The R&D QMill is engineered to meet the requirements of R&D labs, where new products are developed and micronization process is requested on small quantities (from minimum 1g to few kgs).
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 cleaning and validation activities.
The R&D QMill 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-2 has been engineered in order to give higher product yield to encounter all of these needs:
* 1g is minimum batch micronised
* Recovered product: more than 80%, starting from 0.2g batch
Despite the reduced dimensions, this jet mill keeps the same performances and advantages of bigger QMILL.
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 […]
FPS is proud to present a series of free webinars dedicated to the world of containment and micronisation. Don’t miss this event: register today for the first free webinar about Single-digit nanogram containment performances: How to integrate process equipment in isolators. https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2275957615732507993?source=WEB Speaker: Frederic LePape
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 […]
