Chemical Contract Processing

Chemical contract processing is when a manufacturer or producer partners with a specialist third-party provider to carry out specific processing steps on their behalf, using the provider’s equipment, expertise and compliant facilities, without the need for capital investment in machinery or personnel.

We offer a range of size reduction and powder characterisation services for chemical manufacturers and producers, including milling, Mechanofusion™, grinding, classification and blending. Our team will work with you to identify the most appropriate process for your material and specification requirements.

We have experience processing a wide range of chemical materials, including specialty chemicals, industrial chemicals, coatings, additives, chemical intermediates and cosmetics. We offer a full turn key process, i.e. milling, blending and packing into containers to be used directly in the market place. Contact our team to discuss the suitability of your specific material and processing requirements.

Our facilities and processes operate in accordance with recognised chemical industry safety and quality standards, ensuring all processing is carried out within a strictly controlled, compliant and fully documented environment. Contact our team to discuss your specific regulatory requirements.

Responsibility is shared between both parties. Hosokawa Micron is responsible for operating to agreed safety, environmental and quality standards, while the client retains responsibility for ensuring the final product meets the legal, technical and safety requirements of their target market.

We have experience handling materials with specific safety and environmental sensitivities. Our team will assess the suitability of your material against our facility capabilities and safety protocols before any processing begins. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

We operate strict safety procedures and environmental controls throughout all processing activities, with documented risk assessments and safety protocols in place for every material we handle. The safety of our personnel, your materials and the wider environment is central to how we operate.

We follow strict cleaning and changeover procedures between production runs, with documented verification to ensure there is no risk of cross-contamination between materials or batches. Full traceability is maintained throughout.

We operate with defined and validated processing parameters with full documentation and traceability maintained throughout each production run, ensuring every batch meets your agreed specifications consistently and reliably.

Our milling and classification technologies are capable of achieving a wide range of particle sizes depending on the material and application. Our team will work with you to establish the target particle size distribution required for your product or process.

We carry out a range of powder characterisation analyses, including particle size distribution, bulk and tapped density and flowability. These measurements help establish baseline material properties and verify that processing has achieved your required specifications.

Yes. We work with chemical manufacturers and producers at every stage, from small-scale feasibility trials and process development through to full commercial production volumes, providing a flexible service that adapts to your requirements.

We offer a range of secure packaging options, including FIBCs, sacks and drums, ensuring your processed materials are packaged safely, compliantly and in line with your specific product and logistics requirements.

Contact our team with details of your material, processing requirements and target specifications. We will guide you through the process, including any feasibility assessments or trials required before full production begins.
