Conical milling for high-efficiency particle sizing
Maximize efficiency in your production line with conical milling technology that provides precise particle size distribution while minimizing heat generation and energy consumption.
Processes Powders for Size Reduction and Deagglomeration
The Overdriven Comil® series by Quadro Engineering offers an innovative solution for efficient milling and powder processing. Designed with a conical milling principle, it handles a range of size reduction and deagglomeration tasks across various industries, such as pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food processing. These machines support applications including the production of tablets, granola bars, protein powders, and industrial chemicals, ensuring uniform particle sizes and consistent bulk density. With models like the 197, 194, 196, and 198, these mills accommodate varying capacities, from R&D to large-scale production, and feature low energy requirements due to their gentle, low-speed design. Built with compliance in mind, the equipment adheres to cGMP standards and ATEX certification for safe use in explosive environments. Customizable with an extensive selection of screens and impellers, they offer seamless integration into existing production lines, enhanced by their robust construction and ease of cleaning for reduced maintenance downtime.
