Pilot-scale milling and screening platform
When transitioning from lab-scale experiments to production-scale processes, ensuring consistent and scalable results can present significant challenges, including maintaining precision in particle size reduction and screening.

Offers multiple milling and screening solutions
The SDx™ Series by The Fitzpatrick Company combines conical milling, security screening, and hammer milling on a single platform. This system facilitates easy head changes thanks to SMARTdetect™ technology, which automatically recognizes the head type and adjusts the RPM range. Suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fine chemical formulations, the platform ensures compliance with various safety standards such as ATEX and UKEX. It features a greaseless gearbox, high-efficiency screen options, and CIP improvements, providing a low cost of ownership by combining three functionalities in one. Both the production-scale and mid-size models offer capacity improvements of 40%-50% over similar technologies, delivering reliable and efficient powder processing solutions.
