I have amalgamated some information from the Greenstone website as a pdf document. Although this document is from 1984 the processes and equipment are still relevant.

The full document can be downloaded from here:

Hand maize shellers can be purchased from:

I have also attached details of how to make a very simple wooden manual maize sheller. The wood must be hardwood. It is effective and can be made at very low cost:
