation. By investing in the right commercial milling equipment, Evans transformed a childhood dream into a market-leading reality.
If you require a mill with a different capacity, consider the Roff R-40 or C-80 models, capable of processing 2 to 3 tons per hour and 4 to 5 tons per hour, respectively.
In the market for something smaller? Have a look at the SP-1 with a capacity of 650kg - 1 ton per hour. All models produce maize meal of exceptional quality, achieving Roff's best-in-class extraction rates.
