Urschel - Urschel 3600 Comitrol

Applications & Use Cases

• Fine comminution of various food products, including meats, vegetables, fruits, and confectionery.
• Particle size reduction for sauces, purees, pastes, and re-constituted products.
• Breaking down baked goods and biscuits for inclusions or further processing.
• Preparation of ingredients for pet food or animal feed production.
• Grinding and milling of spices and dry ingredients to a consistent texture.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment varies significantly based on product and cutting head, but units commonly process hundreds to thousands of kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes ranging from 7.5kW to 30kW depending on configuration.

Typical footprint

For this model, a typical footprint would be approximately 1.5m (L) x 1m (W) x 1.5m (H), though mobile frames can alter these dimensions slightly.

Construction material

Comitrol processors are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food contact and washdown environments.

Particle size range

The Comitrol series is known for producing very fine and consistent particle sizes, typically from coarse granulations down to sub-micron emulsions, depending on the cutting head.

Feed mechanism

Units are commonly screw-fed or gravity-fed, designed to handle a range of product consistencies.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves inspection and replacement of cutting heads, seals, and bearings, along with regular cleaning.
