PBE Fluidized-bed jet mill combines micronization, air classification Fluidized-bed jet mill system incorporates dense-phase micronization using turbulent, free jets in combination with high-efficiency centrifugal air clas- sification within a common housing. System reduces chemicals, polymers, ceramics, and other friable materials, including abrasive and temperature- sensitive materials, offering precise top particle size control, with d 95 particle size distributions ranging from less than 70 microns to less than 5 microns. System allows enhanced comminution by high probability particle- on- particle impact for breakage and a high degree of particle dispersion for improved separation, resulting in low overall energy consumption. Aveka CCE Technologies, Woodbury, MN 888-317-3700 www.aveka.com Mill's redesign includes larger grinding jars Flex mill has been redesigned with larger grinding jars for low-cost, small production capabilities. Mill's jars can run simultaneously and can be all-polyurethane or solvent-resistant with leak-tight covers and 0.45- and 1.32-liter slurry capacities. Mill's round-bottom grinding jars offer dry grinding and improved wet grinding and dispersion with capabilities of 1 micron and below size reduction. Lab-size mill provides the same advan- tages of the supplier's toroidal bowl mills, including low contamination, narrow particle size distribution, and safe material containment. Sweco, Florence, KY 859-371-4360 www.sweco.com Rotary knife mill size-reduces material without overgrind or excessive fines Definer KM series rotary knife mill performs fine particle size reduction and delivers uniform particle size distribution with available capacities from 125 to 5,000 lb/h or more depending on the application. Mill employs high- shear knives that quickly and efficiently cut solids to the desired output size without overgrind or excessive fines. Mill is suitable for various materials, including hemp, spices, cannabis, and others. Mill reduces high volumes of material while minimizing heat rise and material overwork typically associ- ated with conventional processing equipment, such as hammermills.
