Description
Explosion-proof TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX vacuum basket mill: excellent fine milling results in a very short time!
The TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX vacuum basket mill is equipped with a powerful vacuum system. The vacuum system is suitable for fine milling high viscosity products under vacuum. This prevents air inclusions during production. The TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX are high‒efficient immersion mills with which excellent grinding results can be achieved in very short time. The TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX basket mill is available from 30 kW up to 45 kW motor power for processing low and medium viscosity products. The clamping device of the TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX immersion mill is suitable for container sizes up to 1250 liters. The effective circulation of the mill base through the grinding basket is achieved through an integrated, patented pump wheel. This provides a high number of passes, and a narrow particle size. The dissolver disc mounted below the milling basket ensures a milling of the millbase within the milling container with minimal dead volumes.
- Double walled milling basket, suitable for cooling and heating systems. The heat generated during the milling process is dissipated effectively by the spirally guided cooling liquid
- Excellent circulation of the mill base by the patented pump wheel and dissolver disc
- Easy scale‒up from the TORUSMILL® TML laboratory basket mill to the TORUSMILL® SK production basket mill
- Use of customers existing containers, also with different volumes
According to the Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX 100a), the explosion-proof immersion mill corresponds to the following ATEX protection class: II 2G Ex h IIB T3 Gb
The explosion-proof TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX vacuum basket mill has an integrated cover:
The stable cover of the TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX immersion mill enables easy height adjustment of the shaft even during the fine grinding process. The cover rests securely on the container edge during the grinding process. The height of the grinding basket can also be adjusted under vacuum. The cover is equipped with a product feed system as a standard. Various options, such as LED lighting, a PT100 temperature sensor, a Liquiphant level switch (also in ATEX), or sight glasses and various filling funnels are available for the container cover.
The explosion-proof TORUSMILL® SKV5-EX vacuum immersion mill is equipped with the BK5 stand:
The elegant stand of the TORUSMILL® SK5 series has an integrated, electrical height adjustment. This new intelligent and particularly robust design was developed with a focus on purely functional and economic aspects, and features the innovative nature of the TORUSMILL® technology.
