The client is a producer of high-purity nutritional ingredients who needed a jet milling to produce fine-grade Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) for a new line of premium calcium supplements. Their existing milling equipment struggled with consistency, resulting in product batches that varied in particle size distribution. This inconsistency affected the supplement’s bioavailability, mixability, and final product texture. They sought a milling partner who could provide a reliable system.
Since Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) is widely used in food additives, pharmaceuticals, and dental products, the purity and precision is very important.
The Solution
After a thorough evaluation of several suppliers, the client chose Epic Powder. We have deep expertise in fine powder processing for sensitive applications. We recommended a custom-configured MQW jet mill system, designed specifically for food-grade mineral processing.
MQW jet milling was chosen for its unique ability to grind materials through high-velocity particle-to-particle collision. Because the process uses compressed air rather than mechanical grinding media.
The Results
Our engineering team oversaw the installation and commissioning on-site. We worked closely with the client’s technicians to optimize the process parameters for their specific TCP feedstock. The focus was on tuning the classifier speed and grinding pressure to achieve the optimal balance between the finest particle cut and maximum yield.
By choosing Epic Powder, the client not only achieved their technical goals but also optimized their energy-to-output ratio, ensuring a more sustainable production cycle.
