Cone Mill for Size Reduction

Increase productivity and improve production versatility and reliability across a wide array of dry milling and wet conditioning applications with conical milling.

Cone milling is one of the most common methods of milling in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical and associated industries.  They are typically used for size reduction and deagglomeration or delumping of powders and granules. 

Generally used for reducing material to a particle size as low as 180µm (80 mesh) a cone mill produces less dust and heat than alternative forms of milling.  The gentle grinding action and quick discharge of correctly sized particles ensure tight particle size distributions (PSDs) are achieved. 

Reassuring Milling Experience

Quadro Engineering invented the original cone or conical mill in 1976. Though simple in principle, the Comil^® was a revolutionary concept that has since evolved into a global processing standard adopted by market leaders around the world.  

The Cone Mill is typically used for some of the following common applications:

• Sizing wet granulated particles before drying
• Sizing dry granules before the tableting stage
• Reclaiming - broken tablets, broken biscuits are ground back into their powder form before being re-formed.
• Delumping dry detergent during production
• Deagglomerating dried fruits - raisins, cranberries
