Overview

General information about the product

Versatile Performance

The Vector Cross Beater Mill offers a wide speed range of 500–4,000 rpm, making it adaptable for various material types and applications. The combination of impact, friction, and shearing forces ensures effective comminution for both coarse and fine grinding, delivering final fineness of <100 µm depending on the feed material and settings.

High Throughput and Efficiency

With a throughput of ≥30 kg/h, the Cross Beater Mill is capable of processing larger sample quantities quickly. An optional cyclone separator enhances material discharge, minimizes thermal buildup, and prevents cross-contamination.

Easy to Use and Maintain

The grinding insert, cross beater, and sieves are easily exchangeable, allowing for quick cleaning and minimal downtime. A central locking device ensures secure operation, while an electric motor brake provides safety during use.

Comprehensive Accessories

The Cross Beater Mill supports a variety of collection and feeding systems, rotors, and sieves, with trapezoidal and round hole sizes ranging from 0.12 mm to 10 mm. The optional cyclone separator and 30L collection vessel make it suitable for processing larger sample batches.

Durable Construction

The grinding chamber and inserts are available in materials like hardened steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, and zirconium oxide, ensuring resistance to wear and contamination for heavy-duty applications.

The Cross Beater Mill is suitable for a diverse range of industries, including agriculture, geology, mining, ceramics, plastics, and metallurgy. It efficiently processes materials such as soil, seeds, ores, coal, slag, ceramics, cement clinker, gypsum, glass, and granite, making it an invaluable tool for sample preparation and material evaluation in both research and industrial settings.

Functional Principle

The Cross Beater Mill employs impact grinding as its primary size reduction principle. Feed material enters through the hopper into the grinding chamber, where the rotating cross beater grinds it between the baffle plates and toothed grinding inserts. Once reduced to the desired fineness, the material passes through the bottom sieve into the collecting receptacle.

The optional cyclone separator further enhances the system’s capabilities by improving material cooling and discharge efficiency, particularly for fine or heat-sensitive samples.
