Hosokawa’s Top 5 Milling Technologies – Coarse to Ultra-Fine

For the last 100 years, Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems has been the world’s leader in size reduction systems for powder processing. Hosokawa’s mills are not only durable and reliable, but also come in a variety of models to fit any powder processing need. In a modern economy, this is especially important, as the ability to create products with specific qualities for specific applications has become more important than ever. This video will give you an overview of Hosokawa’s top five milling technologies.

Hammer and Screen Mills

The Mikro Pulverizer Hammer and Screen Mill and the Mikro UMP Universal Mill are capable of size reduction down to D90 < 45µm, provided that the material has a Moh’s hardness of less than 4. It is suitable for processing chemicals, pharmaceuticals, minerals, and food materials, and comes in laboratory, pilot, and production models.

Pin Mills

The Alpine UPZ and the Mikro UMP Pin Mills are capable of size reduction down to D97 < 35µm, provided that the material has a Moh’s hardness of 4 or less. It is suitable for pharmaceutical, food, and chemical applications, and comes in laboratory, pilot, and production models.

Air Classifying Mills

The Mikro ACM Air Classifying Mill is capable of size reduction down to D97 < 20µm, provided that the material has a Moh’s hardness of 5 or less. It is suitable for Chemical, Mineral, Food, and Pharmaceutical applications, and comes in laboratory, pilot, and production models.

Jet Mills

The Alpine AFG Fluidized Bed Jet Mill is capable of size reduction down to D97 < 3µm, and is capable of processing materials with a Moh’s hardness of up to 10. It is suitable for chemical, mineral, and pharmaceutical applications, and comes in a range of models from laboratory to full production.

Ball Mills

The Alpine SO Super Orion Ball Mill is capable of size reduction down to D50 < 2µm, and is designed to mill hard and abrasive materials. It is suitable for mineral and chemical applications, and is capable of processing up to 100,000 pounds of material per hour.
