Lab-scale milling and processing platform
Effortlessly transition from lab-scale research to full production with a versatile milling system that guarantees consistent particle sizes, enabling precise control and product quality across diverse applications.

Facilitates Precise Milling and Screening Operations
The Scalable Lab System (SLS)™ from Quadro Engineering offers a compact, multi-functional platform for lab-scale milling and screening. This system uniquely integrates conical milling, hammer milling, security screening, fine grinding, and delumping, making it indispensable in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, chemical, and cannabis production. The SLS is designed to ensure consistent particle size distribution, thanks to its adaptable Smart-Detect™ technology, which allows rapid head swaps without setup changes. Supporting a capacity range from 5 grams to 150 kilograms per hour, it enables seamless scaling from R&D to full production. Its ATEX compliance ensures safety in explosive environments, while its stainless steel construction guarantees durability and chemical resistance. Fully compliant with GMP standards, the SLS promises efficient processing with minimal energy consumption, complemented by easy cleaning and maintenance capabilities.
