Method of Operation
Unprocessed material is loaded into the product inlet of the Uni-Mill by hand, gravity feed or vacuum transfer. The material then passes into the milling chamber where a rotating impeller forces the unprocessed material through a stationery cone-shaped screen by a vortex action. The material is instantly reduced in size as it passes through the holes in the screen.
By changing a combination of screen, impeller shape and speed, the finished milled particle size can be carefully controlled. Most important for hygienic requirements, such as those in pharmaceutical and food production, there is no metal-to-metal contact between the impeller and screen.
