Vertical colloid mill for emulsifying and homogenizing
Optimize your production line with precise particle size reduction and mixing, ensuring unmatched consistency in emulsions and suspensions for high-quality end products.
Processes and Homogenizes Liquids and Slurries
The Colloid Mill Type O from Probst & Class is designed for versatile processing in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and cosmetics. Operating with a vertical, enclosed motor, this mill utilizes hydraulic and mechanical forces within an adjustable stator-rotor gap, ensuring precise homogenization of liquids, slurries, and pastes. Capable of processing up to 34,000 liters per hour, it excels in de-agglomeration, emulsification, and micro-comminution tasks.
The Type O mill adapts seamlessly into batch and in-line operations, supported by optional features like heated/cooled housing and ATEX certification for explosive environments. Constructed with stainless steel options meeting GMP and FDA standards, it accommodates stringent pharmaceutical and food production requirements. Additionally, the unit is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, available with various mechanical seals and custom engineering support to meet specific process needs. Automation options include frequency converters and integration into existing production lines via advanced control systems.
