15TPD complete rice milling line has recently empowered a young Malawian entrepreneur to transform his rice trading business into a full-scale processing venture. Located in Lilongwe, Malawi, the customer wanted greater control over rice quality and supply.
By investing in this fully automated rice milling unit, he successfully built a compact, high-efficiency processing line that now handles 15 tons of paddy rice per day—marking a significant milestone in his journey from rice reseller to processor.
Antecedentes del cliente
The customer, based in Lilongwe, previously worked in rice distribution but often faced quality control issues due to relying on third-party millers. Seeing the opportunity to upgrade and localize production, he decided to invest in his own rice milling facility — starting at a manageable yet scalable capacity of 15 tons per day.
After several rounds of technical consultation and budget analysis, the 15TPD complete rice milling line was chosen for its automation level, space-efficient layout, and proven performance across African markets.
