Grist mill for craft breweries and distilleries

Optimize your brewing and distilling efficiency with a compact, high-speed solution designed to handle various grains seamlessly, ensuring precise control over grist composition for consistent quality in every batch.

Processes and Grinds Grains for Brewing and Distilling

The Minicompact SE Grist Mill MDZE from Bühler Group is designed to optimize grinding and milling operations for craft and medium-sized breweries and distilleries. This grist mill stands out due to its two-gap function, allowing effortless adjustment of roller distances for different grain types, ensuring precise grind quality for malted and unmalted grains. With a high throughput of up to 3.2 tons per hour, it efficiently supports production scales ranging from 50 hl to 100 hl per brew, addressing the demand for consistent beer, whiskey, and other grain-based products. It integrates seamlessly into production lines with easy-to-use manual controls and operates continuously at high speeds. Its compact design minimizes operational space requirements, and the dust-tight, pressure shock-resistant construction ensures safety, protecting against dust explosions. For quality assurance, an optional sampler provides reproducible test results of crushed grains. The Minicompact SE is ideal for operations that demand flexibility and robust performance in grain processing.
