An Air Jet Mill is a high-precision milling system designed for the micronization of powders using high-velocity compressed air, eliminating the need for mechanical grinding components. This technology delivers ultra-fine particle sizes with minimal heat generation, making it ideal for temperature-sensitive, abrasive, or hard-to-grind materials.
Air Jet Mills operate on the principle of particle-to-particle collision within a high-velocity airstream. As particles are accelerated and collide, they break down into extremely fine and uniform sizes—often reaching the 1–10 micron range or even smaller, depending on material properties and system configuration.
Ultra-fine particle size control: Achieves narrow particle size distribution suitable for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, minerals, food additives, and specialty materials.
No mechanical contamination: As there are no moving grinding media, the product remains pure with minimal wear.
Low heat generation: Ideal for heat-sensitive substances such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, and organic materials.
Energy-efficient milling: Optimized airflow and nozzle design improve milling efficiency and consistency.
Easy cleaning and maintenance: Smooth internal surfaces and tool-less access reduce downtime and cross-contamination.
Scalable design: Available from lab-scale R&D units to large industrial production systems.
