Versatile cone mill for uniform size reduction

Achieve precise particle size consistency and gentle deagglomeration across diverse materials, ensuring optimal product quality and efficient downstream processing without excess heat or noise.

Mills and Grinds Materials with Precision

The KEK Cone Mill from Kemutec is a versatile milling machine that stands out for its ability to produce uniform and consistent particle sizes across a wide range of materials. This cone mill is ideal for intermediate sizing in both wet and dry granulation processes, making it suitable for the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. With a gentle, low-energy grinding action, the KEK Cone Mill minimizes noise, heat generation, and dust, significantly reducing air filtration installation costs.

Its advanced design includes variable speed control and multiple drive configurations, offering flexibility in operation. The mill’s adaptable structure allows for integration into continuous production lines, and it can handle a variety of end-products such as dextrose tablets, detergent granules, and dye blends. The KEK Cone Mill supports efficient processing with models catering from bench-top to full-scale production capacities, including an explosion-proof CM800 model. Customized design options and a fully immersible cleaning feature ensure easy maintenance and alignment with specific processing requirements.
