Buhler SFL-1300 Five Roll Refiner

Five roll refiner with working width 1300 mm

The machine for grinding chocolate and couverture masses
of various viscosities and compositions,
whereby the five steel rollers are hydraulically controlled.
After adjusting the pressing pressures,
the grinding gaps are automatically adjusted and are easily reproducible.
The rollers can be released or pressurized
via a control lever without changing the previously set values.
The set pressures can be read off via pressure gauges;
this also applies to the water inlet temperatures of
the individual roller cooling systems.
The compound is fed to the bottom pair
of rollers via a feed hopper and removed again
at the top fifth roller with a scraper blade.
The output of the machine is essentially dependent
on the composition of the mass
(in particular the fat content)
and the desired fineness.
Roller width : approx. 1300 mm
