Maize
Milling
Maize,
known as Corn in North America, is one of the three principal cereal grains, with rice and
wheat, grown for human and animal consumption.
The Satake VBF
Vertical method of dry degermination was launched
six years ago, since them the
technology has completely revolutionised the processing of maize. More than 80
system have been installed in southern Africa and many more in north and south
America.
The Satake VBF system
provides superior extraction at reduced
fat levels, whilst also eliminating the
need for complex gravity separation systems to be installed after the
degermination system. The Satake VBF system produces a higher percentage of
grits and less flour. It also has the lowest
specific energy usage.
