CLASS-LEADING PROFITABILITY
R-70 Maize Mill
The R-70 compact, all-in-one mill is a true reflection of Roff’s commitment to building simple, high-quality milling machines that surpass the competition. It's ideal for entrepreneurs aiming to enter the maize meal market with a milling capacity of up to 120 tons of maize per day. Imagine a compact, efficient design housed in multi-story frames featuring dust extraction and an offal collection line. Simply provide a building, water, and an electrical supply, and you're set to go. What's more, its compact layout also makes monitoring during operations and maintenance a breeze.
Extraction rates
The R-70 Maize Milling Plant is built using proven equipment (MK-6 platform), guaranteeing exceptional performance. It ensures an extraction rate between 70% and 74%* (Super/Grade 1), which significantly exceeds the industry norm of 65% - 70% (Super/Grade 1)**.
*Maize quality dependent
**Country dependent
Save on civil costs and turnaround time with the R-70
With a footprint of only 14m x 9m, the R-70 is compact and economical without requiring any special structures or builds. In most cases, an existing warehouse can be repurposed, as long as the roof is at least 10 metres high directly above the milling area. Standard industrial concrete floors are sufficient; no special flooring is required.
What our clients have to say
The product that we are getting out of the R-70 is a phenomenal product that speaks for itself. We are competing with products made with European machinery and our customers are still buying our product. The R-70 is a winner in our book – we started off with one, today we own five of these machines.
The Roff machine is what gives us an edge in the market. It gives us exactly what the customer wants.
We chose a company close enough to us so that we could do research and development work together. We recognise Roff as a strategic partner that supplies the high quality equipment, support and R&D work whenever we want to do something new. It’s a successful partnership in our opinion.
I bought the Roff R-70 Mill because of Roff’s trusted reputation in the industry. When you buy a mill, you can import one which is risky, so I decided to rather choose a local company with the view of building a longstanding relationship with them.
I’ve always believed that I can only run as far and as fast as my service provider allows me to run… and that’s what Roff has done: allowed us to run as fast as we can.

Double conditioning results in higher moisture in the final product. While single conditioning is acceptable for quality purposes, less moisture in your final product will negatively impact weight, which in turn negatively impacts your bottom line.

Maintenance made easy
Visits can be scheduled with qualified Roff technicians for regular maintenance. The R-70’s built-in maintenance floors make maintenance a breeze by providing technicians with enough space and easy access to different sections of the mill.
