Sigma Equipment Supply & Services provides full-service support, retrofitting, and spare parts availability for all models, including custom integration into new and existing process lines.

Benefits

  • High-Efficiency Grinding for Fiber Separation Engineered for corn wet milling and starch production, disc mills deliver precise, high-shear grinding that ensures effective fiber-cell wall breakdown and optimal germ, fiber, and starch separation.
  • Consistent Particle Size Distribution Adjustable grinding gap and rotor/stator configurations allow for controlled and uniform particle sizes, enhancing downstream separation efficiency and overall process stability.
  • Robust Construction for Demanding Operations Designed for continuous, high-load applications, the disc mill features heavy-duty materials and wear-resistant components for long-term durability in abrasive environments.
  • Low Maintenance with Quick Access Design Easy access to grinding plates and internal components allows for quick inspection, cleaning, and replacement, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Key Features

The FQ-152 Grind Mill is a 52-inch single revolving disc mill, engineered for high-capacity, heavy-duty operation in the first, second, or third stage of the wet corn grinding process.
