Reduce Particle Size
Coarse crushing, dry and wet grinding, fine milling, ultrafine jet milling, and cryogenic size reduction.
Mix Powders or Blend Materials
Homogeneous, low-shearing blending from small R&D containers through large-scale production batches.
Mix & Degas Viscous Fluids
Rapid planetary centrifugal mixing, dispersion, deaeration, and deforming without conventional blades.
Select Grinding Media
Find the correct material, diameter, density, hardness, and surface finish for your mill and process.
Sieve, Separate or Sample Particles
Particle size, separation, test sieving, representative sample division, and reliable quality control workflows.
Disrupt Cells or Process Biological Samples
High pressure, bead-beating, mechanical, and ultrasonic technologies for cells, tissues, and biomaterials.
Measure Particle Size or Shape
Laser diffraction and camera-based particle characterization for development and quality control. 
Complete the Process
Feeders, dryers, ultrasonic baths, pellet presses, collection systems, and supporting equipment.
APPLICATION FIRST GUIDANCE
A better process starts with the material.
Instead of forcing your material into one machine, we evaluate the material, target the result, batch size, contamination limits, and scale-up requirements.
CONSULTATION
Define the material, process, challenge, and desired result.
MATERIAL EVALUATION
Review physical properties, safety information and processing constraints.
PROCESS DEVELOPMENT
Select the most promising technology and operating approach.
TESTING & VALIDATION
Run material, measure results, and refine the process.
SCALE-UP SUPPORT
Move from feasibility to lab, pilot, or production equipment.
EQUIPMENT FOR EVERY STAGE
From first experiment to full production.
Build a scalable process with equipment and operating principals that support development, validation, and manufacturing.
Lab Scale
Flexible equipment for research, feasibility studies, formulation, and small-batch sample preparation.
- Small Sample Quantities
- Fast Changeover
- Broad Application Flexibility
Pilot Scale
Bridge process development and production with greater capacity and representative operating conditions.
- Process Optimization
- Scale-Up Data
- Pre-Production Batches
Production Scale
Robust systems configured for throughput, repeatability, material handling, and manufacturing requirements.
- Higher Throughput
- Sanitary Configurations
- Integrated Collection & Controls
REDUCE RISK BEFORE YOU BUY
Equipment is only part of a solution.
Use Glen Mills services to test feasibility, produce samples, support temporary needs, or outsource the processing step.
Material Testing
Send your material for a free feasibility evaluation and determine whether the proposed process can achieve the target result.
Equipment Rentals
Evaluate equipment in your own facility or address a short-term processing requirement without an immediate purchase.
Prototyping & Samples
We process your material and return samples with the equipment and procedure used to produce the result.
Contract Processing
Outsource grinding, milling, mixing, sieving, or classification when buying equipment is not the right next step.
INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS
Solutions for demanding materials.
Equipment selections are guided by your material behavior, cleanliness requirements, target specification, and application environment.
Pharmaceuticals
Battery Materials
Chemicals
Food & Nutraceuticals
Polymers & Plastics
Ceramics
Metals & Metallurgy
Research & Universities
