Hammer Mill for the pharmaceutical industry
Hammer Mill - BTM
With their versatility, granulators play a decisive role in pharmaceutical, chemical or food production. Grinders can be integrated into complex production lines, e.g. for filling/emptying or transfer processes on process machines or for filling and transferring containers (IBCs).
More about the highlights
Mills are used to crush solids. Comminution has two objectives: Firstly , to increase the particle surface area in order to increase the dissolution rate. Secondly , different Particle Sizes should be equalised to ensure homogeneous miscibility.
Hammer mills or turbo mills are suitable for Research & Development as well as for batch production or continuous manufacturing. They crush powders, agglomerates and granulates. Hammer Mills are used particularly frequently when the user requires precise particle reduction of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and other substances that are difficult to grind. Hammer Mills are also used to regrind broken tablets.
Tablets that have already been produced may not meet the customer's requirements during inspection for various reasons. If the tablet does not meet the specification, the manufacturer can use the Hammer Mill to grind the tablets back into powder and reuse the material. Grinding the tablets again and returning them to production ultimately reduces waste and increases productivity.
Hammer Mills from the BTM series (Bohle Turbo Mill) can produce up to 1,500 kg/h at speeds of 600 rpm to 6,000 rpm. To achieve this, the Hammer Mill is equipped with an automatic dosing device (rotary valve) .
This allows the operator to feed the grinding chamber evenly with material without overfilling. In addition, such automatic feeding devices can control the flow of powder into the grinding chamber. Another advantage is that heat generation is reduced. The process can be repeated with the same parameters.

L.B. Bohle offers innovative grinding and sieving systems that are essential for pharmaceutical production. Their conical sieves and Hammer Mills, such as the Bohle Turbo Sieve BTS and Bohle Turbo Mill BTM, ensure efficient particle size reduction and homogenisation. These compact, easy-to-clean devices improve production flexibility and increase efficiency, ideal for research, development and high-volume manufacturing processes.
Why are mills used in the pharmaceutical and food industries?
Mills are used to reduce the size of particles in order to improve the dissolution speed of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and to ensure homogeneous miscibility. They are a central component in complex production processes and can be used in a variety of ways, e.g. for filling, emptying or transferring containers.
What are the advantages of the Hammer Mill from L.B. Bohle?
The BTM Hammer Mill impresses with its compact design, high mobility, easy cleaning and modular operation. Thanks to its high capacity of up to 1,500 kg/h and precise particle size reduction, it is suitable for research, batch production and continuous processes.
How is the desired Particle Size achieved?
The Particle Size is determined by the selected sieve size. In the BTM series, sieve inserts from 0.1 to 4 mm are possible. In addition, the hammer and blade sides of the rotor ensure optimum adaptation to hard, dry or sticky products.
Which additional functions increase Process Safety?
An integrated automatic dosing system (rotary valve) ensures even feeding of the grinding chamber, prevents overfilling and reduces heat generation. This ensures a reproducible process with consistent quality - even with temperature-sensitive products.
