Although the country grows roughly 50,000-60,000 tonnes of maize per year in the Cibao valley, domestic production covers only about 10-15% of national demand. The rest is imported, used for both human food (arepas-style maize dishes, mazamorra, cornmeal porridge) and animal feed. Local processors buy imported maize in 50 kg bags, clean it, mill it, and resell corn grits and corn flour to bakeries, tortilla shops, supermarkets, and small feed mixers.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customer in this case is a mid-sized processor based in the Dominican Republic. They run a small mill that supplies corn grits to local supermarkets and corn flour to a network of small bakeries. Their old single-machine setup produced only one product at a time, and demand for both products was forcing them to do constant changeovers that wasted 2-3 hours per shift.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why the T3 Fits the Dominican Republic Market<\/strong><\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The Taizy T3 <a href=\"https:\/\/taizyagromachine.com\/am\/product\/maize-grits-milling-machine\/\">maize grits and corn flour machine<\/a> is designed for operations that need both grits and flour from a single pass. Three design points drove the decision for this customer.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Dual output in one machine.<\/strong> The T3&#8217;s internal screen system separates the milled maize into grits (coarse fraction) and flour (fine fraction) without the operator having to re-feed material through a second machine. For a customer who sells both products daily, this halves the changeover time.<\/li>    <li><strong>300-400 kg\/h real capacity.<\/strong> In the customer&#8217;s old setup, a single-pass machine produced about 180-220 kg\/h of grits only. The T3 produces the same output volume but delivers both grits and flour in that range, effectively doubling usable product per hour.<\/li>    <li><strong>Compact footprint.<\/strong> At 1400\u00d72300\u00d71300 mm, the T3 fits through a standard 1.5 m door and occupies roughly 3.2 m\u00b2 of floor space including the infeed hopper. Two units side by side need about 7 m\u00b2, leaving the rest of the workshop for cleaning, bagging, and storage.<\/li> <\/ul>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/taizyagromachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corn-grits-processing-plant.webp\" alt=\"\u12e8\u1260\u1246\u120e \u130d\u122a\u1276\u127d \u121b\u1240\u1290\u1263\u1260\u122a\u12eb \u1270\u12ad\u120d\" class=\"wp-image-5625\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u12e8\u1260\u1246\u120e \u130d\u122a\u1276\u127d \u121b\u1240\u1290\u1263\u1260\u122a\u12eb \u1270\u12ad\u120d<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Maize Grits and Flour Machine Specifications (As Shipped)<\/strong><\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>\u1218\u1208\u12aa\u12eb<\/th><th>\u12dd\u122d\u12dd\u122d \u1218\u130d\u1208\u132b<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\u121e\u12f4\u120d<\/td><td>Taizy T3 Maize Grits &amp; Corn Flour Machine<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quantity ordered<\/td><td>2 sets (parallel production)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Main motor power<\/td><td>7.5 kW<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Auxiliary unit power<\/td><td>4 kW<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total installed power (per set)<\/td><td>11.5 kW<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Capacity (maize)<\/td><td>300-400 kg\/h<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Output products<\/td><td>Corn grits  + Corn flour<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u12e8\u12a5\u130d\u122d \u12a0\u123b\u122b<\/td><td>1400 \u00d7 2300 \u00d7 1300 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u12e8\u1270\u1323\u122b \u12ad\u1265\u12f0\u1275<\/td><td>680 kg per set<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u12e8\u1283\u12ed\u120d \u12a0\u1245\u122d\u1266\u1275<\/td><td>3-phase 380V \/ 50Hz (with transformer for 110V markets on request)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Operator requirement<\/td><td>1-2 workers per shift<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">T3 spec sheet as shipped to the Dominican Republic customer<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dominican Republic uses 110V\/60Hz single-phase and 220V\/60Hz three-phase power in different regions.
