Comil Performance

To improve the flow of this oily product through the Comil, Quadro’s Engineers applied a special *Q-coating* on the contact surfaces of the Comil. The contact surface area was also reduced by using our Comil with an outboard spindle assembly design. The screen required for the blush powder was different from that required for the face powder, due to the difference in the oil content. In both cases, the binders were dispersed to specifications (without any oil spots on the compact). Changing screens on a Comil takes less than 3 minutes. The Comil ran very quietly (75dBA) and can be cleaned in less than 20 minutes. The Comil can also be cleaned very easily in the processing area, which the customer preferred (unlike the pulverizer which had to be cleaned in a wash down area).

Summary

The Comil provided an excellent dispersion of binders at a much higher capacity, with much less dust and noise generated. The changeover time was improved by more than 75%.
