Concept

The machine is easy to operate, easy to maintain and reasonably portable. It can be used anywhere by virtually anyone. It is also a simple matter to switch from degraining to milling by unbolting one appliance and attaching the other.The Mill function has the capacity to mill 3 lbs. per minute of any type of grain or coffee beans. The most common use is for milling yellow maize, soya beans, and other elements that make up animal feed. The Corn Degrainer for example is used postharvest and easily degrains 1200 to 1500 lbs per day.
