Ultra-fine pulverizer for aqua feed and pet food
Achieve precise granulation with high efficiency for your feed and food production. This technology integrates pulverizing, grinding, and classifying in a compact design, minimizing energy consumption while maximizing throughput. Ideal for those looking to optimize particle sizes across diverse recipes.
Pulverizes and Classifies Raw Materials Efficiently
The Pulverex 3 Series from Bühler is a high-efficiency pulverizer expertly designed to meet the rigorous demands of diverse industries such as animal feed, food ingredients, and advanced materials. What sets this equipment apart is its vertical shaft design, which incorporates a V-belt driven system that seamlessly integrates feeding, pulverizing, and classifying into a single, continuous process.
Ideal for applications ranging from aqua feed production to the creation of lithium battery anodes, this machine ensures precise granulation, offering operation ranges from 60 mesh to 200 mesh through in-operation adjustments of the classifying impeller. Capable of processing up to 15 tons per hour, the Pulverex 3 Series features a compact structure, optimized for energy efficiency by utilizing a specially designed classifying impeller and deflector hood to minimize air resistance.
Equipped with quick-access side doors for fast wear part replacement and a hydraulic top cover opening system, maintenance is streamlined, ensuring minimal downtime. The machine’s construction supports customization, material selections, and configurations to suit specific operational needs, backed by Bühler’s engineering support and innovation.
