Why choose Panizzolo mobile hammer mills
From logistical convenience to operational versatility: all the reasons to choose the Flex Mobile series
In an industrial context increasingly oriented towards speed and process optimisation, the scrap metal recycling sector requires solutions that combine operational flexibility, logistical efficiency and production continuity. These are no longer mere advantages, but real conditions for remaining competitive in the long term.
The Flex Mobile hammer mill was designed precisely to meet these needs. It was the first Panizzolo machine, developed even before the stationary models: a unique solution that paved the way for our current range of metal grinding and processing equipment.
From the outset, the series was designed to combine performance and maximum flexibility. Today, years later, it continues to be a strategic solution for companies looking for a compact, reliable and ready-to-use machine in any operational context. Originally designed for the Italian market, the Flex Mobile series has been able to demonstrate its full potential over time, establishing itself on the international scene as well, thanks to a design approach focused on simplicity and process flexibility.
A compact, efficient and flexible solution for scrap metal processing.
Logistics management and agile configuration
Designed as a turnkey, ready-to-use solution, the Flex Mobile series offers the best in convenience and speed of operation. Thanks to its configuration, transport and installation are extremely easy, even in settings with limited space. The compact design avoids oversized transport by road, simplifying logistics and reducing costs, while the special frame facilitates loading and unloading. Installation is equally simple and quick: the machines are supplied pre-assembled, mounted on roll-off boxes and, in the case of the Flex Mobile 1000, with integrated pistons that facilitate lifting and positioning, guaranteeing full plant operation in just a few steps.
Flexibility in scrap handling
What makes Flex mobile mills extremely competitive is their operational flexibility. Thanks to the patented cradle, it is possible to change processing configuration in less than twenty minutes, quickly adapting the system to the type of material to be processed or the desired size of the output product. From small transformers to electric motors, from WEEE scrap to shredded aluminium and tin cans, to mixed iron-plastic materials: the Flex Mobile series allows a wide variety of scrap to be processed, meeting the needs of companies operating in different sectors and looking for uncompromising versatility.
Energy efficiency
The Flex Mobile series includes models with powers from 90 kW to 315 kW, capable of handling between 3.5 and 15 tonnes/hour depending on the configuration. A central aspect is energy efficiency: each component is designed to maximise the ratio of energy consumption to productivity. According to an analysis based on public market data, the Flex series provides energy savings of between 22% and 62%. This has a direct impact on reducing operating costs and contributes to making the treatment process more environmentally sustainable as well.
Easy maintenance
An efficient treatment plant cannot do without agile maintenance. In this respect too, Panizzolo’s mobile mills are an optimal solution. The machine is designed to facilitate the inspection, greasing and replacement of components subject to wear. Thanks to full access to the grinding chamber, the cradle, rotor, grids, hammers and armours can be easily serviced. All operations are simple and intuitive reducing the number of operators involved and without the need for special equipment or advanced technical skills. This approach results in leaner plant management, optimising overall efficiency.
Reducing noise emissions
A further strength of the Flex Mobile series is the presence of sound-absorbing panels integrated in the external structure. These are specific, water-repellent and weather-resistant materials which guarantee a significant reduction in noise emissions during operation. This feature makes the Panizzolo mobile mill ideal for production contexts where noise management and compliance with environmental regulations are crucial. But not only that. Noise reduction helps to create a more comfortable environment for operators, reducing the risks of exposure to high noise levels, in full compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
Quality-oriented design approach
In line with our high-quality standards, the mobile mills are built for longevity and high performance. Wear is concentrated only on easily replaceable components, such as hammers, grids and armours, made from special steels and high-grade castings. The high quality of the materials – from the framework to the welds – helps to preserve the integrity of the mill even when crushing the heaviest scrap.
Rotors and hammers respond to the same construction logic: the rotors are designed to efficiently absorb mechanical stresses, while the hammers, with free 360° rotation, guarantee optimal impact and efficient crushing, reducing the risk of breakage and ensuring continuity of performance.
These measures reflect the design philosophy that unites all our solutions, which is oriented towards a precise objective: to provide reliable systems, designed to last and capable of adding value to the investment in the long term.
