Sugino Star Burst full range of model sizes and types

Star Burst vs Other Common Processing Methods

Star Burst processes materials with minimal contamination, while providing a scalable solution that works from R&D to full production. We'll test your materials to see if it works for your process. Learn more about how Star Burst compares to other common milling systems below.

Wet jet milling offers a scalable method for processing materials with minimal contamination across a wide range of industries - from pharmaceutical and biomass nanofiber, to electronic and semiconductor components, battery materials, cosmetics, skincare and pigments. Learn how it compares to bead milling, roll mills, and other commonly-used equipment.

Top reasons companies choose Star Burst:
  • Minimal Contamination
  • Scalability
  • Shorter Processing Time
