Core offering

STM Microtec designs, manufactures, and commissions dry grinding, micronization, and dosage plants and systems for industrial and environmental applications. The offering ranges from individual milling machines (impact, air jet, sieve, pin, crusher, and roller pressure mills; dynamic classifiers) and dosing/distribution equipment, to complete turnkey systems such as the proprietary BICARMILL® sodium bicarbonate injection platform and CRYO-PLANT cryogenic milling systems, supported by feasibility testing, PSD laboratory analysis, installation, maintenance, training, and spare parts services.

Product overview

STM Microtec offers a portfolio of dry grinding, micronization, and dosing products and systems for industrial and environmental applications. The core portfolio spans impact mills (JCF, RTM, Compact), air jet mills (MJS with N2 inertization), cryogenic pin/sieve mills (MP, MR with LN2), crusher mills (MF), roller pressure mills (TRM), and dynamic classifiers (SDF), alongside MD Series microdosers and BD Distribution Chambers. These are complemented by two laboratory milling lines — Galileo Line and Zero Line — both offering interchangeable tooling for R&D-scale batch processing. Turnkey integrated systems include BICARMILL® (JCF-based sodium bicarbonate milling and injection for flue gas depuration, available in models from 10 to 1800 kg/h), CRYO-PLANT (cryogenic milling systems using liquid nitrogen), and ATEX-compliant MDS and MJS plants for hazardous environments. Add-on integrated devices cover CLEAN MACHINE (automatic anti-caking additive dosing), automatic lubrication, vibration monitoring, temperature control, and soundproofing cabins. Monitoring & Software provides PLC-based control panels managing over 20 operational parameters including PID loops, laser particle sizing, and real-time data display. The company also provides associated services including feasibility testing, PSD laboratory analysis, installation, programmed maintenance, tele-assistance, operator training, spare parts, and plant restyling.
