Legumes Grinding
With us, you can achieve efficient and gentle grinding of a wide variety of legumes, including field beans, kidney beans, mung beans and peas. The use of our proven hammer mills ensures economical processing of legumes with optimum product quality.
Challenges in Grinding Legumes
The grinding of legumes such as peas, beans and lentils places high demands on technology and materials. These raw materials are hard, abrasive and energy-rich, which makes processing them challenging:
- High energy requirements for a uniform, fine grain structure
- Heavy wear due to the abrasive properties and large size of the legumes
- Increased risk of explosion during flour production
Tietjen meets these challenges with robust, hardened components, individually designed grinding concepts and comprehensive explosion protection – for safe, efficient and long-lasting production.
High Requirements for Grinding Legumes
For the further processing of dried legumes such as peas, beans, or lentils, a very fine grain structure after grinding is crucial. And this is precisely where the challenge lies. With a hammer mill, it is possible to carry out this massive crushing of the whole legume into fine flour with just one machine.
Which Legumes Are Ground Using Tietjen Hammer Mills?
Many different types of beans, such as
- kidney beans, field beans, or white beans
- alfalfa,
- soybeans
- peas
- lentils
How Tietjen Faces the Challenge of Grinding Legumes
This means that grinding legumes puts a lot of strain on the machine and causes high wear and tear. Tietjen counters this with:
- Quality “Made in Germany”: Particularly robust and sophisticated design for durability and reliability.
- Reinforced hardened screens and hardened beaters: These minimize wear and tear, thereby reducing the operating costs of the machine.
- Experience that pays off: The mill is individually adapted to the size and consistency of the legume, as each variety is ground differently.
- There is always a risk of explosion when grinding grain into flour. Tietjen attaches great importance to safety and offers comprehensive solutions for explosion protection to ensure that your production runs safely and reliably.
What is Made from the Ground Legumes?
The grinding of various beans and peas into flour or protein concentrates is a key process in the production of meat substitutes, protein-rich flour, dietary supplements and protein drinks.
