Ointment Mill Advantages

Only the ointment mill used in the dispersing process guarantees that 100% of the product will be passed through both shear zones. The shear rate between the rollers is the decisive factor for the process. This is determined by the roller spacing and the circumferential speed. Agglomerates and powder clumps are broken up and homogenized. The more controlled the energy input, the more precise the processing.

Three Roll Mill Process

What does an ointment mill do?

An ointment mill utilizes high shear force to disperse active ingredients, and homogenize viscous materials. Shear force is created by three horizontally positioned rollers rotating in opposite directions and at different speeds relative to each other. The product is pulled through the gaps between the rollers. Active ingredients and powder clumps are broken up and homogenized, which removes grittiness and results in a high-quality topical.  This gives your customers a pharmaceutically elegant and effective ointment.

Cleaning Your EXAKT Mill

For everyday cleaning between formulations, alcohol and a soft cloth or paper towel are the best things to use. Do NOT spray the alcohol on the rollers or pour the alcohol into the gap when the machine is running. Put the alcohol on a paper towel or cloth and hold it against the roller tightly while you turn the roller with the hand wheel. When you start to get a buildup you can use an abrasive to clean the rollers.
