Several factors influence how much a maize milling machine will cost:
Capacity / Throughput: Higher capacity (tons per day) machines cost more.
Automation: Lines with automatic cleaning, sifting, packaging are more expensive than manual or semi‑automatic ones.
Quality of Materials: Stainless steel, durable motors, high‑precision parts drive up the price.
Supplier & Brand: Reputable manufacturers or well-known brands may charge a premium for quality and support.
After‑Sales Services: Installation, commissioning, and spare part services add to cost.
Shipping & Import Costs: For international buyers, freight, tariffs, and import duties matter.
Local Infrastructure: Power supply, building space, and labor in your location can affect how complex (and costly) your setup is.
