Milling | Machines & Equipment | Chemical
Milling is the process of breaking down solid materials into smaller pieces. There are a variety of mill types available depending on the desired end result. Mills can use variations of cutting, grinding, or crushing, and may combine several operations to achieve the end result.
In chemical processing, there are a wide range of production requirements for milling machines, ranging from high pressure rolling mills to crush course materials down before further processing, to ultrafine mills that can produce particle sizes of as little as 0.5µm.
Our engineers are experienced in advising on chemical milling equipment and applications across a wide range of industry sectors. We work with our clients to fully understand their specific requirements so that we can give impartial advice on the best technology for your application, selecting the best supplier, and ensuring the seamless integration of new equipment into your production units. Our goal is to make the latest chemical milling technology easily accessible to our clients.

Technology for milling in the chemical industry
Vekamaf can advise on a wide range of milling equipment across a broad range of industries and for a large range of unit applications. For primary milling our range of roller mills and ball mills can take primary media to a state where it can be ready for further processing. Utilising the latest energy efficient technologies means our range of mills can decrease operating costs as well as increasing quality.
For the most difficult materials to work with, we can advise on the latest shredding and granulating technology. For extreme media, our torsion-resistant shredder can handle the most difficult products, even those containing fibre or film, without clogging or blockage.
For crushing of materials Vekamaf can help with a range of high and low impact milling solutions. Hammer mills can effectively gradually reduce media down to required sizes, but for fragile compounds we have a range of gentle crushers and flakers, meaning we can assist with any milling challenge.
For laboratory work and ultrafine milling, we can advise on a complete range of mills of a suitable scale for R&D and testing work. Ultrafine milling equipment includes speciality pin mills and spiral jet mills for a range of specific applications.
We strive to be an inspiring conversation partner for our clients and we are continuously on the lookout to spot new trends and innovations. We work closely with a select network of international partners. Our engineers are periodically trained in milling technologies for the chemical industry. We help production facilities to improve the efficiency of their milling operations, whilst maximising the quality of the end-result and reducing running costs. We look forward to learning more about your challenge so that we can connect you with the right expert!
