Moinhos Vieira manufactures industrial hammer mills for grinding chickpeas, serving everything from small operations to large-scale industrial processes.

Our equipment is successfully used for the particle size reduction of chickpeas, allowing different levels of grinding according to the needs of each process.

With extensive experience in industrial grinding, we carry out practical tests with chickpeas to evaluate equipment performance and help select the most suitable solution for each application.
