High-throughput milling device comprising an adjustable milling operation

A milling device for carrying out a milling operation, comprising:

• a milling unit including a body comprising a milling chamber which can be filled with material to be milled, a rotor rotatably mounted around a rotation axis in the body, a screen, and a drive unit controlling the movements of the rotor with respect to the screen during the milling operation;
• wherein the drive unit is designed to impart an oscillation movement to the rotor around the rotation axis, an oscillation angle being variable during the milling operation;
• wherein the milling chamber is configured to direct the product to be milled in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotor;
• wherein the milling device further comprises a transmission element comprising a milling shaft on which is mounted the rotor, the transmission element being arranged for transmitting the drive of the drive unit to the milling shaft;
• the rotor being mounted vertically, concentric with the screen;
• wherein the rotor comprises a bearing arranged to be mounted on the milling shaft parallel to the rotation axis of the rotor and a disk extending radially from the bearing, the disk being frustoconical in shape so as to guide the material to be milled towards the screen;
• and
• wherein the rotor comprises a plurality of blades concentric with the rotation axis and parallel to said rotation axis, and wherein the frustoconical shape of the disk guides the material to be milled towards the blades.
