Material Lab Testing of Size Reduction and Processing
With extensive design expertise in size reduction technology and processing equipment, Blue Tech has engineered and produced hammermills, cyclones, dust collection systems, air purge classifier mills (APCMs), pulverizers and crushers for small and large companies in the United States and worldwide.
A key group in the Blue Tech organization is our in-house testing laboratory, technology and processing center. This multi-faceted operation is one of the first contacts a client has with Blue Tech, after discussing your initial needs with one of our size reduction process specialists. One of the first steps in the size reduction equipment design process is to perform a feasibility study and test. By running this preliminary test step, our chemical and mechanical engineering staff will determine the viability of milling, screening, grinding, crushing, shredding or pulverizing your material. To accomplish this, the engineering team will test your material, under atmospheric to cryogenic conditions, on our in-house size reduction equipment in an actual processing environment. Once the results of this extensive testing are reviewed, our engineering staff will recommend a standard or custom size reduction and processing system that will meet or exceed your sizing specifications.
Every day, a wide range of organic and inorganic materials and compounds are tested in our material testing laboratory. With a PhD on staff overseeing our laboratory and processing center, Blue Tech has tested well over 450 materials and recommended the appropriate processing equipment for the particular substance. Some of the materials that have been tested in our Lab Testing Center include:

This is just a sampling of materials that have been tested by Blue Tech's in-house laboratory, and successfully "matched" to a standard or custom size reduction system. As noted above, new materials and compounds are tested daily for feasibility (in terms of size reduction processing).
