Lab scale hammer mills for fine particle size reduction
In laboratory settings, developing consistent particle size distribution is crucial when scaling up from R&D to production. Challenges include maintaining yield and minimizing screen residue while achieving precise, controlled particle sizes.
Achieve finer particle sizes with high impact hammer milling
The Scalable Lab System (SLS) by The Fitzpatrick Company is designed for precise particle size reduction in lab environments. This system allows for interchangeable milling heads, such as the L1A high impact hammer mill head, providing control over particle sizes from 20 to 300 µm. With metered feed control and two blade configurations, the SLS is adaptable to specific material characteristics while handling small samples as low as 5 grams. This enables fully transferable results from lab-scale to production, minimizing variance in particle size distribution. The Fitzpatrick Company’s SLS meets cGMP requirements and is suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food processing, and fine chemical applications.
