Roller press for fine-grained material compaction
Achieve optimal density and stability in your solid press agglomerates with our advanced roller press, designed for precise compaction of fine-grained materials, enhancing flow properties and minimizing dust pollution in continuous and pilot processing operations.
Compacts and Forms Solid Agglomerates
The Series ARC MS, ARC CS, APC L, APC C, and ARC K from Hosokawa Alpine Compaction are engineered for efficient powder compaction and solid agglomerate formation. Employing counter-rotating rollers, these machines enhance material properties by applying precise compressive forces, ideal for industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. With capacities ranging from 150 kg/h to 1 t/h, they seamlessly integrate into continuous operations, supported by flexible automation options including PLC controls.
Notably, the equipment supports energy efficiency with optional roll cooling and electromechanically adjustable roll gaps during operation. Available in stainless steel, they ensure corrosion resistance and are FDA-compliant for food-grade applications. The integrated flake crusher facilitates particle size customization, while the optional vacuum de-aeration and WIP design ensure effective cleaning and maintenance. Custom configurations are available, backed by expert engineering support for optimized production.
