Ultra-High Shear Fine Particle Crystallization System
『CRYSTALLEX Series』
Principle
Conventional stirred-tank reactive crystallization systems often suffer from non-uniform mixing within the reaction zone, leading to inconsistencies in particle shape and particle size.
The CRYSTALLEX Series features a compact, standalone reactor design that efficiently delivers high shear forces directly to the reaction zone. This unique approach enables the production of highly spherical fine particles with superior particle size uniformity, meeting the demanding requirements of advanced material manufacturing.
Features
■CRYSTALLEX Type VF
・Achievable Particle Size Range: From Single micron to about ten of microns
・The CRYSTALLEX Series achieves significantly higher shear force than conventional
stirred-tank reactive crystallization systems, providing the following benefits:
➤ Enhanced Product Quality
- Enables the production of fine particles with uniform particle size and high sphericity.
➤ Compact Equipment Design
- Promotes crystal growth, allowing the equipment size to be significantly reduced.
- Contributes to a smaller installation footprint and lower capital investment costs.
➤ Saving Start-up Time
- Accelerates crystal growth, enabling faster achievement of the target particle size.
- Reduces off-spec products and manufacturing costs.

■CRYSTALLEX Type DD
- Achievable Particle Size Range: Submicron to Single-Micron
- A next-generation model that inherits the advantages of Type VF, including a compact footprint,reduced construction costs, and space-saving design.
- Technological Innovations Beyond Type VF: Delivering Enhanced Performance
➤ Ultra-High Shear Force
By incorporating a newly designed high-speed rotor in the reactor section, the system achieves approximately 100 times higher shear force than conventional stirred-tank crystallization reactors.
➤ Enhanced Dispersion in the Reaction Zone
Through our proprietary mechanism that directly injects feed materials as a rotating spray from the impeller tip, dispersion of reactants within the reaction zone and particle size control performance are significantly improved. This enables the production of high-quality fine particles even in particle size ranges that were difficult to achieve with Type VF.
➤ Greater Flexibility in Fine Particle Design
The adoption of the Dual Drive System, which allows independent control of ultra-high shear force and circulation flow rate, enables selective and precise adjustment of shear conditions even during operation. This dramatically expands the degree of freedom in particle design, including precise particle size control, improved sphericity, and optimization of particle structure.


■Advanced Scale-Up Technology of the CRYSTALLEX Series
The CRYSTALLEX Series enables seamless scale-up from laboratory to commercial production by appropriately maintaining critical scale-up parameters, including reactor shear conditions and crystal residence time, thereby ensuring consistent product quality across all scales.
