Grinding technology for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry

Grinding technology for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry places high demands on precision, reproducibility and process reliability. Even before the actual production or synthesis processes, materials often need to be brought to defined particle sizes, homogenized or prepared for further processing steps. Reproducible grinding helps to keep downstream processes stable and economical.

With MULTICRACKER® grinding machines, MAKOBA offers a powerful and compact solution for selected applications in the processing of intermediates. Our technology is used wherever gentle and uniform grinding forms the basis for further process steps.

Defined particle sizes as the basis for stable processes

In many applications, particle size influences the quality and efficiency of further processing. Uniformly processed materials can often be conveyed, dosed, mixed or further processed more effectively. At the same time, reproducible grinding results help reduce process fluctuations and ensure consistent product quality.

MULTICRACKER® technology is gentle on the product and produces a homogeneous particle size distribution while maintaining high energy efficiency. Different machine configurations allow grinding to be adapted to the properties of the respective material and the requirements of the process.

Use in the processing of intermediates

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, our machines are primarily used for the processing of intermediates. Typical applications include breaking, grinding or homogenizing raw materials before they are fed into further production steps.

Thanks to its robust design and reliable continuous operation, the MULTICRACKER® is particularly suitable for industrial production environments where reproducible results and high plant availability are required.

Developing new applications together

Requirements in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry vary considerably depending on the product and process. Each application places individual demands on material properties, particle size and throughput. That is why MAKOBA develops customized solutions for specific tasks together with its customers. Our experts will be happy to advise you and work with you to develop an economical solution for your task.

Grinding trials with original materials make it possible to check the suitability of MULTICRACKER® technology in advance and determine the optimal machine configuration for the respective process. On request, we carry out grinding trials with your original products and evaluate the results under realistic conditions.

In this area, the MULTICRACKER® is used predominantly for the processing of intermediates and raw materials. MAKOBA currently does not offer machines certified specifically for GMP or cleanroom applications. However, we would be happy to review together with you whether our grinding technology is suitable for your upstream process step.
