Drum mills for fine grinding of large volumes
Achieve consistent and precise pulverization of large sample volumes with drum mills, optimizing particle size for enhanced material properties in R&D and production environments.
Pulverizes and Grinds Large Volumes Efficiently
The Drum Mill TM 300 and TM 500 from Retsch are robust solutions designed for fine grinding and pulverization in large volumes, crucial for chemical, pharmaceutical, and material science industries. Operating with either wet or dry processes, they efficiently reduce material feed sizes of up to 20 mm to final finenesses as low as 15 µm, depending on module choice. The drum mills are suitable for batch, pilot, and continuous operations, processing solids, powders, and slurries. Available drum sizes range up to 150 liters, ensuring flexibility for various production needs. Constructed from 316L steel, they offer superior corrosion resistance, essential for handling fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Their design integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, offering customization options for specific operational requirements while maintaining energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.
