Mahlkönig 120 mm Carbide Burrs – VTA 6S
Where special steel eventually reaches its limits, carbide goes further: these 120 mm burrs with a hardness of 75+ HRC are built for grinding from espresso fine to French press, with the same throughput of up to 2600 g per minute as the steel version – but with a service life of 30 to 35 tons.
For operations with very high throughput, the higher upfront cost can pay off over the long run – that's a calculation each operation makes for itself. As a partner of Mahlkönig, we carry these original burrs for you.

Which operations benefit from the carbide version?
Mainly operations with very high throughput, where the significantly longer service life pays off over time.

Yes, with the right tool this is quite manageable. If you'd like to see it in advance, you're welcome in our showrooms in Bern and Zürich.
