Classifier Milling Equipment Solutions

As an industry-leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and design engineer of particle size reduction machines, Classifier Milling Systems Corp. (CMS) has been delivering cutting-edge milling equipment solutions for three decades.

We specialize in industrial powder processing systems and air classifier mills that address the needs of a diverse range of global industries. Our expert team maintains a high standard of excellence so that our customers benefit from reliable, efficient, and precise particle size reduction equipment and processes.

About Particle Size Reduction

In many industries, particle size reduction is used to enhance material performance by significantly increasing the surface area of feed particles. The process involves reducing the physical particle size of inbound materials to a powder or granular form, helping to improve product uniformity and flow properties.

Selecting the appropriate milling technology starts with a thorough understanding of the characteristics of the raw material to be processed. These properties include:

  • Abrasiveness
  • Aspect Ratio
  • Bulk Density
  • Compression and Tensile Strength
  • Explosiveness
  • Flow Properties
  • Friability
  • Hardness
  • Melt Point
  • Moisture Content
  • Stickiness
  • Thermal Sensitivity
  • Toxicity

Most dry powder production involves hammer mills, pin mills, jet mills, and cyclone classifiers, which operate on the principles of dynamic shearing, attrition, and impact. At CMS, we design high-efficiency milling systems tailored to meet industry-specific requirements, offering precise control over particle size distribution.

Air Swept Classifier Mill Systems

Our Air Swept Classifier Mill System provides particle size classification and dynamic impact grinding in a single continuous process. This unique design allows system operators to independently adjust the rotational speeds of the classifier wheel and impact rotor, optimizing the tip speed control and drag for precise particle size distribution.

Available in 5HP to 400HP configurations, CMS Air Swept Classifier Mill Systems address various production challenges. These reliable milling systems deliver excellent energy efficiency, high throughput, and long-term durability.

Cyclones and Cyclone Classifiers

CMS specializes in manufacturing high-efficiency cyclones and cyclone classifiers engineered to efficiently separate fine particles from process air streams. To withstand extreme industrial environments, our cyclone products are typically constructed from heavy-walled, refractory-lined, pressure shock resistant (PSR) materials and specialty alloys.

These milling systems can process the following fine materials:

  • Minerals
  • Pigments
  • Powder Coatings
  • Resins

Cyclones enhance milling equipment efficiency by recirculating oversized particles for additional reduction.

Tabletop Lab Systems

Tabletop Lab Systems

The CMS Tabletop Lab System offers the same high-efficiency particle size reduction capabilities as our full-scale Air Classifier Mills but for small-scale production, research, and development purposes.

The compact 5 HP tabletop milling system has a capacity of approximately 150 pounds per hour, making it ideal for batch testing. The portable design features a side-mounted control panel and clamshell configuration, facilitating seamless material changeovers with easy maintenance and cleanout.
