The Production QMill Series is engineered to encounter the request from production facilities, where large volumes are processed in a flexible and efficient operation.
All connections of components are made to be in compliance with cGMPs and to assure quick and easy assembling and disassembling operations. The number of components is reduced at minimum in order to speed up also handling, cleaning and validation activities.
The Production QMill series jet mills may be easily integrated into FPS isolators to allow the process of very high active or sterile products.
At FPS MEC Test Centre it is possible to perform technical trials with your products and FPS Q-Mills.

The QMill-10 is engineered for final particle size between 15-20µm and 100µm (D50). Starting PSD of raw material is 2-3mm approx. It is the best solution to give higher product yield with batch size from 5g to 2500Kg with productivity from 2 to 150kg/h.
The QMill-14 is required for final particle size between 15-20µm and 100µm (D50). Starting PSD of raw material is of 2-3mm approx. It is engineered to give higher product yield with batch size from 10g to 5000kg with productivity from 5 to 300kg/h.
A spiral jet mill is a piece of equipment used to reduce the particle size of pharmaceutical and fine chemical powders down to few micrometers. It is made of different components, each designed for a specific part of the micronization process. The product is first poured in a feeder where it is fed into the product line of […]
Issues: Particle size reduction down to low micron is needed Operators must be protected because product is very dusty Large campaigns with expensive product: highest productivity is needed High Potent apis will be added in the future “High Potent Ready” solution: Air-tight separation cyclone with WIP to contain dust Modular micronization equipment for easy integration […]
Contrary to a traditional mechanical mill, a jet mill uses a high-pressure process gas (usually compressed air or nitrogen) as milling energy. Particle-to-particle collision is what reduces the powder size. No mechanical crushing is involved. The most important part of a Jet Mill is the grinding chamber. If is fitted with a series of calibrated nozzles that distributes […]
Last month we asked our followers: Which is the best way to handle powders? Occupational Exposure Limits Quantities involved Particle size distribution Frequency & duration – process The right answer is Particle size distribution. Find out more here!
