PhilMech conducts prototype testing of compact cornmill

The Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech) is currently conducting the prototype testing of a compact cornmill that can be easily transported and has a milling efficiency better to some units that are imported.

PhilMech Executive Director Rex Bingabing said that the cornmill developed by the agency is locally fabricated and has state-of-the-art design features that makes it more compact and more efficient than existing cornmills. The machine can help increase the consumption of corn grits in far-flung areas where there are no corn-milling facilities but where corn planting is a major activity.
