'''Spiral jet mills''' are a type of air [[Micronizers|microniser]] suitable for grinding hard and soft materials (of up to a hardness of 10 Mohs) and producing powders generally in the range of 1 to 20 microns. Material is fed into a high-speed vortex, within the shallow grinding chamber, which is created by introducing high-energy air jets through a series of specialist nozzles. Material is ground through attrition within the vortex and is drawn through the central fixed [[Classifiers|classifier]] once particles are small enough.
