Di Pacci — 180 mm Industrial Turkish-Fine Coffee Grinder (Special Order)
Mahlkonig DK27 LVST Industrial Grinder
The Mahlkonig DK27 LVST is a roastery-scale industrial grinder built to produce Turkish-fine coffee in bulk, around 180 kg every hour.
The Mahlkonig DK27 LVST is the Turkish-grind version of Mahlkönig's DK27 industrial grinder. It runs 180 mm burrs in fully hardened special steel on a 5500 W three-phase motor, with an approximate output of 180 kg/h of Turkish-fine coffee. The motor is surface cooled with two extra cooling fans and has overload protection, so it is designed for long, continuous production runs.
Within the DK27 Turkish range, the LVST sits between the cast-steel LVT and the tungsten-carbide LVHT. Its special steel burrs grind a little faster than the LVT, while the LVHT gives the longest burr life. This is a special-order machine for roasters, packers and coffee manufacturers rather than a cafe grinder, so call us to confirm availability, lead time and the electrical configuration before ordering.

Key Features of the Mahlkonig DK27 LVST
⚙️ 180 mm special steel burrs
Large, fully hardened burrs are cut for an even Turkish-fine grind at production volume.
🏭 Around 180 kg per hour
Mahlkönig rates the LVST at about 180 kg/h of Turkish grind, enough to feed a packing line.
❄️ Cooled for continuous use
A surface-cooled motor with two additional cooling fans keeps temperatures in check over long runs.
🧲 Magnet in the hopper
A magnet in the bean hopper catches stray metal before it can reach and damage the burrs.
🎚️ Stepless grind adjustment
Fine, repeatable adjustment lets you hold the exact Turkish fineness your blend needs.
🛡️ Overload protection
Motor protection and service-free greased bearings reduce downtime on the production floor.
Choosing a DK27 Turkish Burr Material
All three Turkish DK27 models share the same body, motor and 180 mm burr size. What changes is the burr material, and that decides output and how long a set of burrs lasts.
- DK27 LVT: fully hardened cast steel burrs, about 170 kg/h, median burr life around 15 to 20 tonnes.
- DK27 LVST (this model): fully hardened special steel burrs, about 180 kg/h, median burr life around 10 to 15 tonnes.
- DK27 LVHT: tungsten carbide burrs, about 220 kg/h, median burr life around 35 to 40 tonnes.
The LVST suits a producer who wants slightly faster Turkish output than the LVT without stepping up to the price of carbide burrs. If you grind very high tonnages each year, the LVHT's longer burr life can be the better long-term buy.

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the LVST if you produce Turkish coffee at scale and want a bit more speed than the LVT. Don't bother with any DK27 if you're grinding for a cafe or a small retail counter; a deli grinder or the Ditting KR1403 is the right size.
Who This Grinder Is For
✓ Ideal if you:
- Run a roastery or packing line that sells Turkish coffee
- Need around 180 kg/h of consistent Turkish-fine grind
- Have a three-phase supply and floor space for a 155 kg machine
- Want stepless control over a very fine grind
- Need a grinder rated for continuous production
✗ Consider alternatives if you:
- Want maximum burr life for very high tonnage; see the DK27 LVHT
- Grind for a cafe or retail shop; see our deli grinders
- Only have single-phase power; a DK27 needs three-phase
- Need a smaller industrial grinder; see the Ditting KR1403
