Pulverizer for fine grinding applications
Achieve optimal particle size distribution and enhance throughput with this advanced pulverizer, designed for continuous high-speed operations across diverse materials from grains to alternative proteins. Perfect for producers focused on efficiency and fine granulation.

Grinds and Pulverizes Diverse Materials Efficiently
The Pulverex™ 5 Series from Bühler is a robust hybrid machine combining the strengths of a hammer mill and a pulverizer. Designed for heavy-duty applications, it efficiently grinds and pulverizes various materials, including grains, spices, and biomass, into consistent particle sizes. Its production process features a large screen area and double impact plates that enhance capacity while ensuring fine granulation. Capable of processing a wide range of products such as poultry feed, rice flour, and lithium-ion battery components, it supports high throughput demands, ideal for food processors and biomass companies.
With a hybrid design, the Pulverex 5 Series maximizes energy efficiency, consuming less power than traditional pulverizers, thanks to an optimized tip speed and air-swept mechanism. It seamlessly integrates into any production line with PLC control for comprehensive automation and remote monitoring. Constructed from abrasion-resistant materials, it promises longevity and minimal maintenance disruptions. For easy cleaning, the equipment provides fast access to wear parts, ensuring minimal downtime. Furthermore, Bühler offers customization options, including variable rotor speeds, to tailor performance to specific operational requirements.
