Modern Mills for Precious Pods

The Ultraplex 250 UPZ fine impact mill is a reliable partner in such cases where the consistency of the material varies. Especially in grinding products with natural fibers such as vanilla beans, different grinders and sieve inserts are required and have to be changed quickly. The Hamburg family business Aust & Hachmann oHG therefore relies on the high-quality solutions from Hosokawa Alpine to continue its history rich in tradition.

It is hard to imagine a cake or dessert without the use of vanilla. Whether in the form of pods, powder, extract or as an addition to sugar: the fruits of the tropical orchid genus vanilla are precious and in great demand. From the cultivation areas in Madagascar, Uganda and Papua New Guinea, the pods are exported all over the world for further processing – as well as to Hamburg. There, for 140 years, the company Aust & Hachmann has specialized in the trade and production of high-quality natural vanilla products for 140 years. For a long time, the Hamburg-based company acted exclusively as an intermediary, but now, as part of a cooperation with Hosokawa Alpine, they have been able to decisively expand the product range: by using the Ultraplex 250 UPZ fine impact mill, the family-owned company is now able to produce the finest vanilla powder.
