A common platform.
THOR mills share a control architecture, sensor stack and parts strategy. The rotor and process geometry change per platform — but the brain stays the same. That is how a customer running a Pin Mill in one plant and a Jet Mill in another sees one HMI, one alarm logic and one data schema.
The integrated classifier loop is what turns a mill into a finishing tool: it lets product exit only when it has hit the target d50, recirculating coarse fraction without operator intervention.
Energy in, surface area out.
Size reduction is a conversion of mechanical energy into new particle surface area. The mill family you choose determines how that energy is delivered — impact, attrition, compression or fluid energy — and the efficiency of the conversion.
Each THOR platform is matched to a regime: hammer and pin to impact; ball to attrition; jet to fluid energy; classifying to cut and return.
Telemetry as standard.
Every THOR mill ships with OPC-UA and Modbus TCP. Drop it into your historian and you get the same signal set — rotor RPM, motor draw, vibration RMS, ΔP across the classifier, bearing temperatures — across every platform in your portfolio.
| Signal | Range | Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Rotor speed | 0 – 6,000 rpm | OPC-UA / Modbus |
| Motor power draw | 0 – 250 kW | OPC-UA / Modbus |
| Bearing temperature | −40 to 200 °C | OPC-UA / Modbus |
| Vibration RMS | 0 – 25 mm/s | OPC-UA / Modbus |
| Classifier ΔP | 0 – 10 kPa | OPC-UA / Modbus |
