An industrial mill is used to transform solids into particles and reduce the size of the powder thus obtained. There are several types of industrial mills, each corresponding to specific needs.

Because of the cost of this equipment, it is best to purchase certified used industrial equipment. This article will help you in your choice by presenting the different types of industrial mills on the market, as well as their applications.

What types of industrial mills are there?

There are several types of industrial mills, depending on your needs. You can find :

Conical mills

Hammer mills

Fine-cut mills

Coarse cut mills

Wet grinding mills.

Conical mills, such as the COMIL brand, is equipment used to standardize the size of particles, sort or reduce them to a fixed size, and disaggregate particles, as well. The conical shape of the apparatus allows particles to be dispersed and ground to a range of sizes.

Hammer mills are composed of small hammers arranged along with the apparatus with a rotating shaft. Thus, the particles are repeatedly struck to be refined and then expelled through several sieves. SCHUTTE and FITZMILL hammer mills work in much the same way.

You can also choose between the fine-cut mills made by STEPHAN or rough cut mills by RIETZ. Depending on your choice, the particles will be more or less refined. These brands also allow grinding more humid, pasty mixtures or liquids, as the BEPEX brand wet grinding mill manufacturer confirms.

What applications are there for industrial mills?

All these types of industrial mills can serve you in several areas, namely:

- Food

- Pharmaceuticals

- Cosmetics

- Fine chemistry

- Waste management, etc.

The implications differ depending on the device and the industry. One of the most affected sectors is food in general, and agri-food in particular. In the agri-food sector, deagglomeration machines enable product washing, as well as screening and milling.

Fine-cut mills help dominate the sector of prepared or consumed foods, such as the market for pâtés, sausages, and purees. Such is also the case with wet grinding mills used for meat, vegetables, and other products to be consumed.

In the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, and cosmetics industries, conical mills enable efficient sorting of different particles and following safety standards. Hammer mills also allow you to choose the size of the resulting components for various products useful in the field.

Industrial waste management can be carried out using hammer mills and wet milling, depending on the type of waste and its consistency. These are the most well-known implementations of mills in industrial settings.
