October 24, 2019 9:11 am Leave a Comment
If you’re looking for the functionality of our Air Swept Classifier Mill System, but need a smaller machine, the Tabletop Lab System is the perfect choice for you! It is the most convenient grinding system we offer and has just as many capabilities and impressive features as our larger machines.
The Tabletop Lab System is a portable unit initially designed for batch testing and product development. It is the moveable, tabletop version of the commercial scale Air Swept Classifier System. The Tabletop unit is rated to grind feed materials at a rate of +/-150 pounds/hour continuously (depending upon particle size distribution targets and feedstock Mohs hardness), and is ideal for temperature-sensitive source materials. The Tabletop Lab System incorporates a stainless steel rotary valve, screw feeder with a built-in cartridge filter, stainless steel cyclone, blower set with an inlet and outlet silencer, side-mounted control panel. The Tabletop Mill also features a clamshell design for quick and easy cleaning.

In the processing industries, fierce competition and keeping up with ever-changing regulatory requirements are some of the challenges one faces when bringing new products to the market. Which leaves no room for error on the processing line — so get it right in the laboratory before going to commercial scale. The CMS ultra-modern laboratory test facility can play an essential role in defining and helping you to meet commercial-scale challenges.
From grains and coffee to powder paints, pigments, and industrial minerals, the list of materials that CMS has evaluated, or formulated and engineered custom milling systems, is very long. What we’ve learned from thousands of materials trials will save you time in arriving at the optimal milling techniques, methods, and systems.
We can help. We encourage you to send us a sample!

CMS Graphite Grinding Mill Systems
September 8, 2019 1:14 pm Leave a Comment
World consumer markets for carbon/graphite materials are broad-based and diverse. Mined natural graphite and manufactured (synthetic) graphite, are essential industrial materials used in the production of steel, iron, aluminum, battery, powdered metallurgy, and refractory products such as bricks, tiles, furnace linings, crucibles, and in the automotive and heavy equipment clutch plates, transmission rings, bushings, bearings, brushes, gaskets, heat baffles, precision metal parts, fire-retardant fabrics, coatings, lubricants, lacquer, media dispersions, greases, forging lubes; and in electronics (semi-conductor/capacitor coatings), battery, glass/ceramics; conductive composites (resins, polymers, plastic, paper, rubber blends); agricultural (seed coatings, lubricating dry and wet sprays); medical devices, heart valves, hip/knee/ligament replacements; construction materials (conductive flooring, insulation, fire-retardant electrical packing materials, lightweight structural composites); nuclear (containment liners for reflectors and columns); fuel cell (bi-polar plates, compounds, dense coatings/sealants).
Graphite:
• Natural Graphite (naturally occurring/mined)
• Synthetic Graphite (thermally graphitized petroleum coke/tar/pitch)
• Secondary Market Synthetic Graphite (recycled machined graphite, crushed to granular, typically recycled electrodes)
• Amorphous Graphite (naturally occurring)
Milling graphite involves upstream (mine-site) extraction and crushing/milling systems, or, in the case of synthetic graphite, crushing/screening of electrode stock. Natural or Synthetic Graphite will ordinarily require intermediate, fine, and ultra-fine powder milling involving production combinations of ball mills, hammer and pin mills, and when going ultra-fine, then Jet Mills and Air Classifier Mills.
CMS designs and manufactures the leading graphite micronizing milling systems (typically 150 – 400 HP), which are capable of achieving product grinds of all standard graphite powder products down to +/-5 µm. CMS also offers mill systems for the production of battery-grade Spherical Graphite.

Conveyors and Sifters
June 27, 2019 11:29 am Leave a Comment
Pneumatic Conveying systems rely on air streams to move dry bulk powders through horizontal or vertical pipelines of the powder processing system, utilizing conveying methods that are either dilute-phase (product suspended in the airstream) or dense-phase (product carried along at low velocity). At Classifier Milling Systems, our pneumatic conveying systems are designed to be efficient, sanitary, scaled and integrated for the unique flow requirements of the processed materials, whether dilute-phase (via vacuum pump, or at higher rates via positive pressure source) or low-velocity dense-phase for heavier, stickier, and for materials prone to bridging or for brittle materials.
Mechanical Conveying is another option for conveying bulk materials, used typically for materials that are difficult to convey pneumatically, such as high bulk-density materials and those materials prone to bridging, and for brittle materials.
Powder Sifting encompasses various systems for materials separation, such as sieving, classifying, scalping, de-lumping, and screening. Through vibration, rotation, or gyration, foreign materials can be removed from your product stream through a discharge spout, while sifted product continues into the powder milling system. Batch or continuous operations are possible by utilizing gravity-fed and in-line pneumatic designs. Powder Sifter designs include centrifugal sifters, vibratory sifters, tumbler screens, and gyratory sifters.
CMS integrates conveyor systems, sifters, and dust collection systems, ensuring optimal process efficiencies, ease of maintenance, and product quality across numerous feedstock materials.

Flour Processing Basics
April 4, 2019 3:58 am Leave a Comment
Following whole-grain cleaning operations, those meant to separate seeds, bran and germ from the whole grain, and to remove foreign materials via rotating drums, magnetic separators, aspirators, de-stoners, and varying additional separation methodologies, the wheat, then tempered and soaking for up to 24 hours, conditions the grain for the grinding/milling processes.
Grinding
Modern milling processes aim for a gradual reduction of the wheat kernels through a process of grinding and sifting, then blending it to meet the desired formulation of the end products. Typically the process (“Break”) will feed/inject wheat kernels from bins to roller mills (corrugated steel cylinders, paired and rotating inward against each other at different speeds), which separates bran, endosperm (starch) and germ. Typically there will be as many as five additional Breaks, where the rolls will have successively finer corrugated steel cylinders, reducing the wheat particles to granular form (middlings), which are as free from bran as possible.
Sifters
Following grinding, broken wheat particles move through a series of vibrating sifters, then shaken through a series of bolting cloths or screens, which separate the particle sizes at the cut point. Larger particles are shaken off from the top (scalped and further processed) while the fine flour sifts to the bottom. The yield will then undergo a purifying process for further removal of the bran and coarse and fine particles separation. Additional procedures, such as bleaching and enrichment, then follow.
