Humans have been creative in finding new ways to reduce the particle size of food products. Food milling is a process of reducing the average particle size of the food product to a smaller average particle size. You need this process to achieve the ultimate texture and tasting experience or to make scrapped batches ready for rework. Either way, you need proper technology depending on the type of food, the hardness or density of the food, moisture content, and particle size you would like to achieve. Food milling equipment ranges from crushers, shredders, and granulators, to hammer, ball, and pin mills, air classifier or jet mills, and colloid and corundum mills.

Select the right food milling equipment for your product! - from hammer mills to ball mills

The complexity of food milling applications varies significantly depending on the food properties, such as hardness, various size ranges, and, most importantly, the desired characteristics of your food product. The crushers and hammer mills are often utilized for the pre-crushing of press cakes or grinding sugar and salts. With impact mills, you can adjust the fineness levels when you are fine-grinding different spices and seeds

Air classifying mills or jet mills is suitable for ultra-fine grinding to create ground spices like chili powder and cinnamon powder. Air classifiers or fine impact mills are best to reduce the particle size of your cereal products, including wheat, corn starch proteins, and protein derivatives (wheat, potato, or soy).

If your product in involving milling sugar and sugar-based recipes, cocoa liquor, and cocoa nibs, you need a particular technology. Ball mill or roller mill technologies can be employed in refining the chocolates as they can grind to the sub-micron levels. Also, coffee beans require a particular grinding technology – varying from traditional mortar grinding to stone, hammer, or roller mills. And if you are trying to reduce the particle size of a solid in suspension in a liquid, you may benefit from colloid or corundum milling technologies.

How do you maintain these food milling machines? - hygiene and safety first!

When you are milling food, strict hygiene and easy cleaning of the equipment is top of mind. Also, safety is a concern both from a general industrial operation perspective and the particular explosion risks that come from working with some foods. You will also need to take into account your expectation in terms of throughput and maintenance.
