CONCEPTS FOR TODAY

AND TOMORROW

Our strategy is to supply grinding and classifying

systems to powder coating manufacturers

which deliver high-quality powders that

meet the stringent specifications. During

development, we pay special attention to

ensure that the systems and components are

easy to operate, clean and maintain.

When it comes to the production of powder coatings, chips

need to be ground and classified to meet specifications. We

offer you the ideal solution in the form of time-proven mikro

acm grinding and classifying systems, meanwhile installed

over a thousand times all around the world!

In close cooperation with our customers, we

constantly enhance and refine the design of

our machines. We gave the grinding media

a new geometry, for example, to pay tribute

to the difficult properties of the new TGIC-

free qualities. And our systems are already

equipped even for future formulations of

low-temperature powder coatings.

SYSTEM

The entire grinding-classifying system is

pressure-shock-proof to 11 bar overpressure

and is ATEX-certified. In the event of a dust

explosion, the installed explosion venting

valves prevent the pressure wave and flame

front from propagating to the environment.

Together with the split-body-design cyclone,

the Mikro ACM EC (Easy Clean) classifier

mill has a minimum space requirement that

permits a compact set-up. It is suitable for

either cyclone or classifier operation. The

cyclone is mounted on a turntable, thus

allowing an effortless and quick change

between both operating modes by simply

switching the product pipe from classifier

to cyclone. The screening and packaging

unit is also mobile and can be wheeled into

position.

PROCESS

The product (chips) is supplied to the

feed station from a container or direct

from the extruder. A rotary valve meters

the feed material via an injector into the

conveying air stream. The air needed for

the grinding process is prepared to suit the

process requirements by an air conditioner

comprising a filter, cooler and drop collector.

The intake air is usually cooled to < 15°C

to ensure a cool and gentle size reduction

process.

ACCESSORIES ROUND

OFF THE CONCEPT

We also offer innovative system components

designed to make production more

efficient:

- Mikro Inject: reduces the additive

requirement by up to 50%

- Mikro Classifier: the latest development

stage with excellent precision of cut and

compact design for optimum product

yield and quality

- Optimised cyclone geometry and use

of flap valves reduce product loss

- Process visualisation and system control:

with recipe management and data archiving

to improve quality control and increase

system efficiency

- 2-component metering by means of rotary

valves saves on an external mixer

OUR SERVICE

We test your products in our application

testing centre to find the optimum

operating parameters for you, and in the

case of new systems, the optimum system

size. We deliver complete turnkey systems

to include installation, commissioning and

personnel training. Our after-sales service

guarantees optimum support and technical

advice. Our spare parts service delivers the

necessary parts over the entire lifetime of

your system.
