Milling for Food and Functional Powders
For food ingredients and functional powders, milling must be assessed alongside heat sensitivity, hygiene and cleaning. Material composition also matters: oily or sticky feeds may build up inside the system. A sample trial helps establish whether jet milling or mechanical impact can meet the particle-size target while keeping the process within the material's temperature and handling limits.
- Measure temperature response against the ingredient's processing limit.
- Define hygienic contact materials, cleaning access and batch-change needs.
- Check powder flow, buildup and recovery with a representative sample.

Is jet milling suitable for heat-sensitive ingredients?
It can be a suitable route, but the actual temperature response must be measured against the ingredient's limit. A trial should also check the required product properties; milling alone does not guarantee that they are preserved.
What hygiene requirements should be specified?
Provide the applicable product and site requirements, preferred contact materials, cleaning procedure and batch-change expectations. These guide the equipment configuration and any verification documents required.
Can oily spices be processed directly?
Oily or sticky powders may cause wall buildup and unstable feeding. A representative trial should check flow and deposits before deciding whether preparation or a cooling configuration is needed.
How is cross-batch cleaning considered?
Cleaning access, dismantling requirements and the customer's changeover procedure should be reviewed during selection. The cleaning method and its verification need to suit the ingredients handled by the line.
