Probat UW503

• Used for grinding roasted coffee beans to various consistencies for brewing.
• Applicable in large-scale coffee roasting facilities and instant coffee production.
• Suitable for industrial food processing requiring precise particle size reduction of dry, friable materials.
• Can be integrated into production lines for spices, grains, or other similar products.

Typical capacity (coffee)

For this class of industrial roller mill, capacities commonly range from several hundred kilograms per hour for fine grinds (e.g., espresso) to over a thousand kilograms per hour for coarser grinds (e.g., filter coffee).

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V at 50Hz in the UK, often with significant power draw depending on motor size.

Cooling requirements

Industrial roller mills, especially for coffee, commonly feature water cooling systems to manage heat generated during grinding and preserve product quality.

Grinding mechanism

Probat roller mills utilise precision-engineered rollers to achieve consistent particle size reduction, which is crucial for coffee quality.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, industrial roller mills typically require a dedicated floor space, often with additional height for hoppers and discharge.

Maintenance considerations

Regular servicing, including roller calibration and bearing checks, is essential for maintaining grinding accuracy and operational efficiency.

• What is a roller mill and how does it differ from other grinders?

  A roller mill uses two or more rotating rollers to crush and grind material between them. This method typically offers more precise and consistent particle size distribution compared to impact or burr grinders, particularly for coffee.

• Why is water cooling important for this type of equipment?

• What kind of servicing might this unit require before production?

• Can this mill be used for products other than coffee?

• What are the typical safety considerations for operating a roller mill?

Food processing mills are valued for consistent particle size reduction across grain, spice and dry ingredient applications. Buyers typically prioritise motor condition, grinding chamber cleanliness and wear on grinding elements when purchasing used equipment. Industry sentiment highlights reliability and longevity as key strengths, particularly with well-maintained units. Attention should be given to throughput capacity matching production needs and compatibility with existing systems. Corrosion resistance matters for hygiene-sensitive environments. Reputable machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence in the secondary market.
