Toner powder processing systems

Impetus Incorporated offers toner powder processing systems, manufactured by Hosokawa Alpine AG & Co OHG, Germany, an ISO 9001 company, with over 100 years experience in the field of powder processing systems. It has coverage of over 70% of the world market in toner processing mills, with references like Kodak. Rank Xerox, Agfa and all top toner manufacturers in Europe, USA, Korea, Japan and India. For the heat sensitive and difficult to grind toner powders, the Alpine AFG fluidised bed opposed jet mill with the following features have replaced the earlier spiral jet mills, with a short pay back period, because of the high gains: bigger inlet which prevents clogging of feed material and allows free flow into the mill; spacious chamber and fluidisation prevents heating and enables grinding at ambient temperature/feed temperature without any increase; specially designed air flow with opposed jets and a built in turboplex classifier ensures that the material is ground contamination free with minimum residence time in the mill and minimum metal contact; special air jet nozzles offer long life and the expanding high pressure air, results in a temperature drop, ideal for the heat sensitive toners; and high precision turboplex classifier ensures precise micron size output without any mixing of coarse powders. The new tandem toner classifier TTSP from Alpine increases coarse material yield with following advantages: classifier design for colour toner with low melting point, because of the low energy concentration; high coarse material yield to over 90%; extremely high precision of cut to k 0.9; low pressure drop; and easy dismantling allows quick and prefect cleaning.
