MEET THE COLOSSUS
Introducing the Colossus, Rome’s dual-stage grinding system designed to set a new standard in food production. Combining a pre‑breaker stage with a Titan or Maximus grinder under one unified frame, the Colossus delivers massive throughput for frozen and tempered products in one streamlined machine.
Available in two heavy-duty models, the Colossus 1109 features an 11-inch grinder plate and a 100–125 horsepower setup ideal for facilities producing tempered or frozen foods that require a high yield and a consistent, fine final grind. The Colossus 1612 has a 16-inch plate and a 125–150 horsepower configuration for even greater throughput, making it the go-to solution for high-capacity operations working with frozen blocks, dense inputs, or byproducts. Both models are designed as dual-stage systems, pairing a powerful pre-breaker with either a Titan or Maximus grinder, to maximize performance across demanding applications.
- Colossus must be mated to a Titan or Maximus and utilizes a custom frame to secure both units.
- Existing Titan/Maximus units may be retrofit‑converted to work with the Colossus frame.
- Not available as a standalone unit at launch.
