Mikro ACM Air Classifying Mill Model 10
The Mikro ACM - Air Classifying Mill is designed to produce ner materials with sharper particle size distributions
than most other impact milling technologies. In certain applications, a median particle size as low as 5 microns can
be achieved.
The Mikro ACM - Air Classifying Mill is the main component of the size reduction system, however, additional
ancillary components are required for a fully functional system.
A feeder is required to accurately dispense product into the milling system.
A product collector is required to separate the product from the gas stream and collect the material.
Airlocks are used for feeding the system, containing system pressure and product discharging.
A fan is required to generate the airow to convey, mill and classify the product.
Adequately sized ducting is required to connect the system components and contain and convey the product.
Instrumentation and valves are required to sense and regulate the various operating parameters of the system.
A control system is required to operate, monitor and control the output of the system.

GRINDING CHAMBER
The grinding chamber of the ACM houses both the components of the classifying and grinding zones. They include
the impact rotor and hammers, the liner assembly, the shroud and bafe assembly and the classier wheel. The
grinding chamber can be designed to operate to 10 bar(g) overpressure for explosive materials.
LIN
LINER
A liner is located at the grinding chamber wall. There are two basic types of liners; the
multiple deector (MD) liner is for ne size reduction and the smooth liner is for coarse
size reduction and to minimize the generation of nes. The purpose of the liner is to
provide for more efcient size reduction by slowing the peripheral speed of the particles
p
and to deect them back into the impact hammer path.

WEAR PROTECTION
When grinding abrasive materials, pharmaceutical products or food ingredients, s,
Hosokawa offers options to protect your mill from premature wear and to maintain
the purity of product. Internal surfaces and contact parts, including the liner,
grinding elements, classier and chamber can be constructed of mild steel, stainless
steel, ceramic or coated with special alloys, like tungsten carbide.
CONTROLS
Most Mikro ACM - Air Classifying Mill systems use
an advanced PLC and an Operator Interface Terminal
(OIT) to monitor and control the system operation.
The PLC allows various operating parameters to be
set by using PID loops. The PID Set Points can be
entered on the OIT and changed while processing
your material to optimize the milling process. An
automatic start/stop sequence is programmed
to insure consistent, repeatable results, free from
operator error.
The Model E can also be used for grit reduction applications when
tight particle top size control is required, such as in the case of Carbon
Black, Iron Oxides, and Clays.
