Supplying Lab Scale Jet Mill to a Leading U.S. Cement R&D Company

Table of Contents

In advanced cement research, precision powder processing is critical for material development, performance evaluation, and formulation innovation. ZYLAB recently provided a Lab Scale Jet Mill to a leading U.S. cement research company for small-batch ultra-fine grinding, enabling more accurate R&D results.

Customer Requirements

Cement formulation research often uses iron oxide for performance tuning and color development. The R&D team needed a jet mill that could:

  • Deliver fine and uniform particle size
  • Operate efficiently at small throughput (50–500 g/h)
  • Maintain high material purity
  • Be safely shared among multiple research groups
  • Enable fast, contamination-free material changeover

ZYLAB Solution: Fast Cleaning & Easy Material Changeover

A key question from the customer was whether the internal ceramic housing could be switched out between materials—essential for labs testing multiple powders.

The ZYLAB Lab Scale Jet Mill offers:

  • Easy Cleaning: All internal components—nozzles, classifier, chamber, and collection system—are fully accessible for wiping or rinsing.
  • Quick Disassembly & Reassembly: Modular parts allow rapid teardown and setup, minimizing downtime.
  • Multi-Team Compatibility: Efficient cleaning ensures different R&D teams can use the same system without cross-contamination.
  • High purity ceramic chamber: High-purity, abrasion-resistant alumina ceramic chamber protect sensitive powders like iron oxide, alumina, and specialty additives.
