The foreign materials that are got rid off in this process include dust particles, husks, straw, sand and all the other particles that may be lighter small or bigger than the kernel.

The process also involves the removal of toxic seeds and other materials that may cause harm to the milling gear such as stones and metal. Conditioning refers to adding up of moisture to allow the maize the smooth peeling off of the bran the use of roller or plate mills during milling thereby allowing a sifter and easy separation, meant to generate more mass for the meal.

• Maize / Corn Flour Milling

After the cleaning and conditioning process, milling can begin and can take several forms:

Hammer milled maize is the lowest cost option and is most suitable for rural application. Hammering involves grounding up and hammering maize through the aperture for an undefined class closely associated with sifted maize meal. The maize meal is considered inferior to trade because all the germ, endosperm and bran are hammered and ground up through the process The resulting meal; has a diminutive shelf life because of the fast rancidity of the germ after milling, contains a lot of powder which leads in moisture adsorption and quick release of the moisture when cold which turns the porridge sour. Porridge is also likely to turn yellowish and may lead to a bloated stomach. (You may also interested in: Mini Wheat Flour Mill Plant)
