M&M Milling provides production-scale particle sizing for bulk materials that need to be separated into specified size ranges. Based on your material, target particle size distribution, and production requirements, we can identify an appropriate method using vibratory screening, gyratory screening, or air classification.
Particle Size Control Based on Your Specifications
Particle size can influence material flow, blending, packaging, and finished-product consistency. Our equipment can be used to remove oversized particles, separate fines, or recover a defined fraction from a larger batch.
The appropriate process depends on factors such as the desired cut point, particle characteristics, processing volume, and how the finished material will be used. If particles must first be made smaller, milling may be completed before the separation step.
Particle Sizing Equipment
Our particle sizing processes are designed to accurately measure and classify particles according to size distribution. From coarse to fine particle sizing, our advanced equipment ensures precise and consistent results. Our equipment includes:
Vibratory Screeners
Vibratory screeners separate dry material through one or more screens. This method can divide material into defined fractions or remove particles outside the required size range.
Learn more about M&M Milling’s industrial screening services.
Gyratory Screeners
Gyratory screeners use a controlled horizontal motion that keeps material in contact with the screen surface. Their gentler movement can be useful for products that benefit from reduced vertical agitation.
Air Classifiers
Air classifiers separate particles according to characteristics such as size, density, and shape without using a physical screen. They may be used for finer separations or materials that do not process well through conventional screens.

Particle Sizing FAQs
What is the difference between a cut point and a particle size distribution?
A cut point is the approximate particle size at which a separation is made. Particle size distribution describes the proportions of different particle sizes found throughout a material sample. Both may be considered when defining the desired finished product.
What happens to the oversized material and fines after separation?
That depends on the project. Separated fractions may be packaged individually, returned to the customer, routed into another compatible processing step, or otherwise handled according to the agreed production plan.
Can M&M Milling process a trial batch?
Trial or small-batch availability depends on the material, equipment, required quantity, and project goals. M&M Milling reviews these factors before confirming a production trial.
What information should I provide when requesting a quote?
Provide the material name, current Safety Data Sheet, approximate volume, starting condition, desired size specification, and packaging needs. Any handling limitations or contamination requirements should also be identified during the project review.
