conical mill

As the name implies, the conical mill varies in diameter from where the feed enters to where the product exits.

The conical mill operates by having the product being fed into the mill by gravity or vacuum.

The applications for a conical mill are varied, but trend towards use in the food, cosmetic, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries:

A conical mill (or conical screen mill) is a machine used to reduce the size of material in a uniform manner.

The concept of the conical mill was created in 1976 by the engineers of Quadro Engineering, who remains the foremost manufacturer of conical mills.

The conical mill has some marked advantages over the hammermill, especially in the pharmaceutical industry: low noise, heat and dust, a more uniform particle size, flexibility in design, and higher capacity.
