Jet milling is the term commonly applied to fluid energy milling. It is a process utilizing the potential energy of a compressible fluid and converting it to kinetic energy within the mill grinding chamber. This occurs when compressed gas is injected through specially designed nozzles.

Jet Milling of Ultra Fine Powders. Fluid Energy engineers recognize that no one jet mill is suitable for all process applications. We employ three jet mill designs: loop mill, spiral/pancake mill, and fluid bed mill to enable efficient grinding of a wide range of materials. Learn More...

Fluid Energy mills such as pancake, loop, and fluid bed mills, are used to break down granular material to fine powders. All jet mills are continuously operating devices so an overall milling system requires additional equipment beyond just the mill.

Fluid Energy offers a comprehensive range of fully scalable research and development grinding systems perfectly suited for laboratory applications. The self-contained portable tray systems are designed to process batch sizes ranging from 1g to several kilos while maintaining yields in excess of 95 percent.

Fluid Energy Mill Overview. Jet milling or fluid-energy grinding is used for comminution or pulverizing granular material into fine powder with a narrow size distribution. A fluidized bed jet mill has a cylindrical grinding chamber with air jets pointing at each other.

The JET-O-MIZER jet mill has been developed with many distinct design features to consume less power, provide a greater range of throughput (1 to 12,000 lb/hr) and ensure exceptional finished product quality.

The Equipment Division of Fluid Energy, (formerly Fluid Energy Aljet), is one of the world’s largest jet mill suppliers in the industry, with over 60 years of experience in jet milling and flash drying technologies.

The Roto-Jet jet milling machine is a fluid bed jet mill which features opposed grinding nozzles and a dynamic classifier. Opposed nozzles reduce abrasion while the classifier rotor operates at variable speeds to provide ultimate control of the particle size distribution.

Fluid Energy Mill Overview. The original invention of loop or donut mill is credited to Cleo Harold Kidwell and Nicholas NK Stephanoff (founder of Fluid Energy Processing and Equipment).1. An early application of the Fluid Energy Jet-O-Mizer was for pulverizing solid, heating fuels.2.

The Thermajet™ flash dryer is an innovative variation on toroidal jet milling technology, using a low-pressure (i.e. 2-10 psig) hot gas to dry and deagglomerate a wet feed. A hot gas is introduced into the ThermaJet through nozzles to create a high velocity, rotating gas/product stream.
