The very first step of brewing is the process of malt crushing, which is a very important process as it determines the quality of the wort and its yield. The purpose of milling is to increase the specific surface of the malt, taking care to minimize the fragmentation of the husk.
The soundness of the husk provides better filtering conditions and the finer crushed the kernel, the greater is the extract production.
With ZIPMILL your quality crush is guaranteed!
The milling process is done by two separate rollers set in front of each other in a preset distance where the malt passes. Setting the right distance is important to get the optimal lightness and sparing of the husk. The adjustment can be eased by the provided gap gear. Recommended roller distance is 0,5-0,6 mm depending on the quality of the malt. The hopper is equipped with a built-in magnet, which intends to pull out any ferromagnetic item from the raw material. ZIPMILL’s footing allows the storage of the malt until mashing or pre-mashing.
Due to the acid-resistant materials, the mill can be cleaned by chemicals used in CIP processes.
