When selecting your FitzMill there are several items
which you will need to consider. These include the following:
- Series Type
See the description, advantages, and features of "A" Series and Standard
Series by clicking on listing to the left.
- Feed type
Material must be metered at a constant and controlled rate to the grinding
chamber. This can be done manually by feeding material from a pan into
the mill feed throat. Manual feeding is typically done with an "S" Pan.
If you have a system where material is flowing at a reasonably constant
rate, it is possible to put the mill into this system using an in-line
custom feed throat (SPV).
Fitzpatrick also offers an integral auger feed system (VFS) that meters
material from a feed hopper into the milling chamber. If this option
is selected it is important that Fitzpatrick understands how you will
fill the feed hopper. The feed hopper can be supplied to be manually
filled or customized to connect to an IBC discharge, fill chute, blender
discharge or other filling system.
- Control Location
For most models the electrics can be located on the machine base, remote
mounted on a process room wall, or remote mounted in a separate portable
enclosure. In some situations, the customers can supply the controls
as part of a plant control system.
- Electric Classification
All motor voltages, frequencies and electrical classifications are available
to meet customer requirements. It is important to completely specify
these requirements when discussing your equipment needs. NOTE: The more
special the requirements the more cost and delivery delay is incurred.
- Equipment discharge
In order to provide the most useful connection to your product container
we need to know how you will connect the discharge of the machine to
your product container as well as the details of the product containers.
If you plan to connect to the product container with a dust bag, a dust
bag ring will be specified at the discharge of the chamber. Otherwise,
the chamber discharge will be supplied with a flange. This will allow
for a variety of custom discharges.
- Machine Configuration - Option
Blade type, speed range, screen type, cryogenic inlets, product containment
system, pneumatic feed/discharge, etc are all options/features which
are specified during the equipment selection process. A thorough understanding
of your process is necessary to begin this selection. See Features/Options
for a more thorough explanation of these items. Often lab testing is
required to confirm equipment configuration.
