Equipment and Systems for the Factories and Laboratories of the Future
Some of the world’s largest, most successful blue-chip companies choose to invest in Hosokawa Micron’s high-quality machinery and equipment – which reliably and efficiently process solids, liquids and powders. Freeze dryers, mills/micronisers, classifiers, crushers, mixers, dryers, agglomerators, extruders, size reducers, disintegrators and particle/powder testing systems are augmented by high-performance containment equipment and systems for hazardous and non-hazardous materials handling, such as filling and weighing systems, downflow booths, gloveboxes, isolators, sterile/aseptic systems, fume cupboards, fettling booths and laminar flow cabinets.
In addition, Hosokawa Micron leads the way in powder technology and manufactures a selection of pilot and laboratory-scale equipment that perfectly accompanies its machinery portfolio. This compact equipment can be used in a laboratory environment for testing, analysing, researching, mixing and producing ultra-small batches of expensive powders and products down to sub-micron size, if needed.
Hosokawa Micron’s products are not only defined by their excellent design, build quality and capabilities, but also by their adaptability. Its range of standard, ‘off-the-shelf’ designs is complemented by fully bespoke equipment, developed in close collaboration with each customer and tailored to their specific requirements. This is made possible by the proficiency of the in-house design and engineering teams and their spectrum of industry experience.
From design studies, laboratory trials, technical consultancy and testing, to engineering, manufacturing, delivery and commissioning, each equipment project is expertly managed and benefits from the company’s investment in the most up-to-date engineering and digital technology – such as virtual and augmented reality, as well as digital twinning – to achieve the most appropriate, future-proofed solution for the customer.
Hosokawa Micron has been at the forefront of technology based on the principles of Industry 4.0 since the concept was born a decade ago, predicting the importance of an explosion in data-driven manufacturing and the ability to contribute to the future needs of its customers. Ten years on, improving efficiency, yield and consistency – while reducing downtime to optimise productivity and profitability – are critical aspirations for manufacturers across the board.
Remote monitoring, artificial intelligence, connectivity, digital twinning and machine learning are practical ways to provide the solutions and facilitate positive change. Uniquely for a manufacturer of processing machinery and equipment, Hosokawa Micron Ltd has worked with some of the world’s most respected technology partners to create and integrate intelligent manufacturing capabilities into its portfolio of processing machinery, equipment and services, providing a complete solution to manufacturing companies looking to the future through digital transformation.
