Cone mill for size reduction

Achieve precise particle size reduction and deagglomeration with minimal heat generation, ensuring consistent product quality and optimized flowability for critical processing stages.

Reduces Particle Size and Deagglomerates Powders

The Comil, a conical milling solution from Quadro Engineering, specializes in precise particle size reduction and deagglomeration, integral to pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. It operates by rotating an impeller vertically, pushing materials across a mill screen to create a consistent cut at a low velocity. This method ensures a controlled particle size distribution, crucial for preparing APIs, oral solid dose tablets, vitamins, and laundry detergents.

Capable of handling various production scales—from lab setups to high-capacity operations—this versatile machine reduces dust and heat, minimizing explosion risk. It can be seamlessly integrated into existing processing lines with its adaptable mounting options, including mobile lifter frames and wall-mounted configurations. The equipment is available in stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion, and complies with GMP and FDA standards, making it suitable for sensitive pharmaceutical applications.

With minimized energy consumption, the Comil employs low RPM and noise design, enhancing workforce safety and production efficiency. Maintenance is straightforward, thanks to its easy-cleaning features, supporting CIP processes. Quadro offers a wide array of customizable impellers and screens, allowing tailored solutions for specific material characteristics and production goals.
