About Glen Mills

Equipment and application expertise since 1980.

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.

Equipment selection
Compare processing technologies around your application.
Material evaluation
Explore feasibility before choosing an approach.
Flexible ways forward
Discuss equipment, rentals, prototyping or contract processing.

A DOCUMENTED CUSTOMER PROJECT

Rock-sized feed.
Below 5 microns.
One connected process.

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.

BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH

A few things
you may be wondering.

Do I need to know which machine I want?

No. Share the material, the processing problem and the desired result. The initial conversation can help identify the equipment options and information needed.

What happens after I request guidance?

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.

Is material testing free?

Glen Mills offers free feasibility testing. Contact the team to agree on suitability, test scope, sample quantity and safety information before shipping.

Can we discuss confidential materials?

Start with a general description. Let the team know if confidentiality arrangements are needed before sharing sensitive formulations or proprietary details.

What if I need samples or processing rather than equipment?

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.
