Flour Mill Questions, Answered by an Engineer

There is no honest single number — land and civil work vary too much by site. But the machinery side you can budget today: roller mill bodies from PKR 10 lac each (from 16 lac with Pakistani rolls, from 25 lac with imported rolls), plansifter from 18 lac, wheat washer from 25 lac, scourer from 8 lac, cleaning section quoted as a package. Add motors, electricals, power connection, building and working capital. WhatsApp your target capacity (TPD) and we send an itemized estimate. Full breakdown on our Turnkey Projects page.

Up to 78–80% extraction achieved at client mills on Punjab wheat. Note the wording: achieved, not guaranteed — extraction depends on your wheat quality, cleaning section and roll condition as much as the machines. What we do promise is a flow sheet and machinery capable of those numbers, because our client mills have reached them.

Depends on total connected load. Roughly: a ~100 TPD mill draws ~400 kW and runs on a B2 connection (up to 500 kW, 400 V); ~160 TPD draws ~630 kW and needs B3 (above 500 kW, 11 kV); ~250 TPD draws ~1000 kW — B3 at 11 kV with a dedicated transformer. Each roller body takes a 10–30 HP motor (7.5–22 kW); cleaning machines, plansifter and aspiration add the rest. B3 applications and transformers take months — apply at project start, not at machinery delivery. In turnkey projects we start this paperwork with you at contract signing.

Fabrication from 10 days. The confirmed date is given at order against current workshop load. For full mills, machines fabricate in parallel with your civil works, so machinery is rarely the critical path.

50% advance at order · 50% before dispatch (ex-works Gujrat) / before shipment (FOB Karachi). Domestic supply is ex-works Gujrat; export is FOB Karachi, quoted in USD with 30-day validity. Every quote states these terms in writing.

The buyer, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Domestic: ex-works Gujrat — transport at buyer's cost and risk. Export: we deliver FOB Karachi (machine loaded on vessel); ocean freight, insurance and destination charges are the buyer's side. We can recommend transporters we trust and provide packing lists and weights for your forwarder.

No — motors are always separate, and we say so on every page and every quote. Roller mills take 10, 15, 20 or 30 HP motors, fitted on request. This keeps our published prices honest and lets you choose the motor brand and source you prefer.

Two warranties, split by geography, both in writing on the quote. Pakistan: 12-month warranty — parts & on-site servicing, all machines. Export: 12-month parts warranty + remote commissioning support; on-site service visits available.

Yes — spares and roll re-fluting are a standing service, quoted on request. Fluted rolls dull with tonnage; re-fluting restores the grind and protects your extraction for a fraction of a new roll's cost. Mills we built 20 years ago still send us rolls.

No. We build industrial roller flour mills for mills of 50+ TPD. No domestic chakkis, no 12-inch or 18-inch stone machines, no home units. If that is what you need, a local chakki maker will serve you better — we would rather tell you now than waste your time.

A mill that grinds wheat between pairs of rotating steel rolls instead of stones. Wheat passes through a sequence of roll pairs — break passages open the grain, reduction passages grind the semolina to flour — with sifting between each pass. This "gradual reduction" gives higher extraction, cooler and cleaner flour, and consistent quality at industrial scale. It is the standard worldwide for any serious wheat mill.

Chilled rolls are hard, fluted (grooved) rolls used on break passages — they shear the wheat open and scrape endosperm from bran. Soft rolls are smooth, used on reduction passages — they grind semolina down to flour. A working mill needs both, in the right sequence. The SH-RM40 is supplied with either, specified per body against your flow sheet.

In flow order: separator removes straw and dust → destoner removes stones → scourer scrubs the grain surface → washer/conditioner adds and tempers moisture → break roller mills open the wheat → plansifter grades the stock → reduction roller mills grind semolina to flour → repeat sift-and-grind over several passages → flour, fine atta, suji and bran leave by separate spouts → packing. Aspiration pulls dust throughout. Every machine in that chain is on our Plant Equipment page.

No — every machine we sell is newly fabricated in our own workshop. If you are weighing a used line from the market, send us photos and we will tell you honestly what it is worth and what re-fluting or repair it needs. Often the arithmetic favours new: fabrication from 10 days, 12-month warranty, and rolls with full life in them.

We sell the machinery and we build new mills turnkey (Pakistan only); we do not broker existing mills for sale. If you are buying an existing mill, we offer inspection and valuation of its machinery before you commit. If you are starting fresh, begin at our Turnkey Projects page.
