Sigma Equipment

Overview

Engineered for precision, built for performance. The Komline-FluidQuip Impact Mill (FQ-IM Series) is purpose-built for the third grind stage in corn wet milling, striking the perfect balance — treating delicate corn fibers with a gentle touch while delivering the robust impact forces needed to release bound starch.

Available in standard and high-capacity models (FQ-IM40 and FQ-IM40H), these mills combine robust construction, low vibration, and continuous operation for exceptional reliability. The result: significantly reduced bound starch levels and higher overall starch yields for your corn wet milling operation. Sigma Equipment supplies complete systems, spare parts, and integration for all FQ-IM Impact Mill configurations, including retrofits for existing installations.

Benefits

Higher starch yield with reduced bound starch levels
Lower energy consumption per ton of grind
Less fine fiber generation and improved slurry quality
Minimal operator adjustment and stable throughput
Reduced heat generation prevents starch gelatinization
Compact retrofit compatibility with existing systems

Key Features

Horizontally rotating 40" rotor with 3" impact pins
Belt-driven motor system with dual flanged feed inlets
Continuous oil lubrication (Alemite®, Vogel®, LubriSource®)
Adjustable vibration switch with automatic shutdown
Heavy-duty frame and motor base to minimize vibration
Large discharge hopper with flanged outlet
Complies with ISO1940/ANSI S2.19-1989 G1 balance standards

Operating Principle

Slurry enters the horizontal rotor chamber and passes through the rotating impact-pin field. Repeated impact breaks bound starch from the fiber structure while the operating geometry limits unnecessary fiber size reduction and temperature rise.

Available Options

Other Details

Primary application: Third grind in corn wet milling for lower bound starch and improved starch yield.
Process advantages: Lower energy use, less fine fiber generation and reduced risk of starch gelatinization compared with aggressive grinding.
