Grist mill for craft and small breweries
For breweries seeking precision grinding, this compact grist mill excels in milling malt and barley into perfect texture for efficient brewing, optimizing space without sacrificing performance.

Grinds and Separates Malt for Brewing
The Smartgrist Grist Mill from Bühler Group is a versatile roller mill designed for small to industrial breweries focusing on efficient malt and barley preparation. Its compact design integrates seamlessly into your facility, utilizing tempered titanium rollers to ensure gentle grinding and preserve husk integrity. The mill supports continuous operations and is equipped with optional additional hoppers to manage up to 150 liters, catering to various batch sizes. Ideal for producing malted barley flour, brewers malt, and wort, it operates with precision, offering sampling options for quality control. This equipment is particularly effective in small-scale operations but robust enough for industrial applications. With a pressure shock resistance of up to 0.5 bar, it assures operational safety and integrates easily within existing brewing lines, enabling either direct or indirect mashing processes. The Smartgrist mill also features safety enhancements, such as a permanent magnet to prevent metal contamination, ensuring product safety and equipment longevity.
