Ultra-Fine Particle Sizes with CPR’s Jet Milling Capabilities:

Jet milling is a cutting-edge micronization process that utilizes high-velocity compressed air or gas to achieve exceptionally fine particle sizes, often ranging from 50 microns down to less than 10 microns, and even smaller in some applications. This method relies on high-energy collisions between particles to grind them down, offering significant advantages over traditional mechanical milling.


How Jet Milling Process Works:

At CPR our state-of-the-art jet mills, materials are accelerated through precisely engineered nozzles into a grinding chamber. Within this chamber, particle size reduction occurs through high-speed, particle-on-particle impact. An integrated classifier wheel ensures that only particles reaching the desired size are drawn off, resulting in a product with a tight and consistent particle size distribution. The absence of moving parts in jet mills minimizes the risk of contamination and eliminates heat generation from friction.

When is Jet Milling the Ideal Solution?

CPR’s jet milling services are particularly well-suited for applications where:

  • Ultra-Fine Particles are Essential: Achieving particle sizes in the single to low double-digit micron range is critical for product performance.
  • Heat Sensitivity is a Concern: Materials prone to thermal degradation benefit from the cool grinding action of jet milling.
  • Purity is Paramount: The absence of mechanical contact minimizes contamination, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food-grade materials.
  • Precise Particle Size Distribution is Required: CPR’s advanced equipment and expertise ensure a consistent and narrow particle size range.
  • Difficult-to-Grind Materials are Involved: Jet milling effectively processes hard, brittle, and crystalline substances like pigments, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and specialty chemicals.

Industries Served:

With decades of experience, CPR has successfully applied jet milling to a diverse range of products and industries, including:

  • Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Micronizing APIs, excipients, supplements, and other ingredients requiring enhanced bioavailability and dissolution rates.
