Recent Project: Highly Customised ATEX Conical Mill

At Hanningfield, we have over three decades experience in supplying solutions to process challenges. We are often approached by customers who require a modified design to achieve their desired process results. As new equipment is often retrofitted to an existing process line, it needs to be compatible with current equipment, room restrictions and factory layout. Therefore, not all processes can be satisfied with an off-the-shelf solution. 

A recent project for a leading pharmaceutical customer involved integrating our Uni-Mill M10-U cone mill into an inline process. This is a great example of how we are able to work with customers to deliver a bespoke solution.

The highly specialised system, which was designed for in-line bin-to-bin milling, featured ATEX Zone 0/20 internal and ATEX Zone 1/21 external. The unit included nitrogen purging with an O2 level monitor. The mill is situated on a mobile frame with manual raise/lower function for ease of height adjustment. High containment is achieved via split valves on the inlet and outlet to maintain high integrity connections to the discharge bin. Also included was Wet in Place spray balls to aid cleaning and eliminate airborne dust.
