Micromix specializes in the contract processing of powdered ingredients for quality-driven industries.

We process natural, mineral, and functional materials, tailoring each operation to achieve the particle size distribution and performance characteristics required by the application.

Our experience covers a broad range of materials, including:

• Functional compounds and active ingredients for nutraceutical applications
• Mineral materials and inorganic salts
• Components for medical device and technical applications
• Botanical extracts and dried herbs
• Additives, pigments, and specialty ingredients for cosmetic and industrial use

Through micronization, milling, blending, and sieving, we manage every stage of the process—from feasibility trials to full-scale production—within a structured operating environment designed to ensure consistency, reliability, and process control.

Precision Particle Size Control for Advanced Applications

Micronization is a mechanical process used to reduce and precisely control particle size distribution when standard milling is not sufficient to achieve the desired product characteristics.

At Micromix, micronization is performed using multiple technologies, including:

• Jet mills operating with high-purity compressed air
• Opposed-disc systems with controlled grinding pressure
• High-speed milling technologies

These solutions allow us to adapt process conditions to different material characteristics and particle size requirements.

When Micronization Is Required

Micronization is typically selected when a finer and more controlled particle size distribution is needed to support product performance or downstream processing.

Typical objectives include:

• Controlled particle size reduction
• Improved powder uniformity
• Enhanced flowability and handling
• Optimization of material behavior during formulation and manufacturing

Micronization vs. Milling

Although often used together, milling and micronization serve different purposes.

• Milling
  is generally used for coarse particle size reduction or as a preliminary processing step.
• Micronization
  is employed when tighter particle size control and more demanding product specifications are required.

In many applications, milling prepares the material while micronization achieves the final particle size target.

Flexible Production Volumes

Projects can range from small pilot batches to industrial-scale production, depending on customer requirements and project objectives.

Particle Size Reduction for Material Preparation

Milling is used to reduce particle size and prepare materials for subsequent processing operations.

Micromix utilizes a range of milling technologies, including:

• Variable-speed impact mills
• Pin mills
• Hammer mills
• Adjustable-speed grinding systems
• Interchangeable screens for particle size control
• Ball mills for specialized applications

This flexibility allows us to select the most appropriate process for each material and target specification.

Typical Applications

Milling is often the preferred solution when fine particle size control is not required.

It is commonly used to:

• Reduce coarse or structured materials
• Improve material uniformity
• Prepare products for blending or micronization
• Improve flowability and processability

Processing Objectives

Our milling operations are designed to:

• Achieve controlled particle size reduction
• Improve product consistency
• Support stable and efficient manufacturing processes
• Meet customer-specific processing requirements

Consistency and Uniformity in Powder Processing
Blending plays a critical role in ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients within powders and premixes.

Micromix utilizes multiple blending technologies, including:

• Screw mixers
• Ribbon blenders
• V-blenders

These systems allow us to process materials with different densities and particle size distributions while maintaining blend uniformity.

Why Blending Matters
Blending is used to:

• Ensure homogeneous ingredient distribution
• Improve batch-to-batch consistency
• Reduce segregation risk
• Stabilize product performance during downstream processing

Production Capacity
Micromix can process batch sizes ranging from approximately 20 kg to 1,000 kg, depending on the material and mixing technology selected.

Sieving and Particle Size Classification
As part of the finishing process, sieving operations are used to stabilize and control particle size distribution.

Using vibrating screening systems with interchangeable mesh sizes, we can:

• Remove oversized or unwanted fractions
• Improve particle size consistency
• Meet customer-defined specifications

Integrated Packaging Solutions

Packaging is managed as an integrated part of the production process to ensure product traceability and operational efficiency.

Available packaging formats include:

• Foil laminate bags
• Bulk bags (500–1,000 kg)
• Cartons with protective liners

Packaging solutions are selected according to product characteristics, handling requirements, and customer specifications.

Quality and consistency are at the core of every project.

Each process is developed around the characteristics of the material and the customer’s technical requirements, ensuring the most appropriate manufacturing approach for each application.

Key elements include:

• Particle size analysis and distribution control
• Batch-to-batch process consistency
• Full production traceability
• Flexible production volumes, from pilot batches to industrial-scale manufacturing
• Quality system based on ISO 9001 principles and HACCP methodology

Micronization is not always the optimal solution.

Our team works closely with customers to evaluate materials and identify the most effective processing strategy based on technical requirements, performance objectives, and cost considerations.

Before full-scale production, Micromix conducts feasibility studies and pilot-scale trials to verify process suitability and establish operating parameters.

This approach minimizes development risk and helps ensure a smooth transition from testing to commercial production.
