Having successfully hammered away at the purée market, Hosokawa Micron is now aiming its Rietz RA angle disintegrator at baby food manufacturers.
The mill ejects non-friable or reject materials via a secondary discharge, which continuously removes skin and fibres that may cause infants to choke, producing first foods with no-bits as well as more textured products.
Hosokawa says the Reitz RA (right) is particularly suited to processing unpeeled raw, blanched or fully cooked cold and hot fruit and veg, such as squash, pumpkin, carrots, apples and peaches, resulting in less waste and more essential nutrients reaching the final product. A 0.8mm to 0.6mm screen used on the final pass also allows cooked and de-fatted meats to be turned into baby's first solids.
