Germany, Feb. 6, 2003 // The innovative combination of Eirich milling and Noll classifying technology has created entirely new perspectives in the powder processing industry. In December 2002 a breakthrough in milling and classifying technology was achieved with the combination of the Eirich MaxxMill and the Noll MultiNo-SE Classifier. The combined units were started up at the Noll Cologne site in Germany, with immediate success.

Based on the available impressive results, Eirich has also decided upon the acquisition of the classifier to upgrade their technical laboratory. The Eirich MaxxMill is very well suited for products, that up to now have been processed on standard ball mills, and that require cost effective processing and constant quality. The quality and performance potential of the MaxxMill was rightly recognized and through the design and construction of a special classifier for the finest size range (D50 1 - 40µm) effectively improved.

Producers who have so far milled their products in large quantities by wet ball milling or smaller quantities using jet milling technology to very fine particle sizes, can now, through the use of this dry system, save time, energy and processing costs. On top of that, the equipment can be used much more flexibly because of its much lower starting quantities and waste-material quantities, which is especially important in the processing of high cost materials.

The arrangement is specially suited for the metal-free processing of ceramic raw materials, minerals, frits and glazes with higher throughput and sharper top cut in the finest size range. Through this technology exchange the strengths of the two companies, Noll's classifying technology and Eirich's milling technology, are used to achieve new possibilities in the powder processing industry.
