Granulation and homogenization with bexmill Abm
Efficiently transform bulk materials through precise crushing and homogenization, optimizing flow characteristics and density while ensuring product uniformity in continuous production environments.
Crushes and Homogenizes Bulk Materials
The Bexmill ABM from Hosokawa Alpine is a versatile conical mill designed for the efficient crushing and homogenization of bulk materials. It enhances flowability and bulk density, ideal for applications in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing. Employing a conical grinding chamber, it ensures high speeds and consistent particle size distribution without opening the chamber. The Bexmill ABM is adept at processing a wide range of materials, from powdered milk to titanium dioxide pigment, achieving throughput rates from 10 to 10,000 kg/h. Its PLC-controlled operation allows seamless integration into existing production lines, accommodating both laboratory and industrial scale processes with quick tool change for ease of maintenance. Offered in stainless steel, this mill is compliant with FDA standards, ensuring compatibility for sensitive applications. Customizable configurations, including ATEX-compliant designs, cater to specific user needs.
