Probat UW.246

• Grinding roasted coffee beans for various brewing methods.
• Processing cocoa nibs into liquor for chocolate production.
• Milling spices and herbs for food manufacturing.
• Grinding grains and cereals for speciality flours or feed.

Typical capacity

For this class of industrial grinder, throughput can typically range from 200 kg/h to over 1000 kg/h, depending on the desired fineness and product density.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor ratings varying based on capacity.

Grinding mechanism

Probat grinders, including the UW series, typically utilise precision-engineered grinding discs or rollers to achieve consistent particle sizes.

Particle size range

These machines are designed to produce a wide range of particle sizes, from coarse to very fine, adjustable to suit specific product requirements.

Material of construction

Components in contact with the product are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

Industrial grinders like the UW.246 typically have a substantial footprint, requiring dedicated floor space, often around 1.5m x 1m, plus access for maintenance.

• What kind of products can this grinder process?

  The Probat UW.246 is primarily designed for dry, friable products such as roasted coffee beans, cocoa nibs, and various spices, offering versatility for food processing applications.

• Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a grinder of this type?

• Can the fineness of the grind be adjusted?

• What safety features are typically present on industrial grinders?

Food processing mills are valued for consistent particle size reduction across grain, spice and dry ingredient applications. Buyers typically prioritise motor condition, grinding chamber cleanliness and wear on grinding elements when purchasing used equipment. Industry sentiment highlights reliability and longevity as key strengths, particularly with well-maintained units. Attention should be given to throughput capacity matching production needs and compatibility with existing systems. Corrosion resistance matters for hygiene-sensitive environments. Reputable machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence in the secondary market.
