Food-grade attrition mill

By Wayne Labs, Senior Contributing Technical Editor

Munson’s Model SK-30-SS food-grade attrition mill produces particles within a size range of 10 to 100 mesh. The unit is suited for the reduction of fibrous and friable materials, and cracking corn and other grains. The mill is equipped with an outer stationary milling disc and an inner rotating milling disc that adjusts to vary the gap between the discs. Material enters the gap through the center of the outer disc, and is ground between the discs as it travels radially by centrifugal force, with greater reductions achieved by reducing the gap.
