Picozirk laboratory classifier mill
When grinding and classification work together perfectly, the result is products with precisely defined properties. The Picozirk classifier mill combines both process steps in a single system and ensures a sharp cut point, gentle grinding and reproducible results. Seamlessly integrated into the Picoline platform, it expands the range of applications to include additional process options.

- Grinding is carried out by a rapidly rotating disc with grinding tools. The ground material is dosed into the grinding container and accelerated by the grinding rotor. Comminution is achieved by particle impact on the grinding tools of the rotor and by impact on the grinding track.
- The grinding air flows from below through the grinding gap between the rotor and the grinding track and then through the classifier wheel located in the head of the mill.
- Due to the classifying effect of the classifying wheel, fine particles can escape from the grinder with the air and are separated in a filter. Coarser particles fall back onto the rotor and are crushed further until they have reached the desired fineness.
- The classifier mill is adjusted via the speeds of the grinding rotor and the classifier wheel as well as via the gas volume.
