Energy-efficient impact classifier for superfine grinding
Achieve precise superfine grinding with energy efficiency, perfect for integrating seamless particle classification in powders and solids.

Grinds and Classifies Superfine Powders
The Impact Classifier Mill eXtra (ICX) from Neuman & Esser is designed for energy-efficient superfine grinding and classification. Based on the proven ICM technology, the ICX provides precise, flexible processing for industries such as chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals. This system supports continuous operations with a direct drive concept, eliminating the need for additional aggregates like air compressors, thus ensuring energy efficiency. Its robust construction and pressure shock resistance meet ATEX compliance, making it suitable for handling potentially explosive dusts, like those found in sugar or activated carbon black production. The ICX’s capabilities range from grinding materials with particle sizes of 0 to 10 mm and achieving throughput between 10 kg/h and 20,000 kg/h. The mill’s adaptable design includes a grinding chamber optimized for temperature-sensitive products, and it offers easy operation and maintenance with low noise emission. Customization options, such as configurable particle size limitation and material choices, ensure optimal performance across applications from cosmetic powders to industrial waxes.
