Hammer mill VerticaTM.
Energy-efficient system.

Easy maintenance and long service life.

No external aspiration.

The vertical hammer mill Vertica is suitable for use in breweries and distilleries, with all common mash filter systems for barley,
malt, wheat, rye, sorghum, rice, maize and maize grits. Compared to other hammer mills, Vertica is a system with low invest-
ment, low maintenance costs and high performance.

Low energy requirement.

Thanks to the closed milling chamber no aspiration is required
for the grinding process. In comparison with standard horizontal
hammer mills, there is energy saving of at least 30 percent.
2x longer service life
48 beaters of optimized
Simple maintenance. steel quality

There is simple access to sieves and beaters thanks to

the cone, which can be lowered automatically, as well as
the quick changing of inserted or screwed in wearing 4x longer service life
parts, resulting in minimal operational interruptions. thanks to sieves of
optimized steel quality
Maintenance requirements are reduced by reinforced sie-
ves with up to four times the service life and tempered
beaters with up to double the service life.

Low investment costs.

Safe system. Optical spark detection.

Continuous feed into the hammer mill proceeds via a fee-
ding device. The machine control DFCQ regulates the
operation of the Vertica hammer mill. It starts and stops
the motor, controls the cone, monitors safety functions
and regulates the flow rate.
The outlet, with optical detection of sparks, a bursting
disk as well as a blow-through airlock as a decoupling
element, meets the explosion protection requirements for
breweries and distilleries.
