FINE IMPACT MILLS UPZ THE UNIVERSAL SYSTEMS HOSOKAWA MICRON wear protection ALUMINIUM OxiDE Whether for the laboratory or for high throughput rates, the 100 - 1400 UPZ product line is suitable for any task. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Alpine Ultraplex UPZ fine impact mills offer versatility in use combined with simplicity in operation. Because of the wide variety of feed materials, where every comminution task demands its own tailor-made solution, the UPZ mills can be equipped with a variety of easily interchangeable milling elements. Tough-fibrous roots and spices, for example, require completely...

APPLICATION AREAS HOSOKAWA MICRON UPZ fine impact mills are technically mature, reliable and universal in use. UPZ fine impact mills are universal in operation for the size reduction of soft materials up to 3 on the Mohs scale. The product is fed centrally via the mill door. The machine housing is designed to accommodate all the different milling elements. The fineness is adjusted by selection of the corresponding size reduction elements and as a function of the machine speed; the belt pulley needs to be exchanged in the case of the larger machine sizes. Smaller machines are often driven using...

iM. CRYOGENIC MILLING SYSTEMS Some materials are not easy to grind because they are tough and elastic. Amongst these are thermoplastics, elastomers, waxes, paint additives and even some metals. Over and above this, the risk of oxidation and even dust explosion is always present. Cryogenic milling eliminates these problems. The feed material is cooled down to the glass transition temperature with supercooled liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide and is thus embrittled. This is necessary because of the elastic-viscous characteristic of some products. The requisite amount of energy needed to reach the...

It is used in foodstuffs such as sauces, soups and confectionery products and also as an excipient in the pharmaceuticals industry. Special micronised qualities are used as carriers in inhalants (DPIs). Discharged normally from spray-driers or fluidised-bed driers, the lactose must be processed gently under the highest...

SUGAR MILLING Singled out for description here are the milling of saccharose and modified (mostly thermally treated) starch. The system design for sugar and starch milling is identical. The systems are offered in pressure-shock-proof or pressure-relieved design to comply with Example of a system in pressure-shock-proof design to 10 bar overpressure with UPZ fine impact mill and internal air/gas circuit.

HOSOKAWA MICRON CORK GRANULES Because cork is extremely compressible, elastic, insulating, flame-retarding and as a natural product, is moreover eco-friendly, cork is becoming increasingly popular as a floor covering, as a noise and heat insulation material or for special applications (seals, polishing discs, vibration dampers, etc.). However, it is also exactly these excellent properties that make cork so difficult to grind mechanically. Such a tough and elastic product cannot be comminuted by impact force alone. A cutting-rasping force must predominate. Although an extremely difficult task...
