Milling and crushing of APIs
Various types of mills and crushers are available to meet API manufacturing requirements.
Counter jet mill
・Particle diameter 5 μm or less
Hammer mill
・Particle diameter 5 μm to 50 μm
Power mill
・Various types of screens are available.
・Round hole screen: 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm
・Herringbone screen: 2 mm
Highly versatile spiral jet mill
- Milling particle diameter: 1 μm to 30 μm
- Production quantity: up to 30 kg/hr. 100 g to 100 kg/batch
- Simple structure that allows for easy cleaning Cleaning is possible in the isolator.
- Large particle sizes (up to 100 μm) are also possible. e.g. Q-MILL: up to 100 μm
- Can be expanded to handle milling at an extremely low temperature (-90°C)
- Prior testing of the milling capability can be performed(200 mg/batch)
Particle diameters can be controlled by adjusting the feed pressure, milling pressure, and feed amount.
