Frequently Asked Questions
A modern semolina mill project typically takes 12-18 months from contract signing to commissioning, depending on capacity. Small capacity facilities can be completed in about 12 months, while facilities over 300 tons/day can be completed within 16-18 months.
Optimum capacity is determined according to target market, raw material access, financing opportunities and investment return expectations. For integrated pasta facilities, semolina production capacity of about 110-115% of pasta capacity is generally recommended.
Although the average payback period depends on market conditions, a modern and efficient semolina mill investment generally pays for itself within 24-36 months. In integrated facilities, this period can decrease to 20-30 months.
Integrated facilities provide advantages such as raw material quality control, reduction of logistics costs, common infrastructure use, energy efficiency and full traceability. 20-25% savings can be achieved in total investment.
