MAIZE MILLING MADE SIMPLER AND MORE AFFORDABLE
SP-1 Maize Mill
Specially designed for start-ups by Roff Milling, the SP-1 Maize Mill can be installed quickly and easily, requires minimal training to operate and low start-up cost to produce high-quality maize meal. It is made expressly for small to medium mill operations, small farming communities and entrepreneurs in Africa who won’t compromise on reliability or quality.
A complete mill
The SP-1 Milling Plant includes all the essential features and steps required to easily produce high-quality maize meal for ultimate profitability. You can produce high-quality, packed maize meal in four steps, namely cleaning, conditioning, degermination (optional) and milling. The Roff SP-1 milling plant is everything you need for an affordable business start-up that will help drive your success in the maize milling industry. The installation, commissioning and training of the mill can be completed in only 2 to 3 weeks, allowing you to start your milling journey in record time. It was designed with growth in mind and can easily be expanded on at any time with a range of optional extras.
Extraction rates
69% - 74% for Super or Grade 1 maize meal
82 - 84% for Special or Grade 2 maize meal
The SP-1 is the leading entry-level, 1 ton milling plant offering unmatched extraction rates of up to 84%* at the lowest cost. Depending on configuration, the SP-1 can mill up to 540 tons of maize per month.
*Maize quality dependent
**Country dependent
Easy to operate and quick to install
A supervisor, without previous experience, can be trained in just one week to get the mill up-and-running and keep it running at its peak.
You can run your SP-1 mill for 24 hours a day, minimising labour costs while maximising profitability.
What our clients say
The product that we are getting out of the R-70 is a phenomenal product that speaks for itself. We are competing with products made with European machinery and our customers are still buying our product. The R-70 is a winner in our book – we started off with one, today we own five of these machines.
The Roff machine is what gives us an edge in the market. It gives us exactly what the customer wants.
We chose a company close enough to us so that we could do research and development work together. We recognise Roff as a strategic partner that supplies the high quality equipment, support and R&D work whenever we want to do something new. It’s a successful partnership in our opinion.
I bought the Roff R-70 Mill because of Roff’s trusted reputation in the industry. When you buy a mill, you can import one which is risky, so I decided to rather choose a local company with the view of building a longstanding relationship with them.
