This Hosokawa Alpine Contraplex 160 C is a mixer and blender — also widely known as a pin mill — designed for fine impact grinding and mixing of powders. Machines of this type use high-speed rotating pin discs to deliver intense mechanical energy to a product stream, breaking down particles to fine and ultra-fine sizes and producing a uniform blend. Hosokawa Alpine is a well-established name in powder and particle processing technology, supplying mills, classifiers, mixers, and compaction equipment to the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and mineral industries.
This particular unit is from 2014 and is offered used from a location in France. It features two independently driven pin disc assemblies — one on the frame side and one on the door side — allowing the counter-rotating configuration that is characteristic of the Contraplex design. The frame-side motor delivers 7.5 kW and drives its pin disc at 16,500 rpm through three rows of spindles. The door-side motor delivers 5.5 kW, running its disc at 12,000 rpm through two rows of spindles. The differing speeds and row counts between the two sides create the high relative velocity between pin sets that produces fine, controlled particle reduction.
The listing includes a complete associated equipment package surrounding the mill itself. Powder transfer is handled by a Bohle MCL 300 container and its dedicated stand, a recognised pharmaceutical-standard bin system. The package also includes a forced convection vacuum system, an unloading hopper, and a handling trolley, making this a substantially equipped unit rather than a bare machine.
