Sheldon, IA — November 20, 2025 — Rome Grinding Solutions, a leading manufacturer of industrial food grinders and custom grinding systems, proudly announces the launch of the Colossus Series Dual-Stage Grinder, its largest and most advanced piece of equipment to date. Designed for frozen and tempered food processing applications, the Colossus combines pre-breaking and grinding into one seamless system, eliminating the need for separate feed equipment between stages.

Built on a dual-grinder frame to ensure precision alignment and sanitation access, the Colossus delivers streamlined performance for food production operations seeking innovative, consolidated solutions. By reducing handling, minimizing labor, and optimizing floor space, the Colossus allows facilities to run smoothly, safely, and more effectively while reducing the impact on secondary grinding equipment.

“Producers are under more pressure than ever to increase output while maintaining strict quality and safety standards,” said Kate Rome, CEO of Rome Grinding Solutions. “The Colossus meets that demand with a powerful and reliable design that reduces complexity without sacrificing
performance.”

Available in two models, the Colossus 1109 (11-inch plate, 100–125 HP) and Colossus 1612 (16-inch plate, 125–150 HP) are engineered to feed directly into Rome’s Titan Series or Maximus Series grinders, forming an efficient, high-performance grinding cell for the beef, pork, poultry, and pet food industries.

The Colossus will officially debut at IPPE 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, at Booth #C20139.
