Grist milling unit for breweries and distilleries

Optimize your milling process with a versatile unit capable of handling various starch sources, improving efficiency and consistency by ensuring optimal comminution for enhanced enzymatic activity and product quality.

Processes Diverse Starch Sources with Precision

The T-Rex Grist Milling Unit from Ziemann Holvrieka is an engineered-to-order solution expertly crafted for breweries and distilleries seeking to enhance their milling operations. This unit stands out due to its dual capability of dry and wet milling, accommodating a wide range of starch sources such as malt, barley, rice, and maize. Its unique design utilizes multiple disks on opposing shafts, increasing the milling zone threefold compared to conventional rollers, leveraging shear, compressive, and cutting stresses for rapid, energy-efficient processing. Ideal for producing malt grist and distilled spirits mash, the T-Rex seamlessly integrates into automated production lines with ease, offering quick disc removal for minimal downtime. Designed to suit continuous, high-speed operations, this compact unit is also retrofit-friendly, fitting seamlessly within existing systems. Its low CAPEX and OPEX contribute to cost-effectiveness, while its robust design ensures long lifecycle and reduced maintenance requirements, making it an optimal choice for industrial-scale processing.

Benefits
