Cross Beater Mill
Model SK 100 comfort


Description
The Cross Beater Mill SK 100 comfort is suitable for coarse and fine size reduction, either in batches or continuously. It can process medium-hard and brittle materials with a hardness of up to approx. 6 on Mohs’ scale. The SK 100 is intended for universal use: from sample preparation in laboratories and industrial plant, through pilot installations up to preparing batches in production facilities.
The cross beater mills are mainly used for reducing the size of:
  • cement clinker
  • coke
  • glass
  • gravel
  • minerals
  • ores
  • oxide ceramics
  • slags
  • soils

and many other similar materials. The maximum feed size for bulk goods is 15 mm, for single-piece feed 20 mm. The final fineness and throughput depend on the breaking behavior of the feed material and the aperture size of the bottom sieve. Due to the powerful drive it is possible to achieve a fineness <100 μm in a single working step in many cases. The SK 100 comfort is distinguished by its extra operating comfort and standard of safety. The grinding chamber door can be opened and closed quickly and simply with its quick-action lock. This means that changing the bottom sieves and cleaning the grinding chamber hardly take any time at all. If the quick-action lock is accidentally opened then a safety switch activates the motor brake, so that the rotor comes to a standstill in less than 0.5 seconds. The feed hopper is equipped with access barrier and splash-back protection. The cross beater mills are robust and maintenance-free and compl with the CE guidelines. Their highquality finish also guarantees that the mills will have a long working life.

SK 100 comfort technology
Size reduction in cross beater mills takes place by hammering, impact and shearing effects. The feed material passes from the hopper directly into the center of the grinding chamber, where it is caught by the cross beater and ground between the baffle plates of the cross beater and the toothed grinding insert. As soon as the material is smaller than the aperture size of the bottom sieve used, it passes through the sieve and enters the collecting receptacle. The air drawn in through the hopper by the cross beater accelerates the discharge of the ground material. The airborne fine fraction is separated off by a downstream filter system.

Mill versions
The mill housing is made from cast aluminum. Depending on the particular version (see table) the grinding insert and grinding tools are made from different materials. The choice of version depends primarily on the feed material. Chrome steel is recommended for hard feed materials, stainless steel for corrosive ones. Baffle plates made from steel 1.1740 can be used for heavy-metal-free grinding.
Bottom sieves made from trapezoid or round hole sheet are available in 14 aperture sizes. For heavy-metalfree grinding bottom sieves made from steel St 1203 are available in 6 aperture sizes.
The standard equipment supplied with the cross beater mills includes a stainless steel collecting receptacle (5 l) and a textile filter hose. The mill can be attached to a bench or a wall bracket; however, it is preferable to mount it on the optional base frame.

Accessories for SR 200, SR 300 and SK 100 comfort
The standard equipment supplied with the SR 200, SR 300 and SK 100 comfort includes a 5 l stainless steel collecting receptacle and a textile filter hose. By using the filter hose between the mill and collecting receptacle the flow of air produced by the rotating rotor is led away and back-pressure is avoided. It also accelerates the material throughput and ensures a gentle size reduction process. Instead of the textile tube a ring-type filter made from stainless trapezoid hole sheet (aperture size 63 μm) can be used with or without a dust filter unit; this is easier to clean, particularly with fine dusts, and ensures a higher stability for the collecting receptacle. If larger amounts are to be processed we recommend the use of the electromagnetic Vibratory Feeder DR 100 for uniform material feed and the 30 l collecting receptacle with the corresponding filter hose.
Mills SR 200 and SK 100 can be mounted on a workbench. However, it is preferable to mount them on the optional base frame.
