Particle size reduction with the help of hammer milling technology is used to enhance powder properties so that the material has better reactivity, flowability, compactability and bulk density. In the pharmaceutical sector, hammer milling machines are utilised to get particle sizes that boost the dissolution of a tablet and increase the rate of absorption. When it comes to selecting the right hammer milling machine, the choice ultimately depends on the required size range of the product. At IDEX India, we bring to you a wide range of hammer milling machines from the renowned and revered manufacturer, Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick’s machines make use of the latest hammer milling technology that helps in producing smaller PSDs. Their machines are much more suited to difficult and abrasive mill products. The following parts of the mill machine make all the difference.
• The blade – Blades can be of two types. For gentle granulation, the blades might be knife-edged and for aggressive and more impact particle size reduction, the blade might be blunt-edged. You can also find hammer mill machines with blades that come with reversible edges. This makes the machine truly versatile.
• Rotor speed and screen type – Altering the screen design and rotor speed makes it possible to get a wide variety of results from a single hammer mill machine. This means that you can invest in one machine, but adjust it to suit your specific product requirements. For every combination of screen and rotor screen, particles in a specific size range are allowed to pass through the screen and go out of the machine.
• Speed – The speed of the machine matter because if the speed is slow, the approach angle is going to increase and the machine will allow larger particles to pass through.
