4.1 Size reduction of solid foods 4.1.1 Theory In all types of size reduction there are three types of force used to reduce the size of foods: 1. compression forces 2. impact forces 3. shearing (or attrition) forces. In most size reduction equipment, all three forces are present, but often one is more important than the others.

Size reduction Size reduction is a process of reducing large solid unit masses - vegetables or chemical substances into small unit masses, coarse particles or fine particles. Size reduction is commonly employed in pharmaceutical industries. Size reduction process is also referred to as Comminution and Grinding.

Two types of mills are commonly used in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process in order to reduce particle size: the hammer mill and the conical mill (Comil). Comils come in a variety of sizes, including tabletop laboratory devices to full-scale, high-capacity machines used for large pharmaceutical processing operations4. Compared with other ...

Whether the materials are friable or not will affect the type of particle size reduction equipment that's optimal. In addition to material type, the starting and final size of the milled material drives the mill selection process. Contact the experts at Stedman Machine Company to discuss which size reduction machine is best for your application.

HAMMER MILL Method of size reduction: Impact Construction and working principle: Hammer mill consists of a stout metal casing, enclosing a central shaft to which four or more hammers are attached. These are mounted with swivel joints, so that the hammers swing out to a radial position when the shaft is rotated. The lower

varied to meet the required particle size distribution. The size range of spiral jet mills employed in size reduction of pharmaceutical poders includes units from 50mm to 500mm, but most are in the 100mm and 200mm size range.Table 1 shows some typical mill sizes with their relative fineness and throught ranges.

characteristic governing size reduction is hardness because almost all mechanical size reduction techniques involve somehow creating new surface area, and this requires adding energy proportional to the bonds holding the feed particles together. A common way of expressing hardness is the Mohs scale, on which talcum is a 1 and diamond is a 10.

Hammer mill, ball mill, air-jet mill, pin-mill, and conical screen mill are the commonly used equipment for the milling operation. In these, impact, attrition, and shear compression are the main forces for the size reduction. The selection of the appropriate equipment is mainly based on the desired particle size of the product.

Hammer mill is the most widely used grinding mill and among the oldest. Hammer mills consist of a series of hammers (usually four or more) hinged on a central shaft and enclosed within a rigid metal case. It produces size reduction by impact. The materials to be milled are struck by these rectangular pieces of hardened steel (ganged hammer ...

PARTICLE SIZE REDUCTION. Particle size reduction and control often proves itself as a critical step in industrial solids processing systems. Often times it is used as a method for enacting positive results downstream, such as increasing surface area for efficient thermal treatment or milling and homogenizing a material for consistent mixing.
