Why Superfine?
MICRONIZATION, RE-INVENTED
Micronization has been for many years a key step in powder processing for special applications where size ranges of 10 microns or less are needed. Nevertheless, conventional milling technologies has seen very few improvements.
​
Limitations of conventionalmicronization technologies today are mainly:
​
-
Mechanical forces result in particle degradation and increase of amorphous content, especially on the particle’s surface.
-
Multiple passes are often required to achieve particles of less than 5 microns.
-
Conventional micronizers are sensitive to blockages at feeding points (i.e. the Venturi injector) and nozzles.
-
Of-the shelf machines may not provide optimal performance needed.
SuperFine’s technology overcomes these limitations.
Our Technology
Unique technology - Vortex milling
​
Most micronizers operate on the principle of colliding particles with each other at high speeds. Our technology is based on aerodynamics conditions. Hence, the particle is breaking along its natural dents, cavities or crystal defects. The result is a “clean cut” that is not accompanied with degradation or amorphization of crystal surface.
​
Since the physical properties of the particles do not play part, Vortex milling can handle challenging substances such as:
-
Paper, fibres
-
Leaves, natural products
-
Soft/elastic substances such as polymers
-
Delicate crystals – Pharmaceutical active ingredients and excipients.
