Jet mill

Illustration of a jet mill. Red arrow shows material entering the mill. Blue arrows show compressed air entering and circulating in the mill. Green arrow shows small particles leaving mill.

A jet mill grinds materials by using a high speed jet of compressed air or inert gas to impact particles into each other.[1] Jet mills can be designed to output particles below a certain size while continuing to mill particles above that size, resulting in a narrow size distribution of the resulting product.[2] Particles leaving the mill can be separated from the gas stream by cyclonic separation.[3]
