Beater Blade Mill SMM

The Bauermeister Beater Blade Mill SMM is used for the grinding of products with a high fat content e.g. Cocoa nibs and Hazelnuts. The moisture content of the product is also reduced during the grinding process.

The product is fed into the grinding chamber at a controlled rate, by means of a dosing screw. High speed rotating blades break the product down to the required particle size and the high fat content ensures conversion into a pumpable mass. The fineness of the finished product is determined by the mesh size of an integral, annular sieve, through which the mass flows on its way to the exit of the mill.

The shell and base of the grinding chamber are of jacketed design, to facilitate the processing of product under controlled conditions of operation; hot or cold water is circulated, as appropriate, to maintain a constant temperature.

The maximum capacity of the mills is 3.000 kg/h, the actual rate being dependent upon the type and pre-treatment of the product, as well as its inherent characteristics and the end product fineness which is required.
