Industrial fine grinding pulverizer

Achieve consistent fine granulation at high capacity with reduced energy consumption, utilizing a unique hybrid design that merges pulverizing efficiency with the versatility of traditional hammer mills, ideal for continuous operations.

Delivers Energy-Efficient Fine Grinding and Pulverizing

The Pulverex™ 5 Series from Bühler Group is a hybrid hammer mill and pulverizer engineered to enhance efficiency across diverse industrial applications. Maintaining the screen structure of a conventional hammer mill, it integrates pulverizer impact plates, ensuring very fine particle grinding at high throughput levels. Designed for continuous operation, it is ideal for an array of applications, delivering optimal performance in processing fish pellets, soy protein isolates, semiconductor wafers, and more. This machine efficiently handles up to several tons per hour, significantly reducing energy consumption through a hybrid design. Its robust construction features abrasion-resistant materials, with wear parts like impact plates absorbing most of the grinding, which minimizes maintenance downtime. Compatible with a wide range of materials, from food products to electronic materials, it ensures low wear and easy maintenance. Customizable options are available, supported by Bühler’s engineering expertise, to suit specific industry requirements.

Benefits
