Dry Processing

Dried fruit grinder

By Wayne Labs, Senior Contributing Technical Editor

Modern Process Equipment Corporation’s dried fruit Gran-U-Lizer employs a roller-style method. Constructed of FDA-approved materials from SS to food-grade plastic components, the grinder provides minimal vibration and maintains tolerances under extreme conditions. The unit is designed to offer a high-capacity yield with maximum flexibility on final grind targets. In addition, the grinder can be used as part of a cryogenic process, where sub-zero temperatures required for processing certain fruit products can enhance the performance of the grinder.
