FAQ

Selection Guide Questions

Can this tool select the final machine model?+

No. It provides a preliminary direction only; final selection needs technical review and, where needed, material testing.

Why does material behavior affect equipment selection?+

Hardness, moisture, flowability, heat sensitivity and state can change the suitable process direction.

When should I consider a Hammer Mill?+

For general dry impact size reduction where the material and process direction support it.

When is a Conical Mill more appropriate?+

For controlled delumping or granule sizing where lower-impact processing is preferred.

When is a Jet Mill considered?+

For fine dry micronization after material, gas utility and target requirements are reviewed.

What is the difference between dry and wet grinding?+

Dry milling handles dry powder or granules; wet grinding evaluates slurries or suspensions with formulation considerations.

When is material testing recommended?+

For fine targets, difficult or sensitive materials, high-value materials and scale-up uncertainty.

Can the target particle size be guaranteed?+

No. It must be confirmed through technical review and testing where necessary.

What information is required for a quotation?+

Provide material, feed and target size, capacity, process, safety information and available URS or SDS.

Can you review a URS or SDS?+

Yes. Submit available documents through the existing RFQ route for technical review.
