Food grinding capabilities beyond expectations

GEA PowerGrind

This robust industrial food grinding equipment is equally suitable for coarse and fine grinding of fresh and frozen meat. GEA PowerGrind is known for its modularity, hygienic design and reliable performance in food grinding.

Versatility in high-speed industrial food grinding

The GEA PowerGrind family is a new generation of robust food grinding machines that focuses on performance, hygiene, safety and modularity. The design of the combined feeder and processing worm is the benchmark for grinding fresh and frozen meat, with better stability of the meat blocks, improved texture and less dust. GEA's two-worm design food grinder is available in Ø 200- and 280-mm versions.

Specifications

Advanced technology
Unique two-worm configuration
GEA PowerGrind | Food grinding machine Unique two-worm configuration

The GEA PowerGrind has a two-worm configuration, with independent drives for each worm. A slower rotating feeder worm gently cuts the frozen blocks in the infeed area, without generating excessive fines (dust), to preserve the quality of the ground meat and maintain yield. A second, faster-rotating process worm, with the relevant hole plate, produces the required granularity.

Auto-reverse feeder worm

The auto-reverse feeder worm optimizes product flow by avoiding overfeeding. If the processing worm is overloaded, the patented technology will automatically reverse and start the feeder worm. Cutting tools can be replaced easily even when the machine is loaded.

Add-ons

Complement your PowerGrind with additional equipment and options
Hard particle sorting device

The optional hard particle sorting system automatically removes bone chips, connective tissues and other hard particles with minimal meat loss. It collects and accumulates the particles at programmable intervals, then pneumatically ejects them before returning to its collecting position. The stroke frequency is easily adjustable to ensure an optimal ejection/yield ratio. 

Feeder worm extraction tool

The feeder worm extraction tool has been designed for easy handling and sanitation. Using the cleaning trolley, the worm can be removed and (dis)assembled easily by one operator. With the unique hinged lining, this provides easy access for optimal sanitation.

Wide range of cutting tools

The GEA PowerGrind is available with 3 or 5-piece cutting sets, including cylindrical or conical hole plates, solid knives or knives with inserts and a variety of pre-cutters with different shaped product holes. Extended tool life can be realized with the cutting heads featured in the FlexGrind system. These reduce re-sharpening costs by extending the operational life up to three times.

Optional fixed pre-cutter

Add an optional fixed pre-cutter for extremely high-power grinding. It reduces pressure on the knives to reduce wear and heat build-up.

Add loading and handling equipment to build a full line

GEA offers fully automated production lines, ensuring consistent high-quality products and minimizing labor costs with full traceability. Using buffering and belt transport equipment to distribute emulsion, premix or ground meat, eliminates the need for manual handling and storing of dozens of trolleys in the preparation area.
