Jet Milling for Pharmaceutical APIs
An API milling trial needs to assess more than the final particle size. Heat sensitivity, moisture uptake, agglomeration and powder recovery all influence the route. We evaluate jet milling with the required contact materials, cleaning access and batch operation, then use laboratory results to define the next stage of process development.
- Measure the particle-size distribution, powder recovery and temperature response.
- Specify contact materials, cleaning access and batch-change requirements.
- Use laboratory trials to assess scale-up and the documentation needed for your project.

Why start with a laboratory trial for an API?
APIs differ in heat sensitivity, moisture uptake and agglomeration. A representative trial helps assess the target particle size, powder recovery and process behavior before a larger system is selected.
Does a cleanable equipment design mean GMP certification?
No. Contact materials and cleaning access are equipment features. GMP requirements, qualification documents and site validation must be agreed separately for the project.
Can a small sample be used for D50, D90 and D97 measurements?
Feasibility depends on the available quantity, material condition and measurement method. Tell us the sample amount and required test outputs before sending material so the trial scope can be confirmed.
What cleaning and documentation requirements should we provide?
State the intended contact materials, batch-change procedure, cleaning and verification expectations, and required equipment documents. These are reviewed with the process requirements before the configuration is finalized.
