Namibia’s staple crop mahangu (pearl millet) requires specialized crushing machinery to transform raw grains into flour or animal feed. Modern mahangu crushers combine hammer milling and sieving technologies to achieve 80-300 kg/h throughput with 90%+ flour extraction rates.
| Model | Power | Capacity | Sieve Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC-200 | 7.5kW electric/15HP diesel | 200kg/h | 0.8-2.0mm |
| MC-500 | 11kW electric/22HP diesel | 500kg/h | 0.6-3.0mm |
| MC-1000 | 18.5kW electric/30HP diesel | 1ton/h | Customizable |
1. Pre-cleaning conveyor (removes husks/stones)
2. Dual-stage hammer mill (primary crushing + fine grinding)
3. Cyclone separator (flour collection)
4. Vibrating sieve (particle size control)
5. Packaging system
Q: What maintenance does the machine require?
A: Monthly bearing lubrication, biannual hammer replacement, and daily sieve inspection.
Q: Can it process other grains?
A: Yes, with sieve adjustments – suitable for maize, sorghum and wheat.
Q: What’s the typical ROI period?
A: 12-18 months for commercial operations processing 5+ tons daily.
Installed MC-1000 system with:
– 30% increased output vs traditional mortar milling
– 15% finer flour consistency
– Reduced labor costs by 60%
Now supplies 12 local schools with fortified mahangu flour monthly.
For optimal performance, pair crushers with destoners and moisture regulators to handle Namibia’s variable grain
