Processes
Product input
This is a universal machine. The initial product used during processing can be dry, soft, medium-hard, elastic, or even contain water, fat, oil and fiber.
Food mill, powerful and fast
Rotary mills are ideal for pre-grinding and fine grinding of soft to medium-hard, brittle, fibrous and temperature-sensitive products in a variety of industries. The product is crushed at high speed under the influence of impact and shear forces. The particle size of the product after processing depends on the selected sieve. Different sieve inserts are available for different products.
