The Meadows
Grits Separator is specialized machine for efficiently producing high quality
corn meal and grits. The grits separator is large enough to handle the capacity of
the Meadows 30" stone burr mill, but is efficient enough to produce high
quality products when used with smaller Meadows stone burr mills. The
grits separator has an all steel cabinet. A 5" round inlet receives the
whole corn meal as the meal falls from a material collector mounted just over
the inlet of the grits separator. The whole corn meal is generally conveyed to the
grits separator by means of an elevating fan mounted on the stone burr
mill. A 7' rotating reel is located inside the housing of the grits
separator. The reel is covered with 26-mesh screen (produces the corn
meal) and 12-mesh/14-mesh screen (produces the grits). A suction
fan, mounted on under the grits screens, helps to further clean the grits.
The result is corn meal beyond compare and grits free of trash. The
Meadows Grits Separator is available in two configurations. The spout
bottom, pictured above, is intended to be mounted on an upper floor of a
multi-level mill. The corn meal and grits may then fall freely into your
bagging system. The hopper bottom, not pictured, allows small millers to
scoop the corn meal and grits into bags or brutes by hand. The Meadows
grits separator may be driven by flat belt from your Meadows stone burr mill or
the grits separator can be driven by a 2-hp or 3-hp electric motor. The
2-hp or 3-hp electric motor is available in single-phase or 3-phase. Grits produced
with a Meadows Grits Separator contain
the germ and the full flavor of the corn.
