Knife Mill (Net weight – 10 kg)

The Knife Mill (Net weight – 10 kg) is the ideal instrument for grinding and homogenizing foods and feeds. With two sharp, robust blades and a powerful 1000 W motor, it allows to process sample volumes up to 0.7 liters quickly and effectively. The KNIFE MILL (NET WEIGHT – 10 KG) is not only ideal for homogenizing substances with a high water, oil or fat content but is also perfectly suited for grinding dry, soft and medium-hard products. The quick homogenization process without noteworthy temperature rise ensures preservation of volatile sample components.

ACCESSORIES & OPTIONS :

A range of different containers, lids and knives makes the KNIFE MILL (NET WEIGHT – 10 KG) a truly universal device, suitable not only for processing food and feed samples but a wide range of materials.

Patented gravity lid

• Automatically adjusts the grinding chamber volume to the changing sample volume.

Gravity lid with overflow channels

• Ideally suited to homogenize samples with a high water content.

Stainless steel container

• Minimum wear when hard sample materials are processed.

Stainless steel container with baffles

• The baffles contribute to a thorough mixing of the sample.

Reduction lid

• Reduces the chamber volume to 0.5 or 0.3 liter for optimum homogenization of small sample volumes.

Serrated blade knife

• Used for particularly tough samples such as fatty, streaky meat.

Full metal knife

• With 2 blades, it is suitable for cold grinding and cutting hard samples.

Cryokit

• For homogenizing sticky samples with dry ice

FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE :

Two sharp, robust blades rotate in the center of the grinding container. Depending on the rotational direction, size reduction is effected with the blunt side (preliminary size reduction) or the sharp side (fine grinding). The knife is directly driven by a powerful motor of 1000 W. A pre-selectable speed which is maintained electronically ensures optimum adaptation to individual application requirements as well as reproducible grinding results.
