An industrial grinder in food or feed production is not just a \"mincer.\" It determines the stability of the mince structure<\/strong>, fat concentration (risk of \"smearing\/fat out\"), throughput at peaks, as well as how much downtime the line has for cleaning and servicing<\/strong>. That\u2019s why when selecting a grinder, it\u2019s important to look not only at the capacity but also at the type of auger, handling of frozen blocks, bones, hygienic zones, ease of disassembly, and safety<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>

Below is a practical guide using the scansteel foodtech<\/strong> program: single-screw and twin-screw grinders, as well as units for fine grinding\/emulsification.<\/p><\/p>

Important points when choosing a grinder: 4 critical parameters<\/strong><\/h2>
  1. Raw materials and their condition:<\/strong> fresh meat raw materials \/ tempered \/ deep-frozen blocks \/ fat \/ fish \/ offal \/ by-products. <\/li>\n\n
  2. Risk of smearing (fat spreading) and requirements for the \u2018definiteness\u2019 of fat particles<\/strong><\/strong> in minced meat (especially for sausages, burgers, drying\/curing). <\/li>\n\n
  3. Performance and actual \u2018peak\u2019 operation<\/strong>, not average. <\/li>\n\n
  4. Hygiene and washing:<\/strong> access to product contact areas, separation of drive units from the product, minimisation of cross-contamination risk.<\/li><\/ol>

    Single-shaft shredders: when it's the right choice<\/strong><\/h2>

    Single worm\/auger grinders<\/strong> are usually chosen when the following is required:<\/p>

    • reliable, simple grinding mechanism;<\/li>\n\n
    • working with fresh meat raw materials and\/or frozen blocks;<\/li>\n\n
    • high throughput and predictable operation.<\/li><\/ul>

      scansteel foodtech<\/strong> offers the following grinder specifications: stainless steel AISI 304<\/strong>, ranges \u00d8250\u2013\u00d8550<\/strong>, capacity 2000\u201340,000 kg\/h<\/strong>, as well as options such as hydraulic knife tensioning<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>

      Twin-shaft shredders (CombiGrind): when they offer a real advantage<\/strong><\/h2>

      Double worm\/auger conveyors<\/strong> are usually justified when the following is required:<\/p>

      • simultaneously work with \u2018heavy\u2019 raw materials (including frozen blocks) and maintain stable mince quality<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n
      • reduce fat smearing and preserve the structure of fat particles<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n
      • it is preferable to control the feed to the cutting sets by controlling the speeds<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>
