BENEFITS

The Underdriven Cone Mill Comil® Series

 

High-capacity throughput cone mill with a compact design.

The Quadro® Comil® Underdriven Series has a compact, inline design with a short head height which allows for easy integration into powder milling and processing environments. It offers productivity improvements from world-leading technology. 

With a small footprint, inline design, and extremely short head height it can be easily integrated into processing environments where space is limited. A large-diameter infeed and “straight-through” housing promote unhindered inline product flow for quicker discharge, and therefore higher throughput, improving productivity.

Available in five models, the Underdriven Comil is scalable in capacity from several ounces (grams) to 35,000 lb/hr (15,900 kg/hr). The innovative spacer less design allows for quick changeover of impellers and screens. Plus, specialized tooling is available to meet all process requirements including handling heat-sensitive products.

We can help you choose the right screen and impeller.
