As the name implies, the conical mill varies in diameter from where the feed enters to where the product exits.
Conical mills come in a variety of sizes from tabletop lab models to full-size high-capacity machines for use in processing large quantities of material, and the impeller and screen can be customized for each individual use.
The machines can be used not only to reduce the size of particles, but also for deagglomeration, sieving, dispersion, and mixing.
The applications for a conical mill are varied, but trend towards use in the food, cosmetic, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries: The conical mill has some marked advantages over the hammermill, especially in the pharmaceutical industry: low noise, heat and dust, a more uniform particle size, flexibility in design, and higher capacity.
The mill head can be mounted on a mobile lifter which allows for easy up and down movement for docking into containers, tablet presses and others.
