EXPERTISE ACCUMULATED OVER MORE THAN A CENTURY.

Part of the internationally renowned Japanese Hosokawa Micron Group and boasting customers around the globe, Hosokawa Micron’s high-performance, specialist powder processing equipment and integrated process systems are uniquely designed, engineered and manufactured here in Cheshire and are trusted by an ever-increasing number of industry sectors – most notably pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and beverage, cosmetics, minerals, nuclear, renewable energy and battery materials, additive manufacturing, soaps and detergents, metals, ceramics, automotive and pigments.

Hosokawa Micron’s product portfolio includes a wide-ranging selection of full-size, production-scale manufacturing equipment and each piece is equipped with the latest technology and processing techniques. The processing equipment is suitable for a plethora of diverse applications based around containment, conveying and handling, size reduction, mixing and blending, drying, agglomeration, classification and compaction.

A collection of smaller pilot plant, laboratory equipment and precision instruments are perfect for academic and laboratory use, powder testing, R&D and small-scale manufacturing, including batch processing tiny amounts of material. Every piece of equipment is made to the highest standards, is built to last and is meticulously engineered to meet a raft of internationally recognised safety and quality standards.

Complementing the innovative processing equipment and systems are additional services such as contract manufacturing and lifecycle management. The company also offers an extensive range of technical services – including powder testing and new product development – which underpin the process equipment and system engineering. Technical  support activities are carried out at Hosokawa Micron’s state-of-the-art laboratory facility, located in the Techspace One building here at Sci-Tech Daresbury, while all other activities are based at their manufacturing facility in nearby Runcorn.

The adaptable laboratory provides Hosokawa Micron’s customers with excellent opportunities to have their cutting-edge equipment and process systems, products and processes developed and tested in a very controlled, convenient and safely managed environment and is an impressive backdrop to a highly confidential, collaborative process between Hosokawa Micron and each customer’s technical team.

Using a selection of Hosokawa-brand equipment, combined with the expertise of Hosokawa Micron’s highly qualified in-house team of scientists, technicians and engineers, the comprehensive, fully documented R&D procedures establish the optimal processing and tailor-made equipment solution for the customer’s requirements, which are often extremely specific. In turn, Hosokawa Micron consistently delivers products that enable customers to manufacture the highest quality materials and enjoy significant commercial and financial advantages.
