Glen Creston – leaders in size reduction
Glen Creston will be exhibiting a range of products at this year’s RWM Exhibition
For preparation of larger laboratory samples or for light industrial applications, Glen Creston, (Endecotts sister company) offer a range of machines that can cope with high throughputs whilst still producing reasonable particle sizes.
From a jaw crusher, for primary sample breakage prior to further processing, and a slow-speed deagglomerator for de-lumping and coarse crushing to the McCrone mill, which will grind to analytical fineness, these machines can cope with a wide range of materials from rocks to edible grains.
Glen Creston strive to improve their machines as well as manufacture and design bespoke machines to customers’ specific requirements for grinding and crushing applications.
These machines are suitable for processing a wide range of materials such as chemicals, minerals, pharmaceuticals, soil, cement, coal, aggregates, agricultural products, plus many more.
Several of the machines can be used either as stand-alone machines in the laboratory or incorporated into process lines for in-line processing of material.
Glen Creston will be presenting the following products at RMW Exhibition 2012.
Roller Crusher
Features include:
- Robust construction
- Minimal maintenance
- Single-, double- or multiple-shaft versions
- Compact design allows retro-fitting into existing process lines.
- Parts easily removed for maintenance/repair.
This rugged, slow-running mill is equipped with either a single- or double-roller shafts fitted with crushing cams. The cams rotate between crushing and stripping combs. Different shaped crushing elements are available depending on material.
The roller crusher works on the operating principle/construction that the wear-resistant steel crushing cams are mounted on the roller shaft in staggered positions, accurately spaced so that they pass between the crushing and stripping combs which are mounted laterally on opposite sides of the inner housing. Both sets of combs are identical in design but have different functions.
Swing Hammer Mill
Features include:
- Large inlet hopper - suitable for bulky material
- Easily interchangeable screens
- 180 degree full-width screen area
- Choice of support stand height
- Bottom or blower discharge versions
- Easy access for cleaning
- Collection receptacle
- Time delay safety feature
- Choice of screens
The machine’s operating principle works on the basis that material is fed into the inlet hopper where it falls into the grinding chamber. It is then ground by the action of freely rotating hardened steel hammers against a serrated face. The ground material then passes through a mild steel screen and into a receptacle.
The swing hammer mill has a durable mill body constructed from cast iron with carbon steel inlet hopper and hardened steel hammers. Mounted on heavy steel motor rails complete with belt drive, guard, and starter. Hammers have four grinding edges, which can be rotated in turn to give maximum life.
