Three grain types of two varieties each for maize, soybean and guinea corn where processed using four types of blending blades: horizontal-vertical blade, 4-blade, 2-blade and wheel blade assemblies. The result obtained showed that horizontal-vertical blade assembly had the highest blending efficiency of 78.23% on dehulled white maize while the wheel blade assembly had the least blending efficiency of 09.32% on dehulled yellow maize (pop corn).
