JET PULVERIZER DEVELOPS EFFICIENT LOW TEMPERATURE PROCESSING CAPABILITY
Moorestown, NJ -- The Jet Pulverizer Company (JP), in a cooperative
effort with TEMPTIME, has developed an efficient low temperature
processing capability. By re-engineering its processing system,
JP is able to mill the temperature sensitive powder, Diyne Diurea,
at -40 degrees Fahrenheit to achieve a very fine particle size. This
material is used in inks for printing temperature sensitive indicators
on labels used on food and pharmaceutical product containers used
in the United States and Europe. TEMPTIME, based in Morris Plains,
NJ, manufactures sophisticated time-temperature indicators that
provide a visual indicator warning of excessive heat exposure for
drug and food products.
Diyne Diurea is typically difficult to grind due to its tendency
to obstruct processing equipment and its sensitivity to heat. To
meet this challenge, JP built a custom liner to provide smooth
material flow during processing and developed process and material
handling equipment to maintain a steady low-pressure temperature.
In addition, the product is kept cold until final packaging to
minimize heat related losses. JP’s jet milling technology
provides a distinct advantage due to its dry, high-purity processing
with fine particle generation at <0.30 micron average and its
ability to obtain and stabilize low temperatures on a continuous
basis with extremely tight distribution and near zero contamination.
Jet Pulverizer has years of experience working with special compounds
that are difficult to handle. JP provides support for both
research and commercial scale requirements, with a complete test
grinding service to provide milled samples and document process
development efforts.
The Jet Pulverizer Co. is a custom toll processor and manufacturer
of the Micron-Master precision jet pulverizer mill. Established
in 1946, JP specializes in size reduction of dry powders in the
range of 0.25 to 44 microns. For more information, visit www.jetpul.com.
