OVERDRIVEN PROCESS MILL
The Quadro® Comil® Overdriven Series offers high capacities, narrow particle size distributions and less waste. It has a track record for high-efficiency inline processing that is unequalled across a vast range of industries.
The Overdriven Comil® is the original conical mill, invented by Quadro® in 1976, for size reduction, deagglomeration and dispersion, separating and reclaiming, and bulk density adjustments. Typical applications include:
- Granulation of dry powders
- Size reducing and milling of wet or soaked products to produce liquid with wet suspended particulates
- Powders into paste
- Wet blending
- Uniform sizing of wet granulation in tablet manufacturing
- Lump-free homogenous blending to precise size requirements
- Reducing sticky agglomerates into uniform-size powders
- Reclaiming products
The Overdriven is the simplest and most economical Comil® to maintain and operate. Available in five models, the Overdriven has the widest capacity range: up to 120,000 lb/hr (54,500 kg/hr). And with the largest number of screen and impeller options in the market and many specialized tools, you can achieve almost any process requirements.
BENEFITS
- Low RPM/Low Noise low speed design applies an inherently gentle action to the product
- Low Energy/Low Heat Limited or no heat is generated, making the Overdriven the perfect choice for milling heat-sensitive products
- 360° Positive Product DischargeMaximizes throughput as entire screen surface is utilized within milling chamber
- Choke / Flood Fed recommended for most Comil® applications; however, this is product/process dependent
- Low DustEliminates the need for dust collection/explosion retention devices; environmentally friendly
- Uniform Particle SizeAbility to achieve desired granularity
- Higher CapacityNo restrictions to capacity due to Comil®’s plug-feeding capability
- No Metal-to-Metal ContactLess wear on moving parts
- Easy-Clean DesignLow maintenance
- Scalability accuracy and repeatability from R&D to full production
