The Alpha modular machine platform from Netzsch is designed to mount different grinding systems on the same base platform as appropriate for a defined drive capacity.

The Alpha modular machine platform from Netzsch is designed to mount different grinding systems on the same base platform as appropriate for a defined drive capacity. The Discus disk grinding system is used primarily for dispersion applications in multi-pass operation. The Zeta system with optimized grinding media separation is used mainly for operation in the circulation or multi-passage mode. As the third grinding system, the new Macro peg system facilitates the highest power input in passage operation.

The system has a self-supporting grinding chamber, which ensures accessibility to the grinding area during operation and maintenance. Integrated hoses and pipes prevent contamination and make cleaning and operation easier. The Alpha Cart service cart facilitates removal of the grinding tank and the emptying of grinding media; standardization allows one cart to be used for several machines.
