Quadro's Comil - Lab Models

The Comil Lab units are designed for bench-top applications. Capacities and particle size distribution are scalable to larger production units providing research and development labs an excellent way of developing formulations. Two models are available with capacities ranging from batch sizes of a few grams to many kilos. Both units are equipped with a variable speed drive providing the user flexibility in the development of a formulation. The frame, electrical enclosure and all contact parts are constructed of stainless steel, making them suitable to support requirements in the food, pharmaceutical, personal care/cosmetic and fine chemical industries.

Innovative Technology for Size Reduction:

Low heat
  • Excellent for milling products with low melting point and high fat content. Low dust
  • Minimal product loss.
  • Environmentally friendly. Ideal for Small Batches
  • Minimizes product hang up in Mill.
  • Easy storage.
  • Easily integrated for glove box application.
  • User friendly design
  • Quick screen change.
  • Easy clean, low maintenance.
  • Full selection of tooling.
  • Variable speed motor for scalability.

    Principle of Operation:

    The infeed product falls into the conical screen chamber. A rotating impeller imparts a vortex flow pattern to the incoming material. The material is then forced to the screen surface by centrifugal acceleration ensuring continuous delivery into the "action zone" between the screen and impeller. In the "action zone" the material is sized and instantaneously discharged through the screen openings. The finished product is discharged at the bottom of the milling chamber. Screen, impeller selection and speed can optimise particle size.

    Available Options:

  • Contact and non-contact material types.
  • Contact and non-contact surface finishes.
  • Infeed configuration.
  • Discharge shroud configuration.
  • North American vs. CE design.
  • Electrical options.
