Jet mills
A jet mill is a type of grinding equipment that uses high-velocity jets of air or steam to reduce the size of particles. It operates by accelerating particles through a nozzle, causing them to collide with each other and break apart. This process is effective for producing fine powders, often in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries.
One of the key advantages of jet mills is that they do not require any grinding media, which can contaminate the final product. Instead, the particles themselves act as the grinding medium, ensuring a clean and precise milling process. This makes jet mills ideal for sensitive materials that need to maintain purity.
