LabStar multi-functional mill can be scaled-up to comparable production machines

Netzsch Mastermix, part of Netzsch Group’s grinding and dispersing business unit, has developed the LabStar Pilot/Laboratory bead mill, which is the smallest grinding mill in its portfolio.

The company says the LabStar can be directly scaled up to its larger cousins in the Netzsch bead mill range.

Configurable as a Zeta peg milling system or as a TriNex disc milling system, LabStar replicates all of the possible combinations and applications that are encountered by full-size production mills.

Available in a range of materials, and ATEX certified, the Lichfield, UK-based firm says there is a configuration to match any production situation that needs to be accurately defined at a pilot scale.

Avoiding product degradation with a low-temperature, vacuum cake dryer

High-performance chemicals often lose efficacy when exposed to heat. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), fine chemical intermediates, and biologically derived materials are subject to product degradation and can transform, or lose potency under high drying temperatures. This thermal sensitivity demands precise control to maintain molecular stability and ensure product quality
