The front door of an MF mill is wide and easy to open, making the milling chamber easily accessible for cleaning and servicing. The rotor and sieve can be changed in almost no time. The distance between these two components is continuously adjustable, and their exact positions are measured and indicated — a factor that ensures safety, makes operating the unit easier, and pays off during the validation of processes.

Oscillating sieve mills can operate either as stand-alone units or incorporated within production lines; in each case they are easily retrofitted to existing systems. Because hygiene and safety are of paramount importance in food production, all the elastomer components and lubricants used are FDA-compliant. Atex versions are also available for the safe milling of explosive products.

Gentle milling for herbal teas

Ricola has been using Frewitt MF sieve mills for many years in the production of its instant herbal teas. For this renowned Swiss company the sturdy construction of these mills, their low maintenance requirements, gentle yet effective milling action and the very small fraction of fine particles were the decisive factors in choosing them.

Ricola’s special process ensures a consistently high proportion of active ingredients and flavors in the teas — an important factor in making sure that consumers get full benefit from the soothing effect of the teas. Milling plays a key role in the instant tea manufacturing process, and Ricola places particular value on the MF mills’ ability to produce a homogeneous particle size distribution with very few fine particles.
