Later this month, Japan's Nisshin Engineering will launch a new product that uses airflow to pulverise materials used in pharmaceuticals. The company claims the product is cleaner to operate than its predecessors and for the first time complies with current Good Manufacturing Practice standards.

Nisshin said at the Interphex Japan exhibition, which took place last week, that it will start shipping the Super Jet Mill SJ-100GMP beginning in late May.

Based on the Super Jet Mill SJ, the new machine uses compressed air to collide particles at high speeds, causing them to be crushed. This mechanism reduces the amount of heat generated during the pulverisation - an important consideration when dealing with some sensitive compounds used in pharmaceuticals, according to Nisshin .

 

After crushing, the particles are separated according to size in a classifying unit. And because the pulverisation and classifying zones are separated, this results in stable grading and consistency in particle sizing, even when operating at high throughput rates.
