AFS fine cutting mill
The Hosokawa Alpine AFS fine cutting mill grinds brittle and hard plastics economically into a fine powder, at consistently high product quality. It processes pre-shredded thermoplastics and thermosets with a particle size of 5–10 mm. Through multi-stage size reduction and classification, the AFS achieves fineness values of d50 = 300 µm and d90 = 700 µm, which can be flexibly matched to your product using additional screen decks.
Engineered down to the last detail
Technology highlights
The automated system delivers high throughput with minimal operator input. Four components make this possible:
- Precisely controlled metering from a large-volume feed hopper
- Automatic metal removal protects sensitive components
- Integrated process air cooling in a closed loop for continuous operation
- Alpine high-performance cyclone for maximum particle separation
