DFZK-2 in service in a feed mill.

Application
The Vertica is primarily applied in the feed manufacturing
industry for post- and pre-grinding operations. However,
it is also suited to size reduction applications in the our
milling, oil milling, and food processing industries as well
as in other production industries.

The built-in air recycling fan generates the necessary air

stream for the gravity separator.

Short production change times

The easy access to the machine and its easy sieve and
hammer changes minimize downtimes. Rotor braking
using the counter-current principle stops the rotor within
a short time.

High operating reliability

The new vertical rotor mill complies with all the current
safety standards. All hazardous operations are provided
with multiple protection. All safety functions are hardwired
in the control cabinet of the hammer mill.
The optimized grinding action reduces the noise of the
machine to a low level of max. 83 dB(A).
The load-governed DFCO throughput controller allows the
required motor loading to be selected. Suitable for Atex
Zone 22.

Low maintenance requirement

The use of high-grade materials and the optimized
grinding chamber design reduce the maintenance requirement and wear. Integrated wear parts are fastened by
bolts and are easy to exchange. The material is fed to the
machine by a roller feeder with integrated gravity separator and ferrous matter separator to protect the machine.

Sanitation
The grinding chamber is very easy to access and allows
fast checking and cleaning.

High efciency.
Low maintenance.

DFAV feeder.
DFAV feeder with built-in gravity separator and magnet.

Lowering of the outlet hopper

provides optimal access to the grinding chamber.

Hammer mill with safety cabinet.

Easy-to-use local operator terminal.

Options
In addition to the basic equipment, the following options
are available:
Main motor with two speeds
Rotor speed control by frequency converter
Soft starter
Grinding chamber temperature monitor
Vibration detector
Two-way diverter for DFZK-2
Rotor removal and installation device

Limits of application
As a rule, materials suitable for grinding include those
with the following characteristics:
Max. particle size: 60 mm (edge length)
Bulk density: 0.2 to 0.8 kg/dm3
Material moisture content: up to 15% H2O
Material temperature: max. 40 C

Compact controller.
Efcient and reliable.

Control cabinet
with controller DFCO.

Control
The DFCO hammer mill controller controls the entire
grinding process. In addition to the main functions such
as starting and stopping all motors, it also monitors all the
necessary safety functions.
The mill throughput is automatically controlled on the
basis of the motor loading during grinding in conjunction
with the DFAV roll feeder. An optimized starting program
enables the mill to reach the required nominal loading
within a short time. Interfaces for operation, display, and
process control are provided.
As a variant, the DFCO controller is also available as a
pure throughput control device, without any other control
functions.
