Other Milling Particle Size Reduction from Coarse to Fine
Alternative Milling Methods Outside of Jet Milling
As a critical first step in many milling processes, CPS’s coarse crushing reduces materials to a quarter-inch or smaller — the typical maximum feed size for most mills. This process fractures materials through compression, shear, or impact forces, though it offers less control over the final particle size.
Coarse crushing capabilities at CPS:
- Jaw crushers use two metal plates (one stationary, one moving) to crush large materials like rocks and ceramics with compression force
- Roll crushers apply compression, shear, and impact as materials move between rotating rollers
- Impact crushers break material either with a direct blow from a bar or by projecting it against an anvil surface

Fine Mechanical Milling
Hammer Milling
Our hammer mills create high-shear, impact, and centrifugal forces to efficiently reduce an exceptionally wide range of friable and non-friable materials. Mounted hammers inside a rotating drum fracture material into coarse to fine particle sizes, regulated by a range of interchangeable inline screens. Hammer milling is ideal for brittle, friable, and nonabrasive materials, delivering consistent results tailored to your project’s specifications.

Fine Mechanical Milling
Universal Milling
Our high-speed, fine-impact universal mills offer versatile dry grinding solutions for a wide range of materials. Depending on the application and desired product fineness, the mills can be equipped with up to four rotating and stationary elements. They can achieve particle sizes ranging from 50 microns to 2 millimeters, delivering consistent results tailored to your specifications.
Precision Wet Milling
Media Milling
Precision Wet Milling
Media Milling
In wet media milling, material is dispersed in a fluid slurry and milled with grinding media to achieve fine particle sizes and uniform distribution. This process can create particles in the nanometer or sub-micron ranges. At CPS, we specialize in wet media milling to deliver high-quality results for products requiring precise particle size control and tailored performance.

Cryo-Milling
Specialized Milling Techniques
Cyro-Milling
Our cryogenic milling utilizes liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature of the mill feed, ensuring precise material processing. This technique is ideal for polymers, waxes, and materials that are sticky, elastic, or have low melt points. Cryo-milling helps prevent overheating during milling, which is particularly beneficial for processing very hard materials. We apply cryogenic milling across various methods, including mechanical milling, media milling, and jet milling, to provide tailored solutions for your specific needs.
