Product catalog summary

Overview: The document presents the Sugarplex, a compact and efficient grinding system designed specifically for the sugar industry. It highlights the system's space-saving design, low energy consumption, and compliance with safety standards.

Key Features:

Space-saving design with a system height of less than 2,500 mm.
Low capital investment and energy consumption.
Airless concept eliminating the need for filters, air conditioning, or cooling.
ATEX-compliant and pressure-shock-proof up to 10 bar (g).
GMP-compliant with optional additive dosing.

Applications: The Sugarplex is ideal for producing finely ground sugar for instant beverages and confectionery. It is also suitable for grinding products with high flow rates and potentially explosive properties within a temperature range of 30-60°C.

Technical Specifications:

Throughput ranges from 1,000 kg/h to 2,800 kg/h depending on fineness.
Mill drive power varies from 11 kW to 75 kW across different models.

Operation Principle: The system uses a rotary valve to feed coarse sugar into the grinding zone, where two pin discs perform the grinding. The design allows for easy inspection and cleaning, with a special seal to prevent contamination.
