Picocrush laboratory hammer mill
Reliable pre-comminution lays the foundation for successful downstream processes. The Picocrush laboratory hammer mill processes larger granules and agglomerates efficiently and in a controlled manner, thereby ensuring optimal conditions for development, testing and production. Seamlessly integrated into the Picoline platform, it expands the range of applications to include additional process options.

- The ground material is dosed into the centre of two counter-rotating pin discs and crushed by impact against the grinding pins.
- The high shear rate of the counter-rotating discs enables particularly intensive stressing of the particles.
- After passing through the grinding zone, the ground material enters the mill housing and exits the mill by gravity.
- The rotation creates an air flow from which the ground material is separated in a filter.
- The grinder is adjusted by the speed of the two rotors and the feed rate.
