Multiprocessing system for flexible research and production
Optimize your process development with a versatile system that seamlessly adapts to multiple milling and classifying tasks, offering unparalleled flexibility and precision for small-batch research or pilot-scale production. Transform complex production challenges into streamlined, scalable solutions.
Processes and Classifies Diverse Material Types Efficiently
The Alpine Multiprocessing System from Hosokawa Alpine is an innovative solution designed to handle a wide range of material processing tasks with unmatched versatility and efficiency. What sets this system apart is its ability to integrate multiple mill types into one mobile and compact unit, allowing seamless transitions between grinding and classifying processes. This system is ideal for applications in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and recycling industries, producing end-products like titanium dioxide pigment, lithium-ion battery components, and lactose powders.
The operational principle relies on a modular design with interchangeable mill types, enabling R&D and pilot-scale operations to execute various processes such as grinding, milling, and compacting with ease. With the capability to support both small R&D labs and large-scale production facilities, this system ensures scalability and flexibility in production.
Automation is facilitated through a PLC-controlled interface, allowing precise control and integration into existing production lines. Built for efficiency, the system features energy-optimized motor controls that reduce power consumption, and it is constructed from high-quality materials that ensure durability and resistance to corrosion.
Compliant with GMP standards, the system provides easy cleaning and maintenance solutions, minimizing downtime with quick changeovers and clean-in-place options. Customizable features and engineering support offer tailored solutions to meet specific production needs, making the Alpine Multiprocessing System a versatile powerhouse in material processing.
