Quadro® Comil® / Products
Comil Overdriven

Innovative Technology For Size Reduction

Low Heat

  • Excellent for milling products with a low melting point and high fat content.

Low Dust

  • Savings on dust collection/explosion retention devices.
  • Minimal product loss.
  • Environmentally friendly.
Optimum Particle Distribution
  • Ability to achieve desired particle granulometry.

User-Friendly Design

  • Quick screen change.
  • Easy-clean, low maintenance.
  • Flexible feeding conditions - manual, mechanical or pneumatic.
  • Optimum results with plug/choke feeding.
  • Expensive auxiliary volumetric feed devices not necessary.

Versatility

  • Various screens and impellers with many specialized tools are available to accomplish any process requirements.

 


Principle of Operation

The infeed product is introduced into the conical screen chamber. A rotating impeller imparts a vortex flow pattern to the incoming material. The material is then forced to the screen surface by centrifugal acceleration, ensuring continuous delivery into the "action zone" between the screen and impeller. In the "action zone," the material is sized or size reduced and instantaneously discharged through the screen openings. The finished product is discharged at the bottom of the milling chamber. Particle size can be optimized by screen, impeller and/or speed selection.
