Explosion-proof basket mill for fine grinding
Achieve efficient and safe fine grinding with this innovative explosion-proof basket mill, designed to enhance processing capabilities for low and medium viscosity products while ensuring compliance with ATEX safety standards.
Efficiently Mills and Disperses Fine Particles
The TORUSMILL® SK4-EX from VMA-GETZMANN is an ATEX-compliant immersion mill designed for safe and precise milling in explosive environments. What sets this equipment apart is its integrated, patented pump wheel and dissolver disc, ensuring efficient milling with minimal dead volumes. It is ideal for applications in agrochemicals, coatings, batteries, and more, producing uniform pigments, slurries, and other fine dispersions.
With a processing capacity for containers up to 750 liters, this immersion mill features electric height adjustment, making it adaptable to various production needs. Its energy efficiency is enhanced by a variable-speed motor, reducing energy consumption. Available with a double-walled milling basket, it offers excellent heat dissipation and is compatible with cooling and heating systems.
The TORUSMILL® SK4-EX is made of robust materials suitable for harsh chemical conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability. Certified under ATEX protection class II 2G, it meets stringent safety requirements for use in potentially explosive dust and gas atmospheres. Optional features include ceramic design, speed adjustment through a rotary pulse encoder, and process control with C-TECHNOLOGY, providing repeatable dispersion results. With easy-to-clean components and minimal maintenance demands, it stands out as a versatile and efficient milling solution.
