Used mills for sale: particle size reduction equipment for powders, slurries and solids

Used mills are essential in industries where reducing solid materials to fine powders or controlled particle sizes is critical. Whether you’re grinding active pharmaceutical ingredients, pulverizing pigments, or micronizing mineral fillers, mills offer the precision and flexibility needed for modern process demands. With more than 47 years of experience, IPP provides used, surplus and secondhand milling systems from 20 global plant sites and maintains a ready-to-ship inventory of 15,000+ systems.

IPP stocks a wide range of industrial mills, including hammer mills, jet mills, ball mills, colloid mills, attrition mills, and roller mills from leading brands like Hosokawa, Fitzpatrick, Netzsch, Pallmann and WAB.

Applications and industries

• In pharmaceuticals, for micronizing APIs and excipients to improve bioavailability
• In food and beverage, for grinding spices, sugars, grains and dairy ingredients
• In chemicals and pigments, for dispersing solids into coatings, inks and additives
• In mineral processing, for dry or wet milling of calcium carbonate, kaolin and metal ores

Types of materials processed

• Dry solids such as powders, resins, pigments and minerals
• Wet slurries requiring emulsification or particle dispersion
• Heat-sensitive materials needing low-impact, cryogenic or inert atmosphere milling

Common materials of construction

Mills must be built to handle abrasive, corrosive or sanitary materials:

• 304 or 316L stainless steel for food, pharma and hygienic applications
• Hardened carbon steel or tool steel for heavy-duty mineral and metal grinding
• Ceramic-lined or jacketed designs for corrosive or temperature-controlled processes

Key features of industrial mills

• Fine and ultrafine particle size capability (down to sub-micron levels)
• Configurable for batch or continuous operation
• Explosion-proof and dust containment options for safety
• Variable-speed controls and screen size flexibility
• CIP-ready and cGMP-compliant models available
