Milling powder products using process gas streams for medium and large industries

The MC DecJet 300/400/500 from Dec, are powder micronization systems for medium and large industries. Each unit has a wide capacity range starting with the DecJet 300 which has a 5 kg to 200 kg/h range, followed by The Decjet 400 with a 10 kg to 400 kg/h range and the DecJet 500 with a 20 kg to 800 kg/h capacity range. The process uses a gas stream inside a chamber where the large powder particles are fed and collide with each other until an acceptable size is obtained by a classifier. The micronized powder can be collected in a cyclone where it is separated from the process gas by a filter. The units feature integrated nozzles to prevent errors during installation, making it easy to assemble. The jet mill is made of high-grade materials such as AISI 316L stainless steel or Hastelloy. The system has an option to use full automation by PLC with batch reporting for added flexibility. The jet mill discharge is also available in top or bottom configurations and a sanitary rotary valve is available for product collection.

Milling powder by process gas stream for laboratory applications

The MC DecJet 50 from Dec, is a powder micronization system designed to handle powder quantities ranging from 35 grams to 200 grams/ hour. It is an ideal unit for clinical trials and scale-ups. The process begins with the powder going into an inlet that leads to the chamber with a pressurized process gas stream. The gas stream throws the larger particles to the outer edge of the chamber, where they collide with other particles and break up into smaller sizes. As the particles get smaller, they move to the center of the chamber and pass through a classifier going to the cyclone where a filter separates the gas stream and micronized powder.  The unit is easy to clean and assemble and it is constructed of high-grade materials such as AISI 316L stainless steel or Hastelloy.

Milling small amounts of powder using pressurized gas for R&D purposes

The MC DecJet 30 from Dec, is a powder micronization system designed to handle very small quantities of powder from 0.2 grams to 50 grams/ hour. The unit has compact dimensions, making it easy to transfer or move around. The process starts with the powder being fed into an inlet at subsonic speeds of about 50m/s. It goes to the chamber with jets of process gas stream, usually nitrogen, to prevent explosions at supersonic speeds of 300m/s. The powder particles collide and break into smaller sizes until they pass through the chamber’s center as a micronized powder. It is easy to clean and assemble as it does not require tools for assembly. It also features integrated nozzles to prevent errors in installation or leaks during the process. The system can also be integrated into isolators and gloveboxes.
