Mobile Maize Shelling & Milling Service

A trailer-mounted thresher and mill package that lets an entrepreneur offer shelling and milling as a paid service to smallholder villages.

The challenge

Hand-shelling maize takes smallholder families days after every harvest, and village grain mills are often far away. A service provider needs equipment that runs without grid power and moves between villages.

Our solution

A diesel-driven multi-crop thresher shells maize, sorghum and millet at up to 3 t/h, while a diesel hammer mill turns grain into flour or animal-feed meal on the spot. Both fit on a small trailer pulled by a 25 hp+ tractor.

Process flow

Tow the trailer to the village collection point.
Shell cobs through the multi-crop thresher; cobs and chaff are ejected separately.
Optionally mill shelled grain into flour or meal.
Charge per bag shelled or milled.
