Basket mill TORUSMILL® TM-CC: patented basket mill with integrated dissolver 40 - 1400 litres

Dispersing & fine grinding in one instrument. Option: Vacuum, EX-control to ATEX.

= basket mill for production

Product volumes are based on medium viscosity. The actual volume may differ depending on the flow behaviour of the product. All instruments can be supplied with different working voltages.

Efficient combination of dissolver and basket mill

The TORUSMILL® TM is a completely new, patented dispersion system which allows for a particularly economic and environmentally dispersion of high quality products.With the TORUSMILL® a predispersion with a dissolver disc and afterwards the extremely fine grinding with an integrated basket mill can be made in one process and one container.

This innovation intelligently combines proven high speed dispersion technology with a basket mill system. In operation, the TORUSMILL® is first used to predisperse the product with a dissolver disc. During predispersion the torus shaped basket is "parked" in the upper part of the machine. After predispersion the milling basket containing the milling beads and the milling tool is lowered into the mill base and the fine milling process can begin. The fast circulation of the millbase within the milling basket is generated by the dissolver disc and integrated pump wheel; because of this excellent dispersion results and a very narrow particle size distribution can be achieved very quickly. Due to the fact that no pumps, pipes, valves and additional containers are necessary, the cleaning is very easy and a quick change of the millbase is possible.

The basket mill TORUSMILL® TM-CC is fitted with the TM-control.

• Digital indication of speed, ampere and product temperature.
• Potentiometer for infinitely speed adjustment
• Key button and switch for power, start, stop, stand as two hand trip guard, drain off milling basket and kick-off switch
• Lamp for start, stop and power

The TORUSMILL® TM-CC can also be fitted with the SPS-control. The graphic display allows for an indication of the operational parameters such as speed, power output, peripheral speed of the milling tool, torque and product temperature. The combination of a graphic display and the standardized SPS-control allows for an extension as well as for an adaptation of the control system to further process control applications at any time.

Basket mill TORUSMILL® TM-CC optional with scraper system and cover for vacuum operation

• Without cover:
  With solvent free products the TORUSMILL® TM-CC can be operated with an open container.
  
  
• Cover with lamp opening and scraper system as an option:
  However, due to safety reasons the TORUSMILL® TM-CC can be equipped with a simple cover. During the milling process the cover lies tight on the container due to an intelligent feature; when raising the basket the cover is dragged with it. The diameter of the cover is selected in such a way that containers with different diameters can be covered safely.. The cover can be fitted with container illumination, a locking opening for adding the product respectively for sucking off dust and fume and with a scraper system.
  
  
• Leakproof cover:
  For vacuum operation or for solvent based products using a completely closed cover is essential.

Basket mill TORUSMILL® TM-CC for superior dispersion results in a short period of time

The container with the liquid component is moved into position under the TORUSMILL®. The dissolver disc is lowered down into the liquid.		The powdered component is fed into the liquid phase at low speed, wetted and premixed. The premixed product is dispersed with the dissolver disc in the classical manner.		After dispersion, the milling basket is lowered into the predispersed millbase. The TORUSMILL® now starts the actual dispersion process for extremely fine grinding. When the dissolver disc and the milling system are located above the product sur-face, product residue in the grinding basket is centrifuged out by briefly running the milling and dissolver discs.		The milling system is now completely raised and the container with the ground finished product is removed. Cleaning the milling system is carried out in a separate conical container in order to minimise the required amount of cleaning fluid.
