FCM

Colloid Mill

Achieve Easier, Faster Emulsions

Easy Clean-In-Place

The innovative FCM Series Colloid Mill saves processors maintenance time and effort with its easy, hands-off Clean-In-Place (CIP) design. All parts of the FCM remain in place during CIP, reducing costly downtime and the chance of damaging parts.

Faster Set-up

The FCM’s time-saving, external variable gap adjustment lever provides on the fly internal gap adjustment. This allows the FCM to achieve the exact shear required without moving the front or top ports, producing shelf-stable emulsions and consistent particle sizes. Processors also save time between batches because the mill does not need to be opened between product changes. Patent pending.
