Tablets & Capsules May 2017 37 A survey of what's available Pin mill CIM-18-S316 pharma-grade pin mill grinds friable powders, flakes, and granules into coarse or fine particles (400 mesh). Outer and inner discs swing away from unit on cantilevered arms, providing full access to both sides of each disc and mill housing for rapid cleaning and sanitizing. In operation, high- speed rotation of inner disc creates centrifugal force that accelerates material passing through central inlet of opposing stationary disc. As material travels at high speed from center to periphery of discs, it passes through five intermeshing rows of rotating and stationary impact pins. Made of type 316 stainless steel, unit features sanitary butterfly valve on air intake, sanitary fittings at material intake and discharge, and wash-down motor. Munson Machinery, Utica, NY.

Screeners accommodate as many as four decks to simultaneously separate material into five particle size fractions. Equipment requires no special flooring or foundation, conserving floor space. MX screener's (photo) eccentric weights on top and bottom of motion-generator shaft are com- pletely enclosed to prevent reach-in injuries. Enclosed motor's access doors allow you to quickly adjust wheels for easy motion and force changes. Open-base con- struction facilitates cleaning beneath unit to prevent dirt and product buildup. Screens are durable and easy to change. Diameters range from 30 to 60 inches. Sweco, Florence, KY. Tel. 800 807 9326 www.sweco.com
