Granules and powders do not always have the particle size required for further processing.

Depending on how fine the ground material (final product) must be, we speak of

• crushing
• granulating
• pulverizing
• micronizing (ultra-fine grinding)

The range of tasks and the results varies greatly, so that it does not always make sense to make a cost-intensive investment in your own equipment for a production order. Often it is worthwhile to outsource the individual stages. We then speak of #ContractGrinding or #ContractMilling.

Possible advantages of outsourcing

• The supplier has the suitable, powerful equipment, which can be retrofitted if required.
• Many years of experience ensures consistent quality and fast adaptation of the equipment
• Specialization in specific industry or product group
• Professional particle size and particle size distribution analysis
• Many suppliers can subsequently subject the ground material to further process steps: Screening, mixing, and filling.
• Smaller production quantities can be tested
• Plannable costs and deadlines
• No costly investment
