Fine grinding / colloid mill

Reduce wet chili solids for a smooth hot sauce or fine paste.

What it does

Construction and product duty

A rotor-stator or other specified fine-grinding chamber works with a metered feed, product outlet and suitable shaft sealing.

Incoming product: A pumpable prepared chili feed with an agreed solids content.
Discharge: Finer dispersion for downstream refining or blending.

Evaluate the actual chili slurry at its working temperature. Gap, passes and throughput must be assessed together with temperature rise.

Bypass this module when intact particles are required. A wet colloid mill must not be assumed suitable for untreated dry pods.

Selection parameter	Information to establish
Grinding basis	Wet feed, solids and initial particle distribution
Outcome	Measured fineness at stated flow and passes
Service	Seals, cooling needs and cleanability

Inspect rotor/stator surfaces and seals; confirm safe opening, drainability and the permitted cleaning circuit.

Match feed pressure, minimum flow and outlet backpressure. Define a sampling point before blending masks the texture.

Measure fineness, seed fragments, consistency, heat pickup and repeatability at a stated mass flow.

What feed does this module accept?

A pumpable prepared chili feed with an agreed solids content.

What does it discharge?

Finer dispersion for downstream refining or blending.

What changes the selection?

Evaluate the actual chili slurry at its working temperature. Gap, passes and throughput must be assessed together with temperature rise.

What should be verified in a trial?

Measure fineness, seed fragments, consistency, heat pickup and repeatability at a stated mass flow.
