Micronizer Jet Mill
Because its milling chamber has the same configuration as larger production mills, the new Qualification Micronizer jet mill enables pharmaceutical laboratories to develop powder formulations with desired fine particle sizes on small scale, before confidently proceeding to clinical trial and production quantities. The Micronizer can mill up to half a pound of material per hour, yet is capable of feed rates as low as a few grams per hour with maximum sample recovery.
