Hosokawa Alpine AG has expanded its range of multi-processing systems to include the UPZ 100 III fine impact mill.
Thanks to a newly developed universal mounting solution, it can now be seamlessly integrated.
The company thus guarantees maximum flexibility in the development of new products whose grinding properties cannot be reliably predicted in advance.
As product development often involves switching between different mill types or, for example, integrating a classifier or a classifier mill into the process, the use of several separate systems impairs the efficiency of the production process and also requires a great deal of space.
“Our multi-processing systems have proven to be the ideal solution for these requirements in practice,” explained Andre Voges, head of sales pharma at Hosokawa Alpine.
This is because these mobile and extremely flexible system concepts integrate different types of mills into a single system periphery.
Hosokawa Alpine thus implements different grinding processes on a single platform – flexibly, efficiently and in a space-saving manner, as the required units can be changed quickly and easily.
The multi-processing system has so far enabled up to seven different mill types to be connected to a single system periphery.
With the integration of the UPZ 100 III fine impact mill, Hosokawa Alpine has now expanded the range of applications for the multi-processing system to include a further option.
The Ultraplex UPZ 100 III fine impact mill is used for particle sizes ranging from 50 µm to 5 mm and for grinding soft to medium-hard materials up to a Mohs hardness of 3.
It can be operated as a screenless pin mill or as an impact mill with an impact disc, pendulum beaters or plate beaters. Material is fed centrally via a mill door that swings open wide, facilitating easy tool changes and quick cleaning.
