The characteristic feature of the ACM is the incorporation of a integral classifier. The classifier works on the principle of two opposite force acting on the different particles, the coarse and the fine particles are segregated.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
ACM is designed in such a way that all the individual components of the mill viz. the shroud ring, the liner plate, the classifier and the rotor plate are easily detachable for cleaning, in case of product change and for maintenance work. The top lid is hinged and tightened with fly nuts.
Our air classifying mills incorporate the following features:
- Units up to 100 HP have standard cast reversible Ni-Hard liners
- Tungsten carbide hammers.
- All mills are designed to operate at noise levels below 85 dba*
- A complete line of sanitary mills is available to meet special cleaning requirements

APPLICATION
ACM can be used for almost the whole field of size reduction of products upto a hardness of 4 Moh. Due to high air flow rates, the material has less tendency to heat-up and suitable for heat sensitive product size reduction. Our ACM design makes them ideal for the following applications:
