Conventional Milling

Prior to the demise of South Africa's government regulated milling industry and price control in the mid 1990's, two of the industries major players, namely Tiger and Premier Milling, completed their new Pietermaritzburg site (42 tons per hour) and Vereeniging Mill extension (an additional 20 ton per hour plant) at a cost of R200 million and R155 million respectively. In current value, that would be equivalent to R545 million and R384 million respectively.

In today's competitive deregulated milling environment both of the above projects would never see the light of day; from both capital cost expenditure/return on investment perspective and the relentless rising cost of logistics.

In 2010, whether you are a major milling concern, a regional player or plan to be one soon, one has got to combine the latest global milling technology with cost effective investment in civils, material handling and plant automation. In addition, one has to create fit-for-purpose sites, ensuring longer term local availability of feedstock and lower delivery costs to market.

Talk to us today about our cost effective solutions for mill remodels and new sites at a fraction of the cost mentioned above; combining global technology with Southern African milling expertise in the 8 - 50 ton per hour range.
