Compact and space saving solution
GEA CombiGrind
The GEA CombiGrind I has been designed as a single, compact unit that combines an intermeshing paddle mixer and a high-performance grinder. The unit is ideal for mixing and grinding pre-ground meat and fragile meat products, especially when fast, effective mixing, perfect granulometry and high contrast color definition are essential.
Flexibility meets consistency
The GEA CombiGrind I intermeshing mixing-grinding system offers gentle, effective mixing and high capacity grinding in one versatile, hygienic unit. Ideal for mixing and grinding fresh and frozen meat mixtures for ground meat products, the technology helps to maintain excellent product structure and product density throughout the mixing and grinding process. Effective processing helps ensure rapid, thorough distribution and absorption of liquids, spices and additives, while retaining a top quality granulate with high color definition after grinding. The GEA CombiGrind I can be integrated into processing lines or be used as a stand-alone unit.
Main applications
Main product applications include ground meat and pre-ground meat products, such as case-ready portions, hamburgers, various types of salami and other fragile meat products. Also highly effective processing of extended products such as patties, various ground meat sausages, meat balls and nuggets.

- Easily removed leakproof shaft seals for user-friendly daily cleaning
Specifications
Advanced technologyEfficient cooling with optimal process control
With optional liquid CO2 or liquid N2 cooling, the mixer/grinder is suitable for extended formed products. Cooling can help to reduce bacterial growth and so extend the shelf life of the mixture.
Special cooling nozzles, dedicated for delivering CO2 or N2 cooling gas, are designed to help ensure optimal penetration of cooling gas into the mix. This saves gas costs and mixing time. The nozzles are easy to remove and clean.
By measuring the motor torque load, this mixer detects the viscosity of the mix and, in combination with the temperature measurement, controls the exact cooling time for optimal forming consistency.

Add-ons
Options for GEA CombiGrindHard particle sorting device
The optional hard particle sorting system automatically removes bone chips, connective tissues and other hard particles, but with minimal meat loss. The device 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.
Modular design
An optional discharge gate gives users the ability to use the CombiGrind I for mixing only, and bypass the grinding step without the need to reconfigure the whole machine. Additional configuration options and auxiliary equipment are available for cooling, dosing, weighing, hard particle removal and variable mixing speeds.
