Machines for the production of plant-based milk alternatives
Machines for the production of plant-based milk alternatives:
Probst & Class develops and manufactures both individual components and whole plants for the production of plant-based milk alternatives.
Every end product needs its own bespoke machine configuration.
Our strategy for perfect customisation: puclab.
puclab – Pilot
Make an appointment for preliminary tests in our pilot plant.
We give you and your product as much time as needed. Together with your technicians/engineers, we determine the best possible configuration for your new PUC machine in our test lab and plan its integration into your process.
puclab – On-Site
Test a PUC mill in your plant or laboratory.
Talk to our technical support to define the requirements for your process and product. We then provide you with a suitable machine, free of charge, and offer support for your in-house trials.
puclab – Remote
Send us your raw materials for testing.
Based on your specifications and materials, we determine the best machine configuration for your end product in our technical centre. Using different grinder sets and settings, we can calculate within a few hours how your new PUC mill needs to be configured, without charge.

Probst & Class colloid mill, Type EL
Raw materials for the production of plant-based milk alternatives
For the production of vegetable-milk alternatives, machines from Probst & Class have already proven themselves in the processing of the following raw materials:
- Almonds
- Oat grains
- Macademia nuts
- Coconuts
- Rice grains
- Soya beans
- Cashew nuts
Machine types used
Colloid mills from Probst & Class can basically process all materials that have a minimal moisture content. Since vegetable-milk alternatives always have a high water content, colloid mills are generally well suited for this purpose.
With an infinitely adjustable grinding set and an easy-to-clean grinding mechanism, flexible use is guaranteed at all times. A wide range of toothing geometries also makes it possible to respond to material-specific conditions and achieve the best possible results.
Our perforated disc mills also offer the option of pregrinding for initially coarser products as well as higher fineness results in combination with our colloid mills. We can achieve an end product fineness of less than 10 micrometres.
We also offer in-line deaeration systems for the extraction of air and other gases. This step is particularly relevant before packaging to achieve a clean atmosphere and preserve the properties of the plant-based milk.
Production process
Processing and production can be carried out with Probst & Class mills and systems in a batch process or continuous inline process, depending on the requirements. We are happy to advise you as to the advantages and disadvantages of the processes as well as system integration. Please send us an enquiry for our puclab service.
Probst & Class as a supplier to the food industry
Probst & Class mills have been used in state-of-the-art food processing for 80 years. With a PUC, both small and large companies produce vegetable-milk alternatives of top quality consistently.
The high production quality of PUC machines usually guarantees a service life of several decades. The supply of spare and wear parts, even for very early models, guarantees a secure investment and low total cost of ownership.
Find your ideal machine, reliably and quickly
In the almost 100-year history of Probst & Class, there is one constant: Practically every end product needs its own individual machine configuration!
Two special features of Probst & Class guarantee the highest satisfaction and loyalty of our customers: The simple convertibility of our machines and our approach to customisation.
What has been part of our success for decades is now a strategy. We call this strategy puclab.
puclab is more than a development lab
- System consulting: Holistic concepts for the construction of new systems and the conversion of systems to other products
- Outsourced R&D for our customers' wet grinding, mixing and degassing processes
- Preliminary trials to help decide on the optimal process
- Further development of processes in case of changed specifications
- Application database with test set-ups, test results and videos
