Industrial powder milling solution
Achieve precise particle size control and improve material flowability with this advanced milling technology, crucial for optimizing tablet dissolution and enhancing absorption rates in continuous or batch processing environments.

Reduces Particle Size and Compacts Materials
The Fitzpatrick M5A, D6A, DASO6, DKASO12 Hammer Mills, and SDx™ Series Scalable Lab System offer precise control over particle size reduction and material compaction. Utilizing mechanical ‘in-air’ impact forces, these hammer mills ensure consistent particle size distribution, essential for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food, chemical, and cannabis industries. Capable of both batch and continuous operations, they provide versatility for various production settings, from lab to high-speed industrial environments. The design allows for customization in rotor speeds and screen geometries, ensuring compatibility with different material characteristics and process requirements. Certified to adhere to GMP and FDA standards, these systems integrate seamlessly into existing production lines and feature reversible blades for efficient granulation. Easy to maintain with CIP systems, they support effective and contamination-free cleaning. Available in robust material options to prevent corrosion, Fitzpatrick’s equipment guarantees durability in demanding application conditions.
