The Skyline Ball Mill is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for size reduction applications. It consists of a cylindrical shell, closed at both ends, which rotates around a horizontal axis. The grinding media inside the shell reduce the particle size of the material through the principle of attrition.
Salient Features
Versatile Grinding
Capabilities: Capable
of handling a wide range of materials—including hard, abrasive, or soft
substances—making it suitable for diverse pharmaceutical applications.
Efficient Size Reduction: Produces fine and uniform
particle sizes, essential for maintaining consistency and efficacy in
pharmaceutical formulations.
Customisation Milling
Parameters: Adjustable
speed, milling time, and material-to-media ratio help optimise the milling
process for specific product requirements.
High Throughput: Designed to efficiently
process both small laboratory batches and large-scale production volumes.
Contamination-Free Processing:
Constructed
using materials like stainless steel or ceramic to ensure product purity
and prevent contamination.
Easy Maintenance and Cleaning: Engineered for quick
disassembly and cleaning to meet stringent cGMP hygiene and validation
requirements.
Safety Features: Equipped with interlocks,
guards, and emergency stop functions to ensure operator safety and
reliable operation.
Energy Efficient: Designed to deliver maximum
milling performance while minimising power consumption.
Scalability: Available in multiple
sizes and configurations suitable for R&D, pilot-scale, and full-scale
production environments.
The
Skyline Sky Mill is widely used for sizing, high-speed shredding, and grinding
of powders, granules, tablets, and various wet and dry materials. Unlike the
four common principles of size reduction—cutting, attrition, impact, and
pressure—which often do not provide controlled size reduction, this machine
operates on the principle of centrifugal shearing force, ensuring uniform
particle size. It is
extensively used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for
shredding rejected tablets, dry milling, wet milling, and de-lumping oversized
materials. The Sky Mill features an innovative design and optimised geometry of
the conical screen and impeller, enabling superior performance and efficiency.
