Mikro ACM® Air Classifying Mills were invented by HMPS in the late 1960’s and are one of the most versatile types of size reduction equipment available in the market. These units while being capable of producing fine, medium and coarse grinds for a wide variety of materials for Food, Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Mineral industries, require very little maintenance over their life span. The basic design of these mills is the impact size reduction that is coupled with an internal dynamic classifier which controls the outlet (product) particle size via recirculating the coarse particles back into the grinding zone.

There are seven main factors which determine particle size distribution for the Mikro ACM® Air Classifying Mill. When varied, the rotor type and speed combined with the liner and hammer count affects the production of fines. The separator type and speed affects the top size of the product. And lastly, the airflow governs the throughput as well as top size and fines generation. With the endless available options a machine can be configured to process just about any material that is below MOH’s hardness of 5.

Protein Shifting


By concentrating the proteins found in legumes such as peas, beans and soya, food engineers have successfully replaced animal proteins for many applications with vegetable based ingredients.

In a protein shifting process, the legumes are finely ground using an air classifying mill to disintegrate the endosperm and liberate the protein and starch. The Mikro ACM® Air Classifying Mill  is one of the most effective size reduction systems for fine milling of dry legumes to the appropriate particle size, ideal for separation. The ground materials are pneumatically conveyed to an Alpine® ATP Turboplex Air Classifier  which separates the coarse, low protein material from the fine, protein rich material.

The two material fractions are both collected and have multiple uses. Coarse, low protein/ high starch material can be used as a confectionery ingredient, starch for pasta, as a thickening agent, alcohol manufacturing or plastic film production. Fine, protein rich/ low starch materials are used in infant formulas, animal/livestock feed, fish farm feed or as a nutritional supplement.
