KAHL Pan Grinder Mill
Cost-efficient crushing of wood fibre

“Our new Pan Grinder Mill crushes chips into pelletable material via an efficient grinding process,” explains Patrik Pålsson, product manager at Roland Carlberg Processystem AB, which is the Swedish agent for KAHL. “The chips are fed into the top of the mill. Roller shells press the chips against a horizontal sandwich plate and out comes finely ground material.”

The mill can process up to 35 tonnes of chips an hour.
“By simply switching the roller shells and sandwich plate you can turn the mill into a pellet press, so the same machine can both grind and pellet,” Pålsson says.
He regards this flexibility as a benefit mostly for small-scale pellets producers.
“In large-scale processing, our machine’s best potential is as a mill because its capacity means it can replace several traditional hammer mills. An extra bonus is that it has considerably lower energy consumption.”
