High-pressure roller compactors for chemical, food, and minerals industries
Achieve precise particle compaction and briquetting with robust, energy-efficient high-pressure rollers, enhancing flow properties and reducing dust across a seamless production line.
Compacts and Briquettes Diverse Materials Efficiently
The Series ARC MS and ARC CS Kompaktor Roller Presses, engineered by Hosokawa Alpine, deliver exceptional compaction and briquetting capabilities tailored for diverse industries such as chemicals, food, and recycling. Utilizing counter-rotating rollers, these machines press fine powders into solid forms like flakes and briquettes, with the ARC MS equipped to handle abrasive materials as a high-pressure roller mill. The ARC MS boasts a through-put of 0.5 to 250 tons per hour, while the ARC CS is ideal for smaller production quantities of up to 0.8 tons per hour, featuring quick tool changes and flexible adaptation to production conditions. Both series enhance production lines by improving material flow properties and reducing dust. They offer energy-efficient processes, support various feed methods, and are available in ATEX-certified, dust-tight, and gas-tight configurations for inert operation. Components in contact with products are made from stainless steel or special wear-resistant materials, ensuring longevity and compatibility. Customization options and configuration support further adapt these systems to specific operational needs.
