5.0 MACHINE DESCRIPTION:

5.1 Process Equipment Description

The purpose of Multi Mill is to put substances in powdery form (bulk materials).

The multi-mill operates on the working principle of variable force swing the beaters having both knife & impact edges rotating within a selected screen to get the desired size reduction.

The material is to be charged into the hopper, it moves into the periphery of the screen with the help of the knife & impact edges the material passes through the screen radially & tangentially, thus avoiding the choking of the material in the chamber & rise in temperature. The processed material gets collected in the collection container below the screen chamber.
