What it does

Construction and product duty

A guarded cutting or crushing chamber, suitable feed throat and discharge connect raw preparation to the texture route.

Choose cut geometry and feed method from whether pieces must remain visible or are destined for a fine mill.

One screen size is not a guaranteed final particle size. Fibers, seeds, feed moisture and recirculation affect the result.

Selection parameter	Information to establish
Texture target	Visible piece shape versus pre-mill reduction
Feed condition	Pod moisture and maximum feed size
Maintenance	Knife/screen access and wear inspection

Allow inspection of knives, screens, seals and product traps with safe energy isolation.

Control upstream surges and discharge bridging; arrange a clear bypass or transfer to either blending or milling.

Compare particle distributions and temperature rise, including intact inclusions and oversize pieces.
