Fluidised bed opposed jet mill for fine particle processing

Achieve precise and consistent particle sizes with high-speed micronization, ensuring your powders meet the exact specifications required for advanced applications across diverse sectors.

Processes and Classifies Ultra-Fine Powders

The TDG High-Performance Jet Mill from Hosokawa Alpine excels in ultra-fine powder processing, providing a technological edge in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food production. Utilizing a fluidised bed opposed jet milling system, it achieves high fineness and throughput by employing a new double flooded classifying wheel based on Vorced Fortex Technology. This equipment is particularly effective for applications ranging from mineral powders to metal and polymer additive manufacturing.

The TDG jet mill operates using high-speed compressed gas, accelerated via Laval nozzles for optimal particle micronization. It supports continuous operation with a dynamic deflector-wheel classifier ensuring precise classification of particles as small as micron levels. The equipment is capable of processing applications like talc, barium sulfate, and various advanced materials, producing end-products such as metal 3D printing powders and API inhaler formulations.

This model supports a processing capacity with throughput augmentation at consistent fineness. Featuring high-speed and large-classifying wheel capability, it reduces energy consumption by integrating high product loading in nozzle jets. Available in materials like mild steel, stainless steel, or wear-resistant ceramic (Al2O3), it caters to diverse operational needs, supporting compliance with industry standards.

Additionally, the TDG offers ease in maintenance with intuitive control mechanisms, ensuring reliable high-capacity operation while reducing operational costs. Customization support includes rotor speeds and material build adjustments, ensuring integration into specialized production lines for enhanced process optimization.
