CoBall annular gap bead mill.At POWTECH 2013, 23–25 April, Nuremberg, Germany, Hall 6, Stand 452, FrymaKoruma will highlight its CoBall annular gap bead mill and MZ toothed colloid mill, which assist with achieving efficient processes and exceptional product quality.
FrymaKoruma’s CoBall annular gap bead mill is an in-line milling system, ideal for superfine grinding of APIs for ophthalmic medications and sterile ointments as well as numerous cosmetics and chemical applications. The CoBall mill’s unusually narrow milling chamber is filled between 50 and 80% with beads. Its milling power is high in relation to the very small chamber and the grinding energy input can be as much as 8 kW/dm3, therefore extremely homogeneous results and particle sizes on the nanoscale are possible.
Thanks to the conical geometry of the rotor-stator tool, the CoBall mill inputs the milling forces directly into the product. The residence time in the milling chamber is therefore significantly reduced. Despite the high energy input, the process temperature can be precisely controlled because the CoBall mill has a very efficient heat exchange surface. Cooling ducts in the rotor, stator and mill cover prevent the product from overheating.
The annular gap bead mill is also remarkably easy to clean owing to the small volume of the milling chamber. Practically no residues adhere to the interior if the product is changed. The gentle acceleration of the beads and the wear resistant coating of the process tool guarantee excellent results and high product quality.
The toothed colloid mills in the FrymaKoruma MZ series make sure every product is always milled to the correct size. The technology is especially suited for wet grinding liquid to highly viscous products for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries. With a choice of coarse, standard and cross-toothed tools, the processing process can be precisely adapted to the product in question. The milling gap can moreover be individually adjusted.
The mill is available in several different versions with product throughputs of between 100 and 40,000 l per hour. The engineers responsible for designing the mill paid particular attention to eliminating all dead spaces such as gaps, corners or slots from the interior. Residues are thus prevented from accumulating and the risk of contaminating subsequent batches can be ruled out. Finally, owing to the integration of CIP and SIP, MZ mills reportedly redefine the benchmarks for hygiene management.
