Ytron Quadro 199 Cone Mill

• Size reduction of dry powders and granules in pharmaceutical and food industries.
• Deagglomeration of lumps in chemical and cosmetic processing.
• Product finishing to achieve a consistent particle size distribution.
• Wet milling applications for slurries and pastes.
• Reworking of off-spec products to meet quality standards.

Typical throughput

For this class of cone mill, throughput can vary significantly based on material properties and desired particle size, often ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power requirements

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, with motor power typically in the range of 15 kW to 30 kW.

Construction material

Equipment for food and pharmaceutical applications is typically constructed from stainless steel, often 304 or 316 grade, for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Screen types

Cone mills utilise various screen perforations and designs to achieve different particle sizes, from fine powders to coarser granules.

Footprint

The footprint for a cone mill on a frame with ancillary equipment like a rotary valve is typically compact, suitable for integration into existing processing lines.

Suitable feed material

This equipment is commonly used for friable materials, granules, and powders, as well as some wet products.

• What is the primary difference between a cone mill and a hammer mill?

  Cone mills typically offer a gentler milling action, producing a narrower particle size distribution with less heat generation compared to hammer mills, which are often used for more aggressive size reduction.

• Can this equipment handle both dry and wet products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a cone mill?

• Is a rotary valve essential for this type of mill?

• What safety features should I look for on a used cone mill?

Used milling equipment generally holds strong reputation for reliable performance when properly maintained. Buyers typically prioritise checking motor condition, grinding consistency, and wear on milling components. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward construction, as these prove easier to service and spare parts remain accessible. Stainless steel construction and consistent output capacity are valued strengths. Potential purchasers should verify operational history and request demonstration before committing to purchase.
