Multimill is used widely in pharmaceuticals (granulation section), cosmetics, chemicals, and bulk drugs for cutting granules into small particle sizes by using cutting, Pulverization, and hammering mechanisms.
Components of multi-mill:
1. Hopper inlet
The hopper is used to feed products to the mill.
2. Milling chamber
The milling chamber contains a screen to reduce particle size, and twelve milling and cutting edge blades and two scraper blades are responsible for milling.
3. Discharge point (chute)
These components are used for the collection of milled products.
4. Mechanical chamber and electrical chamber
This section is used to install all mechanical components like Gear, motor, moving belts, and electrical components like wiring, switches, and MCVs.
Principle and Mechanism of Multimill:
The principle involves variable force, rotating blades having both knife and sharp edges with validated screen size to reduce particles in a controlled manner. The mechanism involves the pulverization process (Pulverization is the grinding and crushing of materials into small particles). knife blades are used to cut the large particles into small size particles, that are generated during the FBD drying process. The hummer process is also used to break large particles into small sizes.
Speed Ranges of Multimill:
Multimill has a wide range of options for speeds to run. It can be operated from 720 to 2880 RPM (also depending on the make).
