From feed to finished powder.
Two engineered systems sit at the heart of the platform — the UTM Turbo Mill drives particles down to the micron level, and the Air Classifier separates them to exact specification. Explore both below.
Material in. Micronized powder out.
A wide range of feedstocks enter the UTM Turbo Mill, where shear, attrition, compression, and impact forces drive particles down to the micron level — engineered fineness across many materials, not just size reduction.
Sharp cuts. Exact separation.
Material entering the Air Classifier is immediately subject to centrifugal forces from inside the classifier wheel and vacuum forces outside it. Controlling the wheel's RPM, blade count, spacing, and configuration — along with vacuum pressure — achieves targeted particle classification and separation, with oversize material rejected for further milling.
Engineering materials at the micron level.
Microtec systems take raw inputs through the Microtec Mill Process and deliver engineered outputs — reduced to target micron sizes with precision control at every step. Select a grade to see where it performs.

Control Moisture Content
Reduce moisture to target levels without adding heat — improving stability and reliability while lowering energy use and OpEx.
Where performance accelerates.
At ultra-fine particle sizes, materials exhibit enhanced reactivity, improved liberation behavior, and greater separation efficiency — engineering materials into a more functional state.
Coarse & under-engineered materials
Engineered & functional particles
Increased surface area accelerates reaction kinetics and material activation.
Materials become more functional, specification-grade, and performance-driven across industrial applications.
Separation technologies become increasingly effective at ultra-fine particle sizes.
Water-based, density-based, and chemical separation — ultra-fine micronization increases liberation of constituent materials for higher-value recovery.
Greater liberation of valuable constituents results in higher recoveries and purities.
Cleaner material streams enable higher-value products, better process economics, and superior end-use performance.
Smaller particles. Greater functionality.
Microtec transforms under-engineered materials into higher-value, higher-performance products through precision micronization and classification.
