Everything You Need to Know About S20 Flair & Quadro Comil High Efficiency Milling (HEM) is a modern machining strategy designed to maximise material removal rates (MRR) while minimising tool wear and heat generation. HEM involves using a lower Radial Depth of Cut (RDOC) and a higher Axial Depth of Cut (ADOC). This approach spreads wear evenly across the cutting edge, dissipates heat more effectively, and reduces the likelihood of tool failure. The technique offers several benefits such as: Increased tool life due to even wear distribution Higher material removal rates due to aggressive cutting Reduced heat generation due to lower RDOC and higher ADOC Cost efficiency due to longer tool life Faster machining times HEM is particularly useful in industries where efficiency and precision are critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. It is suitable for a wide range of materials, including aluminium, steel, and titanium. High Efficiency Milling vs. Traditional Milling...

A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Roll Compactors and Their Benefits

A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Roll Compactors and Their Benefits Pharmaceutical, chemical, and food production industries always have the requirement of precise particle control to ensure product quality and process efficiency. And roll compactors simply fit the bill. They are designed to transform raw materials into fine powders by compressing them into solid, compact shapes between two rotating rolls. The efficiency of this process improves particle consistency and increases bulk density. Not only that, roll compactors are environmentally friendly, too; they help to reduce energy consumption and minimise waste. According to experts, roller compaction is so far the main and best technique used in dry granulation applications. Roll compactors are popular among various industries for several reasons, including the following: Advantages of a Roll Compactor Enhanced Material Handling : Roll compaction allows for the conversion of loose powders into denser, free-flowing g...

Tips for Choosing the Right Roll Compactor for Your Needs

  Tips for Choosing the Right Roll Compactor for Your Needs Roll compactors, also known as roller compactors, are machines used primarily in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical industries for dry granulation . A roll compactor is a machine that compacts powder into a solid mass, known as a ribbon or flakes, which can then be milled into granules. This process is essential for creating uniform particle sizes and improving the flow properties of powders. Key Components and Working Principles of Roll Compactors Roll compactors use a vertical feed screw to feed powder into the machine, where it is compressed by two counter-rotating rollers. One roller is fixed, while the other moves to control the compaction force. A hydraulic system applies the necessary force, and a control system monitors and adjusts parameters like roll speed, roll force, and roll gap. Process Parameters of Roll Compactors Roll compactors use pre-compression force to feed the material into the ...
