Mechanical Milling

Whether your drug is in development, starting clinical trials, or ready for commercial production, Micron can deliver a mechanical milling solution that’s perfectly suited to your needs. For larger particle size requirements, you can count on our mechanical milling to safely deliver the highest yields—on time and on budget. 

From ensuring proper blend uniformity to optimizing release profiles, our mechanical milling operations provide superior results.

Hammer Mill- We can use this high-throughput mill for a variety of size reduction requirements including delumping, milling to a specific particle range, and fine grinding applications. Hammers along with interchangeable screen sizes work in conjunction to provide the final particle size.

Pin Mill- This mill provides a uniform particle size without the need for screens. Particle size reduction takes place between two plates containing pins, one stationary and one rotating. This mill can provide a smaller particle size than hammer mill.

Conical Mill-This mill can be used to reduce the size of material in a uniform manner. It is an alternative to the hammermill or other forms of grinding mills.  Particle size reduction takes place via a rotating impeller.  The impeller forces the material outward to a conical screen surface where it is sized and passed through the openings in the screen.

Same quality standards as our micronization projects

Mechanical milling projects at Micron Technologies are delivered with the same analytical support and quality systems used in our other processes. We always work to ensure that your project is managed effectively, meeting your specific requirements.
