Ceramic Powder Processing Systems
Achieve exceptional quality and precision in ceramic powder production. Hosokawa Micron supplies advanced processing systems for technical ceramics and mineral-based powders such as alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide and steatite—designed to ensure high fineness, purity and reliable, long-term performance in demanding ceramic manufacturing environments.
Our systems can handle ultra-hard, abrasive materials with minimal metal contamination. Our systems are built for high fineness, precise particle size control and material purity, incorporating wear-resistant linings and anti-contamination coatings—tailored to meet the demanding requirements of modern ceramic powder processing. Whether you’re processing structural ceramics, functional ceramics or high-tech advanced materials, we support you from concept to commissioning.
Ceramic Powder Processing Solutions
Our portfolio includes standalone machines and integrated systems, supporting all key steps in ceramic manufacturing—from raw material preparation to finished powders:
Mixing
The Nauta® conical screw mixer provides gentle, homogenous blending of ceramic powders with binders and additives. Its efficient mixing operation ensures consistent product quality with minimal product retention and complete discharge—ideal for high-value or sensitive formulations.
Drying
The DMR flash dryer is a compact drying system that combines drying, de-agglomeration, milling and classifying in one continuous step. Especially suited for ceramic slurries or filter cakes, it delivers a free-flowing powder with low residual moisture and improved handling properties.
Milling & Classifying
Hosokawa Alpine’s extensive range of milling and classifying systems enables ultra-fine grinding and exact particle size control. These technologies are essential for producing high-performance ceramics, whether from synthetic materials or natural minerals.
Durable, Contamination-Resistant Design
Ceramic processing demands equipment that can withstand abrasive wear while maintaining material integrity. That’s why Hosokawa systems are engineered with wear-resistant linings and anti-contamination coatings to minimise metal contact and preserve purity. We support all types of ceramics—from structural and functional to advanced materials—while helping reduce maintenance, downtime and operational costs.
Every system is tailored to match your specific feed materials, throughput and product requirements—scalable for pilot lines, flexible production or continuous high-volume manufacturing.
