- Typical throughput
- For this class of industrial grinder, throughput typically ranges from 100 kg/hour to over 500 kg/hour, depending on the desired grind fineness.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a three-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power ratings.
- Grind fineness
- Industrial coffee grinders typically offer adjustable grind settings, from coarse for French press to very fine for espresso or Turkish coffee.
- Construction material
- Components in contact with coffee beans are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene and prevent flavour contamination.
- Feeding mechanism
- Units typically feature a hopper for batch feeding, often with an auger or vibratory feeder to ensure a consistent flow of beans.
- Cooling system
- High-volume industrial grinders commonly incorporate cooling systems to prevent heat build-up during grinding, which can affect coffee quality.
