The Overdriven Comil is the Original Comil Conical Mill that was invented by Quadro in 1976. A truly versatile type of mill, not only designed for size reduction of powders but also for deagglomeration, dispersion, separating, reclaiming, and bulk density adjustments. It achieves accurate PSD (Particle Size Distribution) which is both controllable and repeatable, giving the assurance of a quality product every time.
As you will appreciate, with a product that has been around for so long, the Overdriven Comil® has been used across a wide range of applications, too numerous to mention all of them. The most common applications these days are:
It is a Conical Mill which is belt driven from the top – hence the name Overdriven - with the spindle and impeller directly below. This configuration allows for material to flow in at a 45 degree angle which helps reduce dust and helps with low-flow products. This design is a USDA approved design because any grease or potential contaminants will not be in the product flow.
Efficient processing is achieved as the flood-feeding capability means there are fewer restrictions on capacity. Capacities can run from 220 kg/h to 27,000 kg/h depending on the material and the conditions of manufacturing.
A variety of infeed chutes have been developed for a variety of applications; from spices to whey protein, from raisins to cheese, from powdered API to tablet reclaim.
It is the simplest, most economical cone mill to operate and maintain.
With the largest range of screens and impeller options from Quadro – this milling equipment will be able to serve you well over the years and adjust to the changing powder processing demands that face your business.
