UCOM Compact Grinding Systems

Overview

The Bauermeister UCOM Compact Grinding Systems are explosion pressure shock resistant up to 10 bar overpressure. The proven air circulation system has been consistently developed and improved. The heat energy released during grinding is extracted from the circulating air with the use of a cooling unit. By cooling the circulating air, it is no longer necessary to use ambient air for grinding systems. Therefore, dust collectors are not needed. This also prevents moisture and humidity from entering into the system. Furthermore, the fan and explosion protection valves are no longer required.

The mill itself is mounted on a stand, and is fed by a rotary air lock which is flame penetration proof and explosion pressure shock resistant. After grinding, the product is discharged into a collecting hopper and released via a rotary air lock. The air current required inside the grinding system is generated by the turbo rotor itself. Via a piping system and a heat exchanger, the air is continuously circulated. The heat exchanger is connected to a chilled water unit. If the plant does not have an existing source of chilled water, a separate unit can be provided.

Typical Capacities
Throughput for standard commercial icing sugar fineness:
