Technical Description
Pharmaceutical cone milling from laboratory to production
The Hanningfield Uni-Mill under-driven conical mill range supports powder size reduction and deagglomeration. Interchangeable screens and impellers allow the milling setup to be matched to the material and required particle size distribution.
The range includes the M05-U, M10-U, M20-U and M30-U. Use the model specifications below to compare screen diameter, motor power, dimensions and stated maximum throughput. Actual throughput and achievable particle size depend on the material, screen, impeller, speed and feed conditions.
Plan a useful material trial
Define the starting material, target particle size distribution, required throughput and acceptable product temperature before selecting a mill. Record the setup and measure yield, fines and repeatability during the trial.
Read our pharmaceutical cone mill trial checklist to prepare a brief and agree acceptance criteria with your team.
Match the mill to your process
Tell us whether you are developing a laboratory process, scaling up a pilot batch or specifying a production line. Include powder characteristics, batch size, feed arrangement and the downstream process so that the proposed mill can be assessed in context.
Specify your cleaning method, containment requirements and hazardous-area classification where applicable. ATEX configurations and cleaning options must be selected for the application; they are not interchangeable with a standard specification.
Connect milling, transfer and blending
A mill can form part of a wider powder handling system. Discuss the interfaces between vacuum conveying, milling and IBC blending, including transfer rate, connections, access and cleaning.
Explore Hanningfield system integration or contact your regional team to discuss a cone mill selection or trial.
