No pharmaceutical processing line is complete without a mill for handling both active and inactive materials for the manufacture of tablets and other products. To date, cone mills and hammer mills still play some of the largest roles in pharmaceutical processing due to their versatility.
Both cone mills and hammer mills have smaller footprints in processing environments where space is at a premium. Many of these mills are now equipped with integrated lifting columns, allowing them to adjust to fit into virtually any processing line. Further, their portability allows manufacturers to increase efficiency by moving — and sometimes dismantling — them quickly for cleaning.
Here are some of the latest trends in cone and hammer milling, including a look into how one manufacturer increased its processing efficiencies by installing three new hammer mills.
