The main function of the mill is to process solid materials into powder. This can promote uniform mixing and fluidity of material, and ultimately improve product quality. There are many types of mills. This text will analyze the comparison between air classifier mill with impact mill, ball mill and jet mill, to explore their difference in term of particle size they can obtain.
1. Particle size advantage of of air classifier mill
Air classifier mill is suitable for a wide range of particle size, from micron to millimeter. This wide range of particle size makes it highly flexible in a variety of applications. Air classifier mill can obtain narrow particle size distribution, with particle size between 5 and 10 microns. This fineness is vital in some industries, such as pharmaceutical industry, where uniformity directly impacts efficacy and quality of drugs.
2. Comparison with other mills
❊ Compared with impact mill
Traditional impact mill can only produce larger particle sizes, this limits the fineness that can be obtained. While air classifier mill can achieve granularity classification during the grinding process, realizing more precise control over the final product.
❊ Compared with ball mill
Although ball mill can achieve fine particles, it usually requires longer processing time and may generate excessive heat, while excessive heat would affect grinding effect of heat-sensitive material. In contrast, air classifier mill would cause less heat due to effective airflow control, this makes air classifier mill suitable for grinding heat-sensitive material.
❊ Compared with jet mill
Jet mill can also produce fine particles and narrow distribution, but it often requires higher energy input and there may be restrictions on material types, for example: harder material is difficult to handle. While air classifier mill can offer more energy-efficient solutions, meanwhile maintain grind-ability of various material.
Conclusão
From above all, we can conclude that air classifier mill has significant advantages over other mills in particle size control. These advantages endow air classifier mill excellent performance in handling particle fineness. Especially in industries that require precise particle distribution, such as: pharmaceuticals and chemical industries, air classifier mill shows unique application value.
