The Sieving Multi Mill operates on the principle of impact, shear, and attrition for size reduction, combined with mechanical sieving for classification. Material is fed into the chamber where high-speed rotating blades strike and propel it against the chamber walls and screens. This “top-down” approach disintegrates coarse particles into finer ones via mechanical energy. Particles smaller than the screen aperture pass through radially or tangentially for discharge, while larger ones recirculate for further milling. The process ensures a narrow particle size distribution (PSD) by controlling rotor speed, screen size, and feed rate.

Applications
-
Pharmaceuticals: Pulverizing APIs, excipients, or granules for tablets/capsules; wet/dry granulation; de-lumping after drying.
-
Food: Size reduction of spices, flours, or confectionery powders.
-
Chemicals/Cosmetics: Milling pigments, dyes, or fertilizers; emulsification of semi-solids.
-
Other: Pesticides, plastics, ceramics—ideal for heat-sensitive or friable materials requiring uniform sizing.
It excels in achieving bioavailability enhancement through increased surface area and dosage uniformity.
Advantages
-
Versatility: Handles wet/dry materials; supports granulation, shredding, chopping, and mixing in one unit.
-
Precision: Interchangeable sieves ensure narrow PSD and high uniformity, reducing downstream issues like segregation.
-
Efficiency: High throughput; 50% faster than conventional mills for low-density materials.
-
Compact Design: Small footprint suits cleanrooms; easy mobility and integration with lifting columns.
-
Safety/Hygiene: Low noise, easy disassembly for CIP, and GMP-compliant with minimal dust generation.
-
Cost-Effective: Low maintenance, energy-efficient, and scalable from lab (5 kg) to production (1,000 kg) batches.
Safety and Validation Considerations
-
Safety: Enclosed chamber with interlocks, guards, and emergency stops; vibration dampers reduce noise and wear.
-
Validation: IQ/OQ/PQ tests for PSD consistency, throughput at 30-80% loads, and cleaning efficacy.
-
Maintenance: Inspect blades/screens quarterly; ensure oil-free operation to avoid contamination.
Considerations
-
Limitations: Not ideal for very sticky or oily materials; requires screen changes for different PSDs.
-
Customization: Options include vacuum feeding, jacketed chambers for cooling, or explosion-proof designs for volatiles.
-
Trends (as of 2025): Integration with continuous manufacturing lines and AI-monitored PSD for real-time adjustments.

Design and Construction of Sieving Multi Mill
Unit consists of S.S 316 AISI quality material rotor fitted with 8 Nos. SS blades knife/impact edge having swing action and 2 Nos. scrapper blades. Rotor assembly fitted on SS shaft with suitable bearing. Other end of the shaft directly coupled with suitable H.P./3 PHASE/415V/60CS/2800 RPM flange mounting type motor through love jaw coupling. The speed variation will be achieved through A.C. Frequency drive unit with selected 4 speeds of i.e., 2800RPM/2200RPM/1600RPM/800RPM.
S.S Charging hopper with slide plate arrangement to control the material feed rate. S.S Screen with hold plate is provided to get desired size of granules. S.S discharge hopper with necessary holding arrangement. Drive unit supported on S.S column with S.S base plate fitted with PU castor wheels to achieve portability.
