Design Specifications

The Containerized Maize Mill is made from two vertically-stacked containers. The product is built to be able to hold about 20 to 30 tons of grain at a time under silo conditions with aeration and fumigation systems and bulk handling in one portion. For storage, grain is dumped either in bulk from trucks or from bags into a triangular reception bin and is conveyed by means of a bucket elevator or vertical screw conveyor to the top of the stacked silos and from there conveyed by horizontal auger to the storage section. The milling section is in the other portion of the containerized mill. To mill, stored grain is conveyed by horizontal auger to the vertical auger or bucket elevator to the top of the stacked containers and by horizontal conveyor past the storage section into the milling section’s grain cleaner where the small grains are separated from the good quality grain and then dampened or otherwise processed. For maize and wheat, a first-in-first-out bin is used for the dampening and conditioning.
