Our Cenomic Optima takes bead mill technology to the next level. It delivers 25% higher productivity with higher flow rates, higher power inputs and improved cooling.
The re-engineered Cenomic Optima offers a range of innovative technological improvements to speed up your wet-grinding operation without compromising product quality.
The 30 kW power input enables you to reach your desired specified energy faster. More disks within the chamber deliver better bead activation. The reverse-feeding EcoMizer agitator disks reduce bead compression and improve circulation speeds. In tests on solvent-based wood lacquer, Optima achieved a 25% higher flow rate than Cenomic 3, producing an additional 140 kg every hour.
With up to nine times higher thermal conductivity compared to steel, the ceramic inner lining can cope with a higher power input without overheating your products. Data from a solvent-based packaging ink application has shown that the Cenomic Optima can reach the required quality of less than 10 microns with a product temperature almost 7 ºC lower than a steel-lined chamber.
A larger screen enables you to operate at higher flow rates without blockages. In a case study with water-based coating for paper, the Cenomic Optima accepted a 39% higher power input, allowing an increase in productivity of at least 40%, with a 13 ºC lower product temperature compared to the original Cenomic 3.
Upgrade opportunities
Cenomic Optima is available as an upgrade kit to your existing Cenomic 3 20 liter machine (with other models soon to be released). The kit includes new disks, ceramic inner lining, pull-out device for the lining, larger screen and an optional 30 kW drive unit that can all be retrofitted to your existing machine.
New installations
The Cenomic Optima offers these improvements with the same machine footprint, making it easy for you to replace existing machines. Bühler's consulting and engineering services can work with your team to help you plan the best possible implementation for your application.
Our training and services are designed to keep you up-to-date on our products and technologies, giving you the confidence and experience you need to do your everyday work.
