"Any
sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
APTM's
commitment for good micronisation:
SINGLE-PASS
EFFECTIVENESS:
|
- the requested
particle size is achieved in a one passand continuous operation
that avoids material overwork and losses during additional handling
|
PRODUCT STABILITY:
|
- the absence
of moving parts avoids attritional heat and the cooling effect
of the compressed air, as it expands at the jets, creates an
ideal environment for pharmaceuticals, plastics, pesticides
and other heat-sensitive materials
- high-reactive
products with risk of oxidation or explosion in conventional
grinding are micronised with inert gases
|
OPTIMIZED EFFICIENCY:
|
- while many
jetmills produce micron-size particles, none can match the uniformity
and narrow particle size distribution of APTM's micronisers
that benefit from our proprietary optimization algorithm, an
established computational procedure routinely applied for every
machine
- our micronisers
feature replaceable nozzle rings with an optimized grinding
angle for each product
- particle shape
and narrow size distribution are optimized by classifiers and
the built-in cyclone
|
OUTSTANDING
PURITY:
|
- particle-on-particle
collision grinding and horizontal feed into the milling chamber
avoid any metal contamination
- direct product
collection from the grinding chamber, avoids fiber contamination
- the whole system
is sanitary, USDA-accepted design and made of AISI 316L stainless
steel, with mirror finish, 400-600 grit (Ra 0.15-0.20µm)
of contact parts, without threads or recessed surfaces
- allows perfect
cleaning of components and fast changeover without risk of cross-contamination
|
VERSATILE SIMPLICITY:
|
- the clean design
of our micronisers is embodiment of simplicity with very few,
cylindrical parts and quick-release clamp connections that disassemble
by hand ... no tools required
- different products,
crystalline structures and grinding specs can be processed with
the same machine through simple substitution of three components.
- SuperJet and
StarJet are unique micronisers that are second to none in terms
of versatility in the laboratory or production environment.
|
COMPACT MODULARITY:
|
- years of extensive
research on materials and technologies determined a very compact,
modular design of our micronisers, that allows customization
and quick delivery
- complete modularity
and interchangeability assure low investment costs and the flexibility
to re-configure the system should the range of products change
|
INTRINSIC SAFETY:
|
- every our microniser
is a closed system that avoids release of fine dust to the environment,
even in case of machine failure or human faults
- when special
safety issues are required by sterile, toxic, reactive or potentially
explosive products, we build intrinsically safe machines that
answer all these issues
- thanks to the
compact size of equipment, total containment technology can
be applied without compromise and features glove-boxes and half-suit
isolators, kept at negative or positive pressure in respect
to the environment
- nitrogen-inerted
systems, argon isolators, class 1000 sterile processing, inerted,
closed-loop systems that are independent of liquid storage or
16 barg pressure systems operated with compressed air are available
and designed to local safety and pressure-shock resistant regulations
