Food Processing
Size Reduction Equipment in Food Processing
The food processing industry relies on size reduction equipment for countless applications. At Pulva, we provide businesses worldwide with industrial grain grinders, hammer mills and food pulverizers for manufacturing numerous food products.
Milling in the Food Processing Industry
Milling transforms raw materials into small particulates or powders. Food processing is essential to everyday food consumption as it takes products from plants and animals and turns them into basic ingredients. Flour, sugar, rice, cornmeal and coffee all result from size reduction processing.
Milling is what makes food processing possible, and it's an integral part of the commercial food industry. An industrial grain mill creates flour and oatmeal, while similar machines process powdered milk and brewer's yeast.
The Importance of Pulverizers and Hammer Mills
Milling uses pulverizers and hammer mills to break down and refine raw materials. Numerous types of pulverizers specialize in processing specific materials. Hammer mills, feed grinders and lump breakers are versatile machines that can break down food products or break up lumps in flour or sugar.
Cryogenic feeders cool down fatty or sugary food items that are sensitive to temperature increases like cheeses, dried fruit and certain spices.
Our Selection of Pulverizers
Our extensive selection of pulverizers includes various sizes and power capabilities. The smallest model has a 1-horsepower (HP) main drive motor, while the largest ranges from 125 to 300 HP. Our range of pulverizers for food processing include:
- Pulvette Pulva-Sizer 3/4-1 ½ HP: The Pulvette is the smallest sized model perfect for pilot plants and smaller manufacturers.
