Hongdefa story with Zimbabwe for maize milling machines and wheat flour milling machines​

Zimbabwe is one of the oldest countries in Africa. It called Africa London or Africa granary. Zimbabwe is a great country with very nice people. we do business with Zimbabwe for more than 15 years for maize mill machines and wheat flour mill machines.

Zimbabwe map

Since 2006, we set up our office in Harare, our Chinese engineer is always there. In 2007, we set up a 120tons per day wheat flour mill project in Zimbabwe, and at that time we opened a bakery factory in the Msasa industry zone also. The wheat flour which is for making bread is from our flour factory. The bakery business is very good. There are long lines in the bakery every day and wait to buy the bread. Business is very good.

Zimbabwe bread

See, they use so much money, but just only buy one bread, The inflation was becoming more and more serious. The economic environment is particularly bad. So we sold our bakery factory, and move the branch office to Lusaka, Zambia. But we still always do business with Zimbabwe people.

In 2015, we visited our old customers. Our engineers train and teach them how to fix the machines to get the best quality flour.

Training in the flour milling factory

This is our oldest customers, who bought our machines in 2006 and run the machines in 2007. this customer is very famous in Harare even in Zimbabwe.

So many people buy his flour, they are from Harare, Gweru, Bulawayo even South Africa. after 5 years of development, he enlarged the business for animal feed field and rice business field.

How to Install the Maize Milling Machines And Wheat Flour Milling Machines

A milling machine is for maize milling machines and wheat flour mill machines.

Installation is the very high technology inquired by the engineers.

Factory layout

As a professional manufacturer for maize mill and wheat flour mill complete plant.

maize milling machines drawing

Wheat flour milling machine plant drawing

We have full experience in maize milling machine installation and wheat flour milling machine installation for more than 30 years.

Special in Africa, the installation was done by the Chinese engineers.

Before the maize mill plant or wheat flour milling plant arrives in the factory, we should prepare something:

1. Electricity power:
Your electricity power should be connected with the local government power lines.
And prepare the transformer as a milling machinery requirement.

installing transformer

2. Water.
It should ensure go to production warehouse. There is a pipe that will connect with the damper for supplying continuous water in the milling machine's working time.

3. Foundation:
Before doing the foundation, the ground will not be hardened. We will supply the technical foundation drawings to guide. 

Doing the foundation

4. The machine arrived:

Before the containers arriving, please prepare the forklift for the unloading machine.

Ask all the guys to do the unloading carefully according to the packing list.

Unloading milling machines

Finish the uploading, all the machines should be stock in the sealed room or warehouse.

The important is to keep all the machines safe, special for the small spare parts. 

No one can steal them.

5. Start to do the installation:
--Before it, we will send all the technical drawings to the customers. And supply more local engineers and laborers to support the installation.

When the engineers arriving at the installation site, familiarize yourself with the site environment and confirm the specific installation scope with the customer.

--Mark with a marker, check all the goods (including pipes, screws, clips, flanges, platform brackets, etc.) into categories, and compare with the list drawings to confirm clearly where they are used. Those that cannot be confirmed will be put into one category first. It is forbidden to start the installation before the completion of this work. If something is found to be incomplete, report it to the company as soon as possible. If it is not reported, the company defaults that the equipment is complete, and if it is found to be missing after installation, the engineer will find a solution, and the company will not be responsible.

--Communicate with customers well, but all the small parts on the equipment and all the bits and pieces of tools and other things out and put them in a safe place to prevent loss.

--Overall planning. Mark the exact location of the foundation with white lime or nylon thread according to the drawings, and make the foundation uniformly. It is forbidden to finish one item and wait for the cement to dry before doing the next item, which will seriously lengthen the progress of the project.

--Work arrangements are open. The responsibility of the engineer is to arrange and direct local workers to start their work reasonably. It is forbidden to immerse themselves in brutal work, regardless of local workers. The cleaning part and the powder road part should be started at the same time. First, the equipment host should be correctly positioned according to the drawings.

--The pipelines should be installed according to the wind network drawings, and should not be changed at will without special circumstances.

Let us show some photos for the installation:

If need the crane, please prepare it in advance.

Installing flour milling machines

6. After the equipment is installed, run idling continuously for more than 20 hours. Check whether the motor is rotating correctly, whether the motor and circuit are hot, whether the equipment has abnormal noise, etc., and then put the material into a trial run after confirming that it is normal.
