Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of industrial roller mill coffee grinder, capacities commonly range from several hundred kilograms up to 2 tonnes per hour, depending on the desired grind size and bean type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor ratings varying based on capacity.

Grinding mechanism

Roller mills utilise precision-engineered rollers to crush and grind coffee beans, offering consistent particle size distribution.

Material construction

Components in contact with coffee beans are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene and prevent contamination.

Footprint

Industrial roller mills commonly have a significant footprint, requiring dedicated floor space within a processing facility. Dimensions vary by model and capacity.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance for roller mills includes cleaning, roller gap adjustment, and periodic replacement of wear parts such as rollers, which are included as spares with this unit.

Particle size adjustment

Units of this type typically feature adjustable roller gaps, allowing for a range of grind sizes from coarse to fine.
