Basket Mill

FLE is the manufacturer of basket mills, we developed a new technology based on the traditional type of basket mill.

FLE Basket Mill focuses on low energy, no hot spots, controlling constant temperature, higher production, the flexibility of batch size, and a wide range of product viscosities that can be processed well.

The basket mill is widely used in many industries, including coating, ink, ceramics, pharmaceutical, and other production fields, including base, frame, main motor, grinding mechanism, and container. In the grinding basket of the grinding mechanism, a spiral wheel is set on the rotating shaft above the grinding blade, and a dispersing plate is used as the impeller. The dispersing plate is a disc with alternately upward or downward bending shear teeth, The disc body of the dispersion disc is provided with a diversion port and a diversion sheet; When working, the high-speed disperser first shears and disperses the materials, and the spiral wheel guides the materials into the grinding basket for grinding and dispersion. When the spiral wheel runs, more materials enter the grinding basket, which improves the grinding and dispersion efficiency. FLE basket mill not only shears and disperses materials, but also grinds and disperses materials. It has a simple structure and high efficiency.

The basket mill is a submersible milling unit that will achieve partial size reduction without the use of hear-to-clean pumps, hoses, and tanks. The basket mill allows a greater amount of material to pass through the milling chamber more open, resulting in a narrower particle size distribution and stronger pigment strength in a shorter amount of time. 

The FLE basket mill is comprised of two shafts; The main shaft is the basket/media agitator shaft and the second is the batch agitator shaft. The media agitator shaft has a hub with several agitator pins; the pins agitator the media creating a rolling vortex within the basket. As the material falls into the basket through the opening in the top, it enters into the high-energy zone of the vortex and is pumped through the moving media in a radial flow. 

As the product passed through the media it is ground by the slipping and rolling action of the media. The material then passes through the screen that separates the media from the batch and washes against the cooling shroud. This helps remove the heat build-up that was generated from the product passing through the milling chamber. The material is then passed down the side of the cooling shroud and back into the batch where it is an agitator and sent back through the milling chamber. 

The batch agitator’s function is to assist in keeping the batch from sealing and to keep the material mixed while it is waiting for its next pass through the milling chamber. The FLE mixers mill is complete with controls for the mill agitator, comprising of a tachometer, ammeter, and a jog push button with a start/stop/speed potentiometer dial for the batch agitator.
