Impact classifier mill for fine grinding of brittle materials

Achieve precise particle size distribution with advanced grinding and classification technology, perfect for ensuring consistent quality in chemical, cosmetic, and food processing applications.

Grinds and Classifies Diverse Materials

The Impact Classifier Mill ICM from NEUMAN & ESSER delivers precision grinding coupled with flexible classification for a range of industrial applications. This equipment excels in its ability to produce narrow particle size distributions, with classification settings as fine as 10 μm, making it ideal for products ranging from cosmetic powders to activated carbon. The mill’s integrated classifier provides highly selective separation, recycling coarse materials back into the grinding chamber for further reduction. Operating with a direct-drive system, it ensures energy efficiency and reduced maintenance. The ICM can process up to 20,000 kg per hour, with a robust design suitable for continuous and high-speed operations. Optional pressure shock resistance up to 11 bar allows safe handling of materials prone to explosion. The mill’s construction offers easy cleaning and maintenance, suited to industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing where contamination control is crucial. Designed for customization, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, supporting both chemical producers and mineral processors with specific configuration needs.

Benefits
