New development for a proven system - Condux® impact mill with integrated classifier
7 Jul 2023The newly designed version of the Condux® impact mill is equipped with a grinding disk with grinding path as well as an integrated dynamic air classifier. It can be used particularly efficiently whenever the desired final fineness cannot be guaranteed with conventional screenless pin mills or blast mills with screens. This version of the Condux® combines high fineness (< 30 µm) and exact upper particle limit in an easy-to-clean and low-maintenance system.
Equipping
modern production facilities with flexible process systems offers numerous
advantages. For example, it is possible to react quickly to new market and
product requirements, and the acquisition of only one system leads to immense
space and cost reductions. However, it must be possible to guarantee automatic
process adaptation or rapid replacement of mechanical components on the plant
during daily operation.
NETZSCH
recognised this trend years ago and designed a modular system in the area of
dry grinding with the Condux® impact mill series, which can accommodate up to 4
rotor types by means of application-specific housing designs. In addition, the
simple housing design makes the mill easier and faster to clean compared to
conventional designs. Likewise, a repeatedly expressed customer wish has been
met by a narrower gradation of the sizes in the smaller range. Equipped with
different grinding tools and stators, a product-optimised mill is now available
that can also be used in pressure-shock-resistant or inert-gas systems and in
cryogenic grinding.
NETZSCH
has now launched another version of the proven Condux® with an integrated
dynamic air classifier. This is used when the desired final fineness cannot be
achieved with conventional sieve-less pin or blower mills with sieve insert.
With the new Condux® variant, a variable setting of the separation limit is
easily achieved by adjusting the classifier wheel height. This results in an
exact upper particle size limitation of the product during grinding in the
range < 50 µm.
In
contrast to conventional classifier mills, the grinding disc and classifier
wheel are connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner and are
operated by a common drive motor. This considerably reduces the investment
costs of the plant and enables economical ultra-fine grinding.
All in
all, the Condux® impact mill is the ideal, highly flexible solution for
grinding many products from the industrial sectors of food, cellulose
derivatives, animal feed, chemicals and plastics with particle sizes < 50
µm.
Application examples for the Condux® impact mill with dynamic air
classifier
Grinding of granulated sugar into powdered
sugar
Starting
from a feed size of 0.8 - 2 mm, the sugar is ground in the mill to a size of 20
- 50 µm. Depending on the application and stabilisation, the powdered sugar is
either packaged after grinding or directly processed further.
Ultra-fine grinding of various press cakes
for
example from sunflower seeds, almonds and various oilseeds. Coarsely
pre-crushed pellets or "flakes" up to 2 cm can be fed directly into
the Condux®.
Various pre-crushed spices
with a
feed size of approx. 2-3 mm are ground with the Condux® to sizes below 0.5 mm
and used, for example, as seasonings in various ready-to-eat meals such as instant
soups, pizzas or paellas. Depending on the type of seasoning, the mill is used
in the version with pin discs, blast rotors or wing beaters.
