Jet-O-Mizer Precision Jet Milling

Jet-O-Mizer Precision Jet Milling Fluid Energy Processing System

Jet-O-Mizer Precision Jet Milling – Fluid Energy Processing System

Two units make up this system – 1 x Jet-O-Mizer and 1 x Kuboto Engine

A vertically oriented jet mill with tangential grinding nozzles located at the bottom and static classification occurring at the top.

This powder machine is capable of grinding dry powders to +/- 0.5-45 microns

The vertical jet mill produces a narrow particle size distribution.

It consumes less energy and is easy to feed with a wide variety of materials.

• Sanitary designs for access to gas and product contact areas
• No blow back, easy feed operation
• Replaceable grinding nozzles and liners
• Specialized liners for abrasive applications
• Combined operations – grinding/blending, grinding/coating
• Largest range of throughput with models for one gram batches (or rates up to 10,000 lbs. per hour)

Features and Benefits:

Outstanding Efficiency and Versatility in Fine Grinding (0.5 – 45 Microns) and Classification

The JET-O-MIZER jet mill has been developed with many distinct design features:

• To consume less power
• Provide a greater range of throughput (1 to 12,000 lb/hr)
• Ensure exceptional finished product quality.

Thorough application engineering allows determination of the ideal operational conditions for your process.

High-Efficiency Chamber Design

The JET-O-MIZER grinding chamber features an inverted trapezoidal design, which forces the circulating particles to concentrate at the nozzles.

This unique design improves grinding efficiency and reduces wear on chamber walls.
Adjustable Classification Zone

The JET-O-MIZER jet mill employs an externally adjustable configuration. This feature controls the velocity gradient to isolate the classification process from the grinding chamber. This patented feature allows efficient control of particle size distribution for multiple products or specifications.
No Attritional Heat

The cooling effect of the grinding fluid completely offsets the slight heat generated during grinding.

The JET-O-MIZER jet milling machine is routinely used to grind products with critical heat limitations.

Combined Operations

Grinding can be combined with other physical and chemical operations.

This saves time, reduces energy and minimizes product handling.

While grinding, the JET-O-MIZER can:

• blend and mix ingredients
• coat product with waxes, oils and dyes
• promote chemical reactions (such as oxidization and calcination)
• inhibit chemical reactions
• free entrapped solvents

Replaceable Protective Liners

Special alloy, polymer or ceramic liners minimize wear or build-up in strategic areas of the jet mill. This simplifies operation, extends the life of many components and prevents downtime.
Adjustable Classification Zone

Production size JET-O-MIZER jet mill employs an externally adjustable configuration. This feature controls the velocity gradient to isolate the classification process from the grinding chamber. This patented feature allows efficient control of particle size distribution for multiple products or specifications.

Reliable Construction

• Low Maintenance
• East cleaning
• Very easy to inspect

Made in the USA of the highest quality components

Comprehensive engineering and durable construction enable the system to operate continuously 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Opearating Principles:

• Air, steam or gas is introduced into the JET-O-MIZER through specially designed nozzles to create a sonic or supersonic grinding stream.
• Solid particles of raw feed are injected into this violent, turbulent stream.
• High-velocity, provides thorough and effective pulverization of the feed into smaller particles.
• The particle stream leaving the reduction chamber flows to the classification zone.
• As the stream enters the static classifier, the direction of flow is reversed.
• Product particles are entrapped by the viscous drag of the exiting flow.
• Larger particles are recycled to the reduction chamber for further grinding.

Food Applications:

A Jet-O-Mizer (is a type of jet mill or fluid energy mill) that can be used with food ingredients.

They are highly suitable for the food industry because they grind materials to ultra-fine, micron-sized powders without generating significant heat.

This helps preserve the flavor, nutritional value, and aroma of heat-sensitive products

Common Food Applications for Jet-O-Mizers:

• Spices and Herbs: Grinding to fine powders for improved, consistent flavor distribution.
• Coffee: Producing very fine grounds.
• Sugar and Starches: Achieving ultra-fine particle sizes.
• Grain Products: Micronizing wheat bran or flour, which can improve functionality, such as in baking.
• Nutraceuticals/Functional Ingredients: Processing health-conscious food additives and powders.
• Soy Products: Utilizing specific systems (like Fluid Energy’s ThermaJet) for drying and milling soy to produce powders

Advantages of using a Jet-O-Mizer for Food:

• Low-Temperature Processing: Prevents heat damage to delicate ingredients.
• High Purity: Since there are no moving parts in the grinding chamber, there is minimal contamination risk, making them suitable for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) food environments.
• Improved Texture and Functionality: Produces powders that enhance the mouthfeel, solubility, and dispersion of the final food product.
• Combined Operations: The Jet-O-Mizer can mix, blend, and coat products (with oils, spices, etc.) while grinding.
• Sanitary Design: Available in configurations that meet food industry sanitation standards
