Immersion mill with sweep blade for high-viscosity products
Optimize your production line with this immersion mill designed to efficiently handle high-viscosity and heat-sensitive products, ensuring thorough dispersion and milling while minimizing manual intervention.
Processes High Viscosity and Thixotropic Products
The HCPS Immersion Mill with Sweep Blade from Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation is engineered to handle the unique challenges of processing high viscosity and thixotropic products. Utilizing a patented sweep blade design, it ensures improved deagglomeration and heat transfer by compressing and scraping materials against the tank wall. The mill processes viscosities from 900 to 2 million cps, accommodating media sizes from 0.1 to 2.0 mm, making it suitable for applications ranging from adhesives and silicone sealants to pharmaceutical ointments and cosmetic creams. Its design facilitates a one-step milling process, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing safety compared to traditional 3-roll mills.
The HCPS Immersion Mill is available in various models to suit different batch sizes, with capacities ranging from small-scale lab setups to industrial scale production. It integrates easily into existing production lines, featuring minimal operator interaction through PLC control for enhanced efficiency and safety. Additionally, the system allows for quick clean-up and batch flexibility, optimizing your production workflow while maintaining rigorous quality standards across chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries.
