Contract Processing & Process Equipment

British Rema processing equipment and systems help you achieve control and consistency when manufacturing powders, and products in granular or agglomerated form.

Founded in 1927, the company was an early pioneer in the field of particle size reduction and size control, specialising in milling, micronizing and classification.

We’ve since developed our own range of proprietary equipment, introducing early versions of the jet mill and various air classification systems, and extended their applications beyond the traditional mineral processing markets into fine chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals to a world-wide customer base.

Applications for British Rema plant and equipment now extend beyond the traditional mineral processing markets into fine chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals and to a world-wide customer base.

British Rema Processing Ltd, our contract processing business, uses proprietary equipment and systems at its factory in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK to validate and optimise customer materials and processes.

In addition to our team of expert process and mechanical engineers, our Chesterfield plant has the versatility to accommodate small batch series as well as production quantities of our clients’ powdered chemical materials.

Recent contract processing projects have included:

Toll processing thermoplastic polymers to achieve precision particle size distribution and ensure perfect melt characteristics and flawless output.

Blending pigments and dyes to improve colour control and intensity.

Micronising ingredients such as phosphorus for fertilisers and sulphur for fungicides to improve yield by protecting grapevines from mildew.

Powder Processing Equipment

British Rema Process Equipment Ltd, designs, builds and installs equipment from laboratory to commercial-scale to process powdered chemicals.

Our equipment range comprises high quality impact, jet and ball mills, micronisers, air classifiers, mixers, blenders and rotary dryers.

Our team of expert mechanical and process engineers and scientists provide technical advice, engineering services and consultancy on equipment to suit the optimal manufacture of a wide range of chemical materials and processes.

Powder Processing Services

Our contract powder processing division, British Rema Processing Ltd has a wealth of experience toll milling and classifying organic materials such as structural polymers, resins and waxes, many of which traditionally require cryogenic milling, plus inorganic materials, chemicals, minerals and ores, even extremely hard substances such as metal oxides, carbides and nitrides.

We also offer the facilities of our Processing Test Centre to customers who wish to assess and improve their materials and processes. Working as an external R&D facility, our customers run trials on existing products and new materials prior to implementing new developments.

Our expert team of scientists, mechanical and process engineers can advise customers on the feasibility of running trial batch or series production quantities of their materials on British Rema’s own versatile milling, micronizing, classifying, mixing and blending plant prior to making new developments or investment in new equipment.

Rotary Engineering Maintenance and Services

In addition, our rotary engineering division is experienced in maintaining and repairing industrial-scale kilns, dryers and similar tyre-mounted, multi-pier rotary equipment for processing ores, cements, minerals and chars.

Expert services include condition inspection, equipment alignment and thrust monitoring, re-surfacing of roller and tyre components, section and critical part replacement, on-site supervision of major rotating equipment repairs and installations and staff training.
