The ClassiSizer is able to process different and inhomogeneous input materials to variable sized final particles. www.dieffenbacher.de/en mills. Its features include silent operation; minimum energy consumption; low space requirement; without aspiration system, cyclone, filter and exhaust air plants; no ATEX problems; low energy consumption; and no noise protection measures. www.akahl.de/en DIEFFENBACHER The ClassiSizer is used for preparation of organic substrates for biogas production, wood dust for energy and heat genera-tion, wood-flakes for pellet production and many other applications. It reduces input materials to the desired particle size in one step. The material is fed from above into the impact chamber where it is resized with high kinetic energy by the fast rotating rotor and interaction of the particles. The final calibration of material is realized by screens, perforated accord-ing to the application. The end product is collected in two discharge boxes and KAHL KAHL’s pan grinder mill is designed for the crushing of wood chips, wood shavings, sawdust and other lumpy biomass. This grinding process is appropriate for wet raw material. The capacity ranges from a few hundred kilograms up to 40 tonnes per hour and more. Appropriate for G30 and G50 wood chips pre-grinding for trou-ble-free fine grinding in traditional hammer ANDRITZ The Andritz Series 6 HS Hammer Mill is engineered for today’s demanding applica-tions and safety guidelines. The high-vol-ume inlet features a reversible inlet baffle and optional pneumatic actuator while the heavy-duty rotor with long lasting pillow block bearings and temperature sensors is dynamically balanced for up to 2100 MARCH/APRIL 2018 18 Canadian BIOMASS
