Particle size control equipment for pharmaceutical applications
Achieve precise particle size control for diverse materials with advanced milling solutions designed to handle everything from tough crystalline substances to heat-sensitive viscous materials, ensuring optimal product quality and consistency.

Crushes and Sieves for Precise Particle Control
The AUSMILL series from AUSTAR offers specialized hammer, cone, and centrifugal sieve mills designed for precise particle size control across pharmaceutical, food, and fine chemical industries. These mills efficiently crush and sieve a wide range of materials, utilizing a star-type valve for dust-free operation and customizable screen sizes ranging from 0.2 to 10 mm. The HMA series hammer mills feature dual-action rotors—one side for crystalline materials and the other for fibrous substances—with integrated temperature monitoring and cavity cooling for minimal heat impact. The CMA cone mills are ideal for viscous materials with a beveled or rounded rotor to prevent bridging and ensure smooth operation. For high-capacity needs, the SCMA centrifugal sieve mills offer an innovative sieving method to maintain low temperature rises, perfect for heat-sensitive products. With capabilities like CIP/SIP for easy cleaning and real-time process monitoring via a control system, these mills support various end-products like tablets, nutraceutical powders, and seasoning blends while ensuring compliance with industry standards. Customizable configurations and engineering support make the AUSMILL an adaptable choice for specific production needs.
