Hosokawa Micron Ltd Nanopowder technology creating a new generation of particles addition it produces particle composites and controls the formation of particle shape. A pharmaceutical GMP system is available. NANOCREATER A continuous production system for nanosize metal oxide. The particle is created in a build up method that allows particle size to be adjusted from a few nm to a few hundred nm. Single component or multi-component particles can be created. NANOCULAR P In conjunction with the mechanical energy (sheer and press forces) Nanocular P utilises low temperature plasma (glow discharge) to modify the particle surface and to initiate chemical reaction, composing, sintering, doping and synthesis.
Nano Particle Design Technology
FACULTY The Faculty is a multi functional particle design system. The Faculty employs a bottom rotor which applies mechanical impact force. There is a classifier at the top. Fed particles are received by mechanical force, then classified to separate fine and coarse particles. The main functions are spheronization, cleaner fine dust removal, densification of bulk density, and separation of contents
Particle design technology can improve existing or create new powder characteristics without changing the chemical characteristics of the material. With the potential to generate more effect for less mass and the high potentiality to improve performance of numerous kinds of products the economic prospective of particle design through nanotechnology is immense.
NANO CONTAINMENT With the advancement of nano technology and the perceived hazards associated with handling nano powders Hosokawa has developed a range of Containment equipment designed specifically to contain these ultra fine powders and offering containment levels below 1µg/m3. Hosokawa are able to design and build bespoke installations required to contain large pieces of equipment or larger processing areas.
