The custom blending and milling of paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals and personal care products require costly specialized equipment and knowledge of intricate engineering processes. Manufacturers may not have the resources for making these products in their own facilities because acquisition of all of the necessary equipment and expertise can be cost-prohibitive. Intensive processes and complex formulations make toll processing pharmaceuticals extremely cost-effective, and provide consistency and quality control to prevent loss and ensure efficient production at the maximum yield.
Toll processing, also referred to as toll milling, toll blending, tolling, contract manufacturing and custom processing, involves a fee-for-service agreement for the custom mixing and processing of a customer’s product. It can be used at any point in the production process from fabrication of an intermediary to the complete manufacture of raw materials into a finished product. Custom processing services are used to manufacture products within various industries, including paints, inks, coatings, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other industries where particle size reduction is required.
Applying years of expertise in media mill technology, Custom Milling & Consulting LLC, has developed a line of process equipment for the mixing, milling and blending of wetted materials including horizontal media mills, basket media mills, planetary mixers and ram presses. Due to the intricate formulations, blending of products and chemicals, and the complicated processes required for pharmaceuticals, outsourcing these services to CMC offers significant savings over in-house production, as well as batch consistency and expert quality control.
Other benefits of toll manufacturing include:
- Process machinery can be tailored to a customer’s specifications
- Technical support and knowledge of processes
- Exclusivity and confidentiality of proprietary formulations
- Reduction of particle size to submicron and nanometer ranges
- Flexibility to adjust formulation or production volume
- Specialized handling of volatile or hazardous materials
- By-products can be preserved for generation of additional revenue
- Compliance with regulatory requirements
- Eliminates investments in equipment and other related expenses
CMC’s tolling services can include reaction processes, formulations, blending, mixing and size reduction, separation, agglomeration, packaging/repackaging and any combinations of these services. Toll manufacturing also enhances the areas of safety, industrial hygiene, catastrophic incident prevention and off-site/on-site environmental responsibility.
