Equipment and application support for grinding, mixing, separation and particle measurement. From laboratory quantities to production.
No model number needed. Start with your material and goal.

Glen Mills helps scientists, engineers and manufacturers select equipment for grinding, mixing, separation and particle analysis. Based in Clifton, New Jersey, we support material processing from laboratory research through pilot development and production.
The starting point is your material: its properties, the result you need and the quantity you need to process. We bring equipment options, material evaluation and practical application guidance together to help identify a suitable next step.
A DOCUMENTED CUSTOMER PROJECT
Four technologies. One tested sequence.
A customer needed rock-sized feed reduced to below 5.0 microns, then homogenized. Multiple material tests established the four-stage process below.
Customer and material identity withheld. This result describes the individual project, rather than a guarantee for other materials.

Prepare the rock-sized feed.

Reduce the crushed sample further.

Complete the final grind to below 5.0 microns.

Homogenize the processed material.
START WITH THE PROBLEM
Choose the closest starting point. We’ll carry it into your guidance request.

BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH
No. Share the material, the processing problem and the desired result. The initial conversation can help identify the equipment options and information needed.
The Glen Mills application team reviews your goal and follows up to clarify the material, working scale and next step. Depending on the project, that may be an equipment discussion, material evaluation or quotation.
Glen Mills offers free feasibility testing. Contact the team to agree on suitability, test scope, sample quantity and safety information before shipping.
Start with a general description. Let the team know if confidentiality arrangements are needed before sharing sensitive formulations or proprietary details.
We can discuss prototyping, contract manufacturing or equipment rental availability as appropriate to the material, processing task and required scale.
YOUR MATERIAL. YOUR NEXT STEP.
Share the material, working quantity and result you need. Include what you know; technical details can follow.
