Laboratory grain milling system

Achieve precise grain milling and sample preparation with high-speed capability and gentle treatment, optimizing both yield and product quality for flour, semolina, and bran production.

Mills and Processes High-Moisture Grains

The Quadrumat Senior from Brabender is an essential laboratory grain milling machine designed for precision and versatility. It uniquely combines two 4-roller units for whole grain and meal/semolina release, enabling gentle milling with profile-ground rollers. This machine efficiently processes high-moisture grains, yielding products like wheat flour, semolina, and bran flakes with a throughput of 8–10 kg per hour. Ideal for food processing companies and agricultural research institutions, it supports seamless integration into laboratory and processing environments. Additionally, the Quadrumat Senior features a self-emptying sifter for simplified operation and maintenance, enhancing productivity. For increased efficiency, the unit can connect to the Brabender Bran Duster, boosting ash content and yield by approximately 5%. Available with material options to suit diverse operational demands, this equipment ensures compliance with standard industry practices and streamlined customization options.
