Hanningfield designs and manufactures sanitary size reduction milling machines for dry and wet processes. Our industry leading pharma milling equipment achieves uniform size reduction in applications ranging from R&D and lab scale development to full scale production.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers require reliable equipment which will reduce the particle size of a drug powder to increase the surface area, increase bioavailability, improve dosage uniformity and improve formulation dissolution properties. By producing a consistent average particle size distribution (PSD), this provides manufacturers with a better quality mixture for creating oral solid dosage (OSD) products such as tablets and capsules.
High Performance and Versatile Conical Mill
The Hanningfield Uni-Mill uses conical milling technology to achieve the narrowest possible PSD, offering a reliable and high performance solution to customers. The design features an IP6X gearbox-driven impeller, rotating inside a screen (60º inclusive screen angle). This principle achieves particle size reduction by compression and shearing of the particles between the impeller and surface of the screen.
Uni-Mill M05-U
For low capacity applications, the Uni-Mill M05-U is designed to provide an affordable solution for manufacturers looking to trial and test new products or needing to handling small amounts of material at a time. The fast and simple tooling changes, allowing the operator to change the screen and impeller in <30 seconds, makes the M05-U perfect for experimentation.
Uni-Mill M10-U
The Uni-Mill M10-U is suited for pilot milling applications, and other low capacity uses. The mill provides results that can be straightforwardly correlated to production scale batches; ultimately minimising experimentation and reducing the overall duration of the pilot phase.
Uni-Mill M20-U
A wide scope of production applications will require the Uni-Mill M20-U for best results. The unit features a 203mm (8″) diameter screen and a 12″ feed chute and outlet, delivering the throughput and performance results that many customers need.
Uni-Mill M30-U
High capacity production applications are best suited to the Uni-Mill M30-U, which is capable of handling throughputs up to ~4000 kgs/hr (depending on material and application specifics).
All Uni-Mill models provide excellent versatility as they come with customisable and interchangeable tooling, allowing operators to change the screen hole size, screen hole shape and impeller type. It is therefore possible to use the same mill for multiple products and various applications, including dry and wet milling.
Alongside pharma milling applications, our equipment is a proven success across the biotech, nutraceutical, food, cosmetic and chemical manufacturing industries.
As standard, all contact parts are manufactured from 316L stainless steel (180 grit), with FDA compliant seals, gaskets etc. Non-contact parts such as frames, motor covers and control panels are manufactured from 304 stainless steel (150 grit). All standard materials of construction and surface finishes can be upgraded or downgraded upon request.
