PINGLE is responsible for the supply, installation, training, technical information, and design, fabrication, and installation of the maize milling machines.
The maize milling machine has the advantages of novel structure, uniform discharge, low noise, good stability, easy operation, and convenient maintenance. The machine can process shelled maize into maize grits, maize grits, and maize flour.
High performance: With powerful motors and optimized gearboxes, our machines can process large quantities of corn quickly and efficiently
Portability: Our machines are lightweight and easy to transport, suitable for use in remote areas with limited infrastructure
Convenience: The integrated conveyor system and automatic cleaning function make loading and unloading the machine easy, reducing the workload of the operator
Safety features: Our machines are designed with safety in mind, with guards and other features to prevent accidental injuries during operation.
Maize milling or corn flour grinding involves processing corn into a flour product that is safe to eat. Pre-treatment before milling usually involves cleaning the maize to remove dust and other particles, soaking the maize in water to make it wet, and then placing it in a box for a period of time.
Cleaning and conditioning
The removal of impurities and particles that are not part of the maize kernel is crucial as it contributes to the quality of the final product. Impurities removed in this process include dust particles, husks, straw, sand, and all other particles that may be lighter, smaller, or larger than corn kernels.
The process also involves the removal of toxic seeds and other materials that may cause damage to the milling equipment, such as stones and metals. Conditioning involves adding moisture so that the maize is smoothly stripped of its bran, and the use of drum or plate mills in the milling process, thus permitting sieving and easy separation, designed to produce more mass for the meal.
Corn/maize flour milling
Once the cleaning and conditioning process is complete, grinding can begin, and grinding can take several forms:
Hammer milling maize is the least costly option and is best suited for rural use. Hammer milling involves grinding the maize and hammering it through holes to form an undefined category closely related to sieved maize meal. Maize meal is considered below trade standards because all the germ, endosperm and bran are hammered and ground. The resulting flour has a short shelf life because the germ rots quickly after milling and contains a large amount of powder, leading to moisture adsorption and rapid release of moisture on cooling, which can sour the porridge. The porridge may also turn yellow and may lead to bloating.
Maize can also be polished or de-embryonized with a 1.6 mm hippo hammer prior to milling to provide a good quality special sieve flour. Degerming at a rate of 3, 2, 0.5 tons per hour is necessary to obtain satisfactory maize flour. A degerming or polishing machine will effectively separate the germ, bran and endosperm. This can be accomplished by using a hammer mill, drum or plate mill.

The maize flour business is indeed a very good business in Zambia.
Since maize flour is the main ingredient in making the local delicacy, Nhima, it is a basic necessity in both rural and urban areas. The local people used to boil the cornmeal into a very thick corn paste, locally known as nhima, and make a soup with freshwater sardines, then grab the nhima and dip it into the soup and eat it. "Nhima is so delicious in Zambia that it is sometimes served at banquets.
But in Zambia, the manufacturing industry is relatively backward, before independence, industrial manufactured goods are basically dependent on imports, after independence, the government actively develops the state-owned manufacturing industry, after the democratization of the ruling party, the manufacturing industry privatization, after 1998, the manufacturing industry is developing rapidly, to the maize processing processing plant brought more and more opportunities for development.
This maize milling machine crushes maize at one time, and also crushes brown rice and bran into fine bran, the milling machine can be used independently, in addition to fine crushing of bran can also be crushed many kinds of feed maize, wheat, beans and so on.
PINGLE can provide the overall layout of the plant according to the size of the land area and different customers, the whole plant of corn processing machinery includes weighbridge, silo, steel structure workshop of flour mill, flour warehouse and so on.

Geographical Distribution:
Maize milling plants are usually located in major agricultural areas where maize is more commonly grown, such as Copperbelt, Eastern and Central provinces.<
