Mill It. Grind It. Size It. Calibrate It.
The Hanningfield Cone Mill Uni-Mill U-Series utilises the current industry standard under-driven cone mill design, featuring a gearbox-driven impeller, rotating inside a screen.
Our cone mill under-driven models are designed with an optimal, spacer-less gap (to avoid metal-to-metal contact) which offers a major benefit compared with over-driven conical mills where the distance between the screen and impeller has to be set manually using spacers (gap setting). This makes tooling changes on under-driven conical mills faster and easier by guaranteeing the closest possible gap. Every time.
There are a number of other benefits to our under-driven cone mill including the presence of in-line inlet and outlets offering higher throughput, a more compact design and improved sanitary construction.
All Hanningfield cone mills are available with a range of screen and impeller tooling. With guidance from our team of experts, we can help to select the correct cone mill screen for you to achieve your desired final particle size(s) and throughputs. Cone mills are typically suitable for size reduction down to ~ 150 microns (80 mesh) with minimal heat generation. Our cone mills are suitable for both dry and wet milling applications.
