Milling Machine

Applications & Use Cases

• Grinding grains into flour for bakeries and food manufacturers.
• Milling spices and herbs to produce powdered ingredients for seasoning blends.
• Processing coffee beans into various grind sizes for the beverage industry.
• Reducing particle size of nuts and seeds for pastes, oils, or inclusions.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 50 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on the material and desired fineness.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a used milling machine can vary significantly, but typically requires dedicated floor space, often between 1.5m x 1.5m and 3m x 3m, plus access for maintenance.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel for contact parts to meet food hygiene standards, with mild steel for non-contact structural components.

Milling mechanism

Common milling mechanisms include hammer mills, disc mills, or roller mills, each suited to different material characteristics and desired particle sizes.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves checking and replacing wear parts such as screens, hammers, or grinding discs, along with bearing lubrication and motor inspection.
