Description

Di Pacci — 140 mm Flat Burr Bulk Grinder with Automatic Bag Clamp

Ditting KFA1403 Coffee Grinder

The Ditting KFA1403 grinds around 2.2 kg of coffee a minute through 140 mm flat burrs, with an automatic bag clamp so staff can fill retail and wholesale bags hands-free.

The Ditting KFA1403 is a Swiss-made bulk coffee grinder for roasteries, retail counters and busy cafés that grind coffee to order by the bag. Its 140 mm grinding discs and 1.7 kW motor deliver an average of 2200 g per minute, with stepless adjustment from coarse filter to fine.

The KFA version adds an automatic bag clamp, so the bag is held in place while it fills and the operator can serve the next customer. If you prefer a manual clamp with a bag shaker, the KR1403 shares the same burrs and motor.

Key Features of the KFA1403

⚙️ 140 mm grinding discs

Large, wear-resistant precision discs keep throughput high at every setting, from coarse plunger to fine filter.

⚡ Fast, cool grinding

An average of 2200 g per minute means a 1 kg bag fills in well under a minute, limiting heat build-up in the grounds.

🛍️ Automatic bag clamp

The clamp holds the bag at the spout while it fills, freeing the operator's hands for the next order.

🎚️ Stepless adjustment

Dial in any grind size between the marked settings to match each customer's brewer exactly.

🧹 Low retention

A tapper on the discharge chute clears grounds after each grind, so the next customer gets fresh coffee.

🔧 Built for service

Ditting grinders are designed for long service lives with replaceable discs and straightforward cleaning.

Why 140 mm Discs Suit Bulk Grinding

Grinding a bag of coffee is a different job to grinding a single espresso dose. Burr size sets how fast coffee can pass through at a given grind size, and that speed decides how long the beans spend between the discs.

  • Bigger discs have more cutting surface, so more coffee is ground per revolution without spinning faster.
  • Faster throughput means less time in contact with the discs, which keeps grounds cooler and protects aroma.
  • The same disc set handles coarse and fine settings at full speed, so a busy counter doesn't slow down for filter grinds.

The result is a grinder that can turn a 1 kg bag around in about half a minute, all day, without compromising grind quality.

KFA1403 vs KR1403

Both use the same 140 mm discs and 1.7 kW motor. The difference is how the bag is held.

Feature KFA1403 KR1403
Grinding discs 140 mm 140 mm
Average output 2200 g/min 2200 g/min
Bag holding Automatic clamp Manual clamp with bag shaker
Best for High-volume bagging, hands-free Counter grinding with bag settling

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the KFA1403 if staff fill many bags in a row and need their hands free. Don't bother if you grind only a few bags a day; the Ditting KR1403 or the smaller Ditting 807 will do the job for less.

Who This Grinder Is For

✓ Ideal if you:
  • Roast and bag coffee for retail or wholesale
  • Grind several kilograms a day for customers
  • Want a hands-free bag clamp at the counter
  • Have a three-phase power supply
  • Need a grinder that covers coarse to fine without slowing down
✗ Consider alternatives if you:
  • Grind espresso shots to order; see our commercial espresso grinders
  • Grind only a few bags a day; the Ditting 807 is smaller and simpler
  • Only have single-phase power; the KFA1403 needs a three-phase supply
  • Need industrial volumes for a production line; ask about the Ditting 1827

Ditting KFA1403 Coffee Grinder — Frequently Asked Questions

What power does the KFA1403 need?

It has a 1.7 kW motor and runs on a three-phase supply. Have an electrician confirm your three-phase outlet, and call us so we can match the grinder's voltage configuration to your site.
