Background
A leading Kenyan flour mill were fortunate to see the Rotaflex Mill Spout Cleaning System in action at the IOAM exhibition in Morocco.
The Problem
With High humidity the Kenyan flour mill was experiencing caked flour within the mill spouts which would then cause chokes throughout the whole mill thus leading to increased infestation due to the high humidity resulting in a loss to both productivity and revenue. The mill had been using traditional brushes and pull throughs to previously unblock the pipes plus fumigant which could not penetrate the blockages or thick scale.

The Solution and Benefits
The flour mill was looking for a better method of quickly cleaning and unblocking their mill spouts to eradicate mould and infestation which minimised the efficacy of the fumigation process.. Having seen the Rotaflex machine in action at IAOM exhibition the mill ordered a Rotaflex kit which was shipped to them in Kenya. The flour mill was able to unblock and descale the spouts within a few hours, without dismantling and often did not require as much use of fumigation chemicals.
