SternMaid Now Offers Fine Grinding and Homogenization

09 Dec 2014 --- At HiE in Amsterdam, SternMaid presented a comprehensive range of blending and processing options for precise adjustment of product attributes. The new hammer mill widens the range of outsourcing services to include fine grinding and homogenization.

Besides the multifunctional fluid bed processor and the different blending lines for liquids and solids, SternMaid’s range of equipment now includes a hammer mill for fine grinding of raw materials. The mill is specially designed for breaking up hard, crystalline or fibrous products and permits extremely fine grinding to sizes below 200 µm. This makes it possible to grind and homogenize product mixtures that are not uniform, such as coarsely crystalline raw materials and fine powders. It is no problem to reverse the rotor of the hammer mill for more flexibility. The raw materials can be broken up either by the hammers or by the knives, depending on requirements. 

Not only does this wide range of equipment enable SternMaid to carry out orders of different sizes flexibly; the contract manufacturer is also well set up to meet special requirements such as allergen, kosher or halal management.
