Grinding FK We differentiate between: Wet Grinding Dry Grinding u Dispersing 3 Pharma/Cosmetics

Wet Grinding FK Grinding u Crushing of solid matters, crystals or fibres in small parts in a fluid, e. g. active substances, colour pigments 4 Pharma/Cosmetics

Wet Grinding FK Dispersing u destroying of agglomerates, wetting and homogeneous dispersing in a fluid, e. g. toothpaste, lipstick Emulsifying u merging of two not mixable fluids (oil, water) under the effect of shear forces, turbulences and an emulsifier e. g. ointments, body cream 5 Pharma/Cosmetics

Characterisation u Effect of mechanical forces Different products are milled on our mills by impact, pressure, shear forces, cutting or friction u Resistability - hard-elastic, fibrous fruit flesh, coconut flesh, aloe vera plants - hardness of crystalline parts up to mohs hardness 9. 5 6 Pharma/Cosmetics FK

Co. Ball Mill FK Finest grinding down to the Nano range < 0. 5 µ Adjusting Possibilities u Rotor speed u Diameter of grinding beads and grinding gap (rotor). u Material of grinding beads (spec. weight) u Degree of beads filling u Capacity u Product temperature u Product viscosity (contents of dry substances) 24 Pharma/Cosmetics

Co. Ball Mill FK MS-12 MS-50 25 Pharma/Cosmetics

FK Co. Ball Mill Advantages u Narrow grinding gap (four times beads diameter) high energy density narrow grain spectrum u Optimum cooling, all surfaces rotor, stator, lid coolable u Smooth grinding elements resistant to wear, no pins, naps etc. 26 Pharma/Cosmetics

FK Co. Ball Mill u Products from fluid to very viscous can be processed u Cleaning, sterilizing and drying without emptying of grinding beads u Small grinding chamber volume - Little remnants at product change - Quick cleaning, little consumption of cleaning material - Easy and efficient change of products 27 Pharma/Cosmetics
