Hosokawa Alpine Fluid Bed Opposed Jet Mill - AFG

Relying purely on particle-to-particle attrition in the centre of a fluidised bed of material, this is achieved by focusing three or more compressed gas nozzles into the milling chamber which accelerates the particles to produce collisions where energy is released causing particle breakdown.

Features / Benefits

• Consumes less energy than other conventional jet mills.

• Machine Range consists of 13 standard machine sizes with nominal air volumes of 50 to 1120 m³/hr, with four variants ensuring customised system modifications for specific applications.

• Operates with a minimum of wear.

• If required can produce "iron free" ultrafine powders.

• Noise emission less than 85 dB(A).
