Benelabo jet mills (MC series, six models MC-50 to MC-500) grind brittle, crystalline and heat-sensitive materials to 1–30 μm using only high-speed airflow energy — no heat build-up, no moving parts in the mill chamber, no dust release — from 0.035 kg/h trials to 250 kg/h production, batch modes from 1.5 g.
Highlights
Energy comes from expanding air and particle-on-particle impact — no hot surfaces, safe for heat-sensitive APIs.
Feed, milling, collection and extraction run sealed; clean air exhausts through the filter stage.
MC-50 covers gram batches; MC-500 scales to 250 kg/h on the same chamber principle.
Pair the twin-screw feeder for micronized, electrostatic or fluffy feeds — stable linear dosing into the venturi.
Applications
- API micronization for heat-sensitive and crystalline actives
- Excipient particle size control
- Chemical and food fine grinding
- Lab-to-production scale-up via the S-LAB path

FAQ
Which mill gives 1–30 μm?
The spiral jet mill — airflow energy drives self-impact with no hot surfaces. MC-50 runs gram batches; MC-500 scales to 250 kg/h.
Does jet milling cause thermal degradation?
No. Expanding air provides energy and cooling, and the chamber has no moving grinding surfaces.
Jet mill or hammer mill for my powder?
Jet mill for ≤30 μm and heat-sensitive duties; hammer mill for 25–200 μm at higher throughput — decision table in our articles section.
