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
