Contra-Selector Mill PPS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Contra-Selector Mill PPS and PPSR are specialized for pulverizing greasy, sticky, and moist products, as well as for grinding and drying materials in a single step. They are used across various sectors including foodstuffs, thickening agents, vegetables, grain milling products, fruits, spices, feedstuff, cellulose, cellulose ether, pharmaceutical products, and other materials.
Key Features: The mill features a rotating screen basket that prevents clogging and ensures continuous operation. It allows for flexible adaptation to different fineness demands through adjustments in rotational speed and screen perforations. The mill can operate in unidirectional or counter-rotating modes to achieve gentle or high-energy grinding.
Advantages: The Contra-Selector Mill offers cool and product-gentle grinding, safe continuous operation, no product caking, and the ability to grind and dry in a single step. It is easy to clean and maintain, with special designs available for different discharge methods and materials.
Installation Recommendations: Proper installation is crucial for optimum efficiency. Continuous material feeding is recommended using vibratory or screw conveyors. An aspiration system with a dust collector should be installed to manage airflow.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed technical specifications for various models, including scale-up factors, dimensions, motor recommendations, and weight.
Company Information: PALLMANN Group is a leading manufacturer of size reduction machines and systems, with a global presence and extensive research and technology centers. They offer a wide range of products and services, including engineering, service, and spare parts.

Contra-Selector Mill PPS-3

In order to achieve the necessary finenesses, small screen perforations are often necessary in the screen basket of the mill. When using conventional mills with stationary screen baskets, there is the risk of the screens clogging quickly and therefore variation of material fineness and caking to the interior wall of the housing. In such cases, safe and continuous pulverization is no longer possible. The Contra-Selector Mill offers an economical solution. The unique operation of the mill allows for reliable production. Additional areas of application are in the dry grinding field. The drive energy...

Contra-Selector Mill PPS-4

Outstanding technical solutions direction of the screen basket (counter-rotationalor unidirectional with the impeller) determines if gentle grinding or a high-energy transfer into the material to be ground is achieved. Unidirectional principle If the screen basket and the impeller rotate in the same direction (unidirectional principle), the relative velocity and thereby the impact load are reduced. This adjustment is chosen for gentle grinding if a product with a low percentage of fines is to be obtained. Unique method of operation The main characteristic of the mill is a rotating screen basket....

Easy cleaning The interior of the Contra-Selector Mill is easily accessible after opening the door of the mill and can be quickly cleaned and maintained. Special devices facilitate dismantling of the impeller and screen basket. Material feeding Even material feeding is necessary in order to achieve maximum capacity and constant quality. Depending on the material, different dosing systems are available such as vibratory feeders, rotary discs, screw-conveyors and belt feeders. We deliver the complete system, depending on the requirement. Special designs As a standard, the Contra-Selector Mill is...

Contra-Selector Mill PPS-6

Performing Systems Proper installation guarantees optimum machine efficiency Contra-Selector mills, type PPS and PPSR should always be fed by means of vibratory- or screw conveyors in order to guarantee continuous material feeding and optimum use of the installed electric power. It is recommended to install either a plateor a drum magnet or even better a metal separator between the conveyor and the material infeed. The airflow generated by the Contra-Selector mill, type PPS and PPSR should be taken care of by installing an aspiration system with dust collector. The mill can be installed on a...
