Hanningfield Process Systems Ltd - Cone Mills

Cone mills are a size reduction machine for the particle sizing and deagglomeration of powders and other material. A cone mill is an excellent means of reducing material to a consistent and uniform particle size.

Other benefits of cone mills include an easy-clean, hygienic design, low dust and noise generation and a high throughput. Our range of cone mills process up to 7,200 kgs/hr. We also manufacture a lab-scale cone mill which can handle 200 kgs/hr.

Vacuum conveyors are the perfect solution for the transfer of powder, granules and pellets in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical and associated industries. We offer a range of vacuum conveyors in various sizes to accommodate numerous applications.

Manufactured from stainless steel and boasting an easy-clean design, our vacuum conveyors are a simple and hygienic method for the transfer of material.

Our CapsuJet capsule transfer systems, originally designed and patented by Hanningfield in 1995, remains the best and most efficient method for the conveying of hard shell capsules in industry today.

CapsuJet capsule transfer systems were originally designed and built to overcome the problems associated with conventional mechanical systems. They are now the method of choice for the automatic loading of high-speed capsule filling machines.

We specialise in Kibbler lump breakers and related products to Kibbler Lump Breakers. The Hanningfield ‘Surebreak’ lump breaker, also known as a ‘pre-breaker’ or ‘kibbler’ provides an excellent solution for breaking large lumps of agglomerated material.

Our Surebreak lump breaker is used for reducing large lumps of material prior to further processing such as in the case of size reduction milling and fine grinding. The Hanningfield lump breaker is capable of extremely high throughput, up to 10,000 kgs/hr. The compact design makes the unit easy to fit within existing production set-ups.

We also specialise in the provision of powder cyclones. The Uni-Dust powder recovery cyclone is both innovative and unique, as it is able to capture excess dust in the process room itself. Usually excess dust created during capsule filling or tablet compressing is piped to a central dust extraction system.

The Uni-Dust cyclone prevents this with a 'best-practice' approach to dust containment. The integrity of the central dust extraction system is significantly improved by capturing the dust inside the process room, preventing a build-up of hazardous powders in the central system.

The Uni-Hoist is perfectly suited to IBC lifting, inverting and docking. By handling heavy containers, the Uni-Hoist is able to automate strenuous process activities. IBC docking is an excellent method of automating a process through gravity-feed transfer.

We specialise in drum lifting products. The Uni-Hoist can be used for the lifting, turning and inverting of drums and containers. The automation of this process eliminates the need for manual handling and helps to improve the hygiene of a process.

Our vast product range includes equipment positioning hoists. The Hanningfield Uni-Hoist is often utilised for the positioning of equipment. Process equipment such as mills and vacuum conveyors can be hoist mounted to give a great deal of operational flexibility, in terms of both mobility and height. The integration of process equipment with the Uni-Hoist facilitates improved operations by enabling equipment to be positioned wherever the need arises.
