A new Moroccan flour mill installation by Alapala

28 June 2020

Alapala recently completed the installation of the newest flour mill reference in Africa for Mazagan Flour Mills Company in January 2020, as also its third turn-key flour mill project in Morocco. Mazagan Flour Mills is a family-owned company and in a long time business partnership with Alapala. They are today active with a total of 900-ton wheat processing capacity in two locations, as the new mill is located near one of their existing plant in the El Jadida region.

The plant has a 300 TPD capacity processing local semi-hard wheat and produces three different types of bakery flour for mainly domestic consumption. The mill is installed in a completely new 6 floors concrete building, which is also designed and constructed in conformity with high sanitation standards.

The mill has equipped with the latest Alapala technology consisting of Similago II roller mills (DAVG), Quadro Plansifters with larger sieve boxes (GPAK) and control sifters (RKEM). An optical sorter is also used in the plant for very fine cleaning of wheat before milling, to ensure the highest level of food safety is achieved.

The plant operates efficiently with an advanced automation system, that allows the centralized monitoring and management of the complete cleaning, milling and packaging processes. The system enables generating detailed production reports, with also real-time error diagnosis and long-distance connection functions.
