fine cutting mill

The feed material, which is usually 4 to 8 mm in size, enters the grinding zone via the inlet chute at the mill door. There it is ground between the axially adjustable stator disc and the grinding disc rotating at high peripheral speed according to the shear-cutting principle. The grinding takes place in stages via a grinding gap that narrows from the inside to the outside. The finely ground product leaves the grinding zone through a precisely defined gap.

Where an exact top grain limit is required, the mill can be operated in a circuit with a suitably designed screening machine. The oversize is returned directly to the grinding zone. Most plastics can be finely ground at ambient temperature using this technology. Cold grinding is used for temperature-sensitive substances.

features

  • One-piece grinding discs optimized in terms of application, wear and tear and maintenance with a wide variety of tooth geometries
  • High throughput with low specific energy consumption
  • Grinding tool change in a few minutes
  • Quick and easy access to the grinding chamber for cleaning and maintenance
  • Reliable high-speed precision bearings.
  • Compact and stable design, optionally made of nodular cast iron or welded construction
  • Largely automated mode of operation via regulated dosing of regrind
  • Temperature and filling level measurement in the grinding chamber to ensure consistently high product quality

possible applications

ALPINE fine cutting mills of the type AFS are used for the fine grinding of soft to medium-hard plastics in the fineness range from a few hundred µm to 2 mm. It doesn’t matter whether the product is fresh or ground material from cutting mills. The end product achieved is characterized by a smooth, cubic shape with very good flow properties and therefore optimal further processing.
