MEC Test Center is an exciting addition to FPS capabilities; it is located at FPS production facility in Fiorenzuola d’Arda (Italy). Our R&D and Test Center is equipped with ISO8 test suites that allow the execution of micronization technical tests from laboratory to pilot, to production quantities.
The center is equipped with state-of-the-art with up-to-date jet milling and milling equipment as well as the analytical instruments. Two hard-wall isolators are also available to protect the products and the technicians. The MEC can be used for process optimization of a known product or for defining the best process of a new product.
Special configuration of micronization equipment can be arranged for dedicated testing on a large range of size reduction machines.
