A cosmetics manufacturer needed a jet mill to produce ultra-fine powder from natural sea shells for their luxury skincare line. Their existing milling system could not achieve the required fineness (target: D99 < 7µm) without compromising throughput or product integrity through overheating. They needed a scalable, contamination-free solution that could deliver consistent, needle-sharp particle size control. The client conducted a thorough market review, comparing jet mill technologies from several global suppliers. Epic Powder stood out through a solution-oriented partnership.
We processed their shell samples in our application lab, providing definitive performance data upfront. Our trial results demonstrated superior particle size uniformity and lower thermal stress compared to competitors, crucial for preserving the organic material’s properties. Our engineers proposed a grinding system to prevent oxidation and a special ceramic-lined grinding chamber to ensure absolute purity—key concerns for their cosmetic application.
The Solution
The client selected an Epic Powder Jet Mill, featuring:
- High-Precision Nozzle Design: For optimal energy efficiency and particle-on-particle impact.
- Integrated Inert Gas Circuit: Maintains an oxygen-free environment during processing.
- Easy-Clean, GMP-Inspired Design: Facilitates quick product changeovers and meets high hygiene standards.
In post-installation, the jet mill system exceeded expectations in continuous production, unlocking new potential for their product line.
Client Testimonial:
The data from Epic Powder‘s lab trial was exactly what we achieved on our factory floor. They understood our need for more than just a grinder—we needed a precision preservation system for a delicate natural material. This investment has directly elevated our brand’s market position.
