Laboratory Jet Mill
Lab Jet Mill
A laboratory jet mill supports material trials, formulation work, and early process development. Assess particle size, recovery, temperature behavior, and cleaning requirements before planning the next scale of equipment.
Develop a process before choosing production equipment
Use testing to answer a defined process question, such as reaching a target distribution, limiting contamination, or recovering a valuable sample. Laboratory results support process development; production scale-up requires a separate assessment.
- Agree available sample quantity and required measurements before sending material.
- Check recovery and equipment hold-up as well as final particle size.
- Record trial conditions for a consistent comparison with later pilot work.

Key Features
Minimal Sample Quantity
The practical trial quantity depends on configuration, material hold-up, collection, and required measurements. Confirm the sample quantity before testing.
Scalable Data
Laboratory results provide a basis for pilot work. Throughput and settings do not transfer automatically to a larger production unit.
High Sample Recovery
Collection is selected around the sample and test objectives. Include retained powder and collection losses when evaluating recovery.
Low Temperature Rise
Gas expansion cooling. Suitable for heat-sensitive materials and diverse R&D samples.
Fast Disassembly & Cleaning
Compact structure, easy to disassemble. Quick cleaning between different materials during R&D experiments.
Particle Size Analysis Support
Can be paired with laser particle size analyzer to provide D50/D90/D97 measurement reports and complete trial run data.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum sample quantity required?
Confirm the sample quantity with the technical team before testing. The amount required depends on the equipment, powder behavior, collection losses, measurements, and number of conditions to be compared.
Can lab trial data be used directly for production equipment selection?
Trial data provides important reference values, but scale-up is not linear. We recommend using the lab trial to confirm process feasibility, then running a small-scale production trial to verify before finalizing the equipment selection.
Can we come to your facility for a trial run without owning a lab unit?
Yes. We offer sample testing services where customers bring a small quantity of material and our engineers operate the equipment. After the trial, you receive a particle size analysis report and grinding parameter records — no equipment purchase needed.
What does the trial run report include?
Typically: process parameter records, particle size measurement data (D50/D90/D97), particle size distribution curves, engineer's preliminary selection recommendation, and parameter trend guidance for scale-up to production equipment.
How should we evaluate a trial with a valuable sample?
Agree the sample quantity, collection arrangement, and required measurements first. Review the recovered powder and material retained in the system along with particle-size results, rather than assessing fineness alone.
