HDF Chain Mill

DESCRIPTION

Compared to the standard chain mill, the HDS and HDF models have a smaller footprint and compact configuration, which is essential in applications where space is limited. However, in the design of the HDS and HDF models, all the consecrated design features of the HD version were kept. The balanced rotors are the same. Usual maintenance can be performed on the side doors, which open fully, providing full access to the rotors and all parts of the mill interior. Chains can be inspected and exchanged without having to dismantle any other part of the mill. The side doors are heavy enough to provide the necessary protection from impacts that occur during operation, yet they are balanced on a suspended arm so that only one person is able to handle them. Impact surfaces are lined throughout with abrasion resistant rubber.

However, when more extensive maintenance is required, for example when bearings or liners need repair, it is necessary to remove the entire rotor from the machine assembly. It is necessary to dismantle two small sliding plates, unscrew the bearings and remove the rotor from the mill casing. Working with these parts in a controlled and unobstructed environment allows for better and faster work.

The HDF version is almost identical to the HDS except that the bearings are attached directly to the current mill frame. This allows for greater stability in the rotor assembly for applications that demand more grinding. Dynamically balanced rotors and quality control of casing manufacturing result in a mill that produces little vibration. A small layer of insulating rubber is needed for the HDF model to be mounted on a concrete floor.
