Fine cutting mill for soft to medium-hard plastics
In the plastics industry, precise and efficient size reduction of materials is crucial. When dealing with materials that need to be finely grounded without compromising their inherent properties, a specialized grinding solution is essential.
Achieve fine grinding of plastics
The Alpine AFS fine cutting mill, by Hosokawa Alpine, is designed for the fine grinding of soft to medium-hard plastics, creating an end-product with smooth cubic shapes and excellent flow properties. The mill is characterized by its progressive grinding mechanism, which features a tapered grinding gap from the inside to the outside, ensuring high throughput at low specific energy consumption. The grinding disc, with its optimized tooth geometry, minimizes maintenance and wear while providing consistent product quality. It allows for temperature and filling level measurement within the grinding chamber, ensuring efficient and high-quality production. This equipment is suitable for both virgin materials and product from a granulator, making it versatile for various applications in the plastics industry. Moreover, for heat-sensitive materials, it can be operated in cryogenic mode, adding to its flexibility.
