Cereal flour mill Matador MJZH

for wheat

Overview
The Matador impact machine (model Matador MJZH) deactivates more than 99.5% of insect eggs in flour and semolina by applying a multiple-impact system to the flowing product. It is designed for integration after milling to increase finished-product safety while maintaining continuous process throughput.

Key benefits

• Energy efficiency: lower energy consumption than comparable impact machines owing to the absence of cross-flow air through the unit.
• Early fault detection: integrated sensors monitor housing temperature, compressed-air level at the seal and vibrations to enable preventive intervention.
• Proven deactivation: validated by independent experts to achieve >99.5% insect-egg deactivation in flour and semolina.

Food safety as a success factor
The Matador’s multiple-impact principle acts on product during inlet and outlet flow, delivering reliable insect-egg deactivation that reduces contamination risk in finished milled products. Independent testing supports its use as a control measure in food-safety management systems.

Design and plant integration
The unit is offered in five closely graded sizes with throughputs from approximately 1 to 45 t/h. It can be installed vertically or horizontally, and smaller models can be suspended from the ceiling. The Matador is compatible with gravity spouting and pneumatic conveyors up to 1 bar overpressure, enabling flexible layout and straightforward retrofit into existing milling lines.

Applications

• Flour (baking and milling streams)
• Semolina / durum wheat semolina
