Particle Size Reduction

Particle size reduction is the process of breaking down larger materials into smaller particles. This can improve the material's properties, such as increasing its surface area, enhancing its reactivity, and making it easier to mix or dissolve. Common methods include grinding, milling, or crushing. For example, turning whole grains into flour increases their usability in baking. This process is essential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food production, and materials science, as it helps achieve desired textures, improve product performance, and ensure consistent quality.
