Gap Mill

Bauermeister Gap Mills operate in a wide range of applications for grinding soft to medium-hard materials, such as sugar, pectin etc. up to a hardness of approx. 4 - 5 Mohs.

Description

Along with dust and sand the delivered raw product usually contains coarse foreign material such as stones, metal, glass or jute fibres. This foreign material must be completely removed for quality reasons as well as to protect downstream processing equipment against excessive wear.

Options

Stainless steel design
Cryogenic grinding
Automatic lubrication
Vibration monitoring

Bauermeister Gap Mills

If a fineness of up to 99% < 40 µm is required, the Bauermeister Gap Mill is the perfect choice. For extrafine products the Gap Mill can be combined with a classifier to reach up to 99% < 25 µm. Depending on the mill size and required fineness an output of up to 4,500 kg/h can be reached.
