Double working power immersion basket mill
Dual Force double working power immersion Basket Mills are outstanding energy-efficient and ultra-fine grinding machines.
This system is designed taking advantage of the double force of two independent engines with separate drives for grinding and mixing. The special design allows to optimize product circulation inside the vessel taking care of different flow behavior without changing the grinding maximum allowed speed.
Equipped with an energy-efficient grinding chamber and two lateral agitators, they can grind large batches up to 1500 lt and reduce total energy consumption, grinding time and the number of microspheres used compared to similar machines.
