The client in Anhui is a major yiyecek and nutraceutical manufacturer. They hope to upgrade their sorbitol grinding line using an advanced hava sınıflandırıcı değirmeni. Previously, they relied on a traditional mill for reducing sorbitol from coarse feed to finer powder.
However, the process suffered from several limitations like Inconsistent particle size distribution. The excessive oversize particles affecting downstream mixing and tableting. Over-grinding leading to too many sub-10 micron fines, causing poor flow and dusting issues.
Seeking a more integrated and efficient system, the client researched “air classifier mill for sorbitol grinding” and identified Epic Powder as a trusted supplier.
The Solution
Epic Powder’s air classifier mill integrates high-speed impact grinding with dynamic air sınıflandırma in a single unit. This design enables precise control over particle size while maintaining low temperatures—ideal for crystalline materials like sorbitol that can be prone to melting or sticking.
The selected model featured stainless steel construction compliant. It also has an adjustable classifier wheel for on-the-fly fineness tuning, and an efficient cyclone collection system to minimize product loss.
Implementation and Results
After successful lab-scale trials using the client’s sorbitol samples, the production unit was customized, delivered, and commissioned with minimal disruption. Our technical team provided on-site training and optimization support to fine-tune parameters such as rotor speed, air volume, and feed rate.
Post-installation, the client achieved stable, repeatable performance with significantly better results than their previous setup. Key improvements included: narrow distribution with targeted fineness and reduced oversize/undersize fractions; better flowability and compressibility, leading to enhanced performance in tablet pressing and chewing gum applications; cleaner operation with enclosed system design, reducing dust and improving workplace safety.
These enhancements contributed to faster product development cycles and stronger market competitiveness in premium low-calorie and sugar-free product lines. The solution delivered reliable fine grinding performance, improved product quality, and enhanced production efficiency.
