Jet mills, as advanced ultrafine grinding equipment, play a vital role in processing PE wax powder. By utilizing high-speed airflow to induce particle collisions and friction, they achieve remarkable features such as fine particle size, narrow distribution, high purity, and enhanced surface activity. Below is a detailed analysis of the achievable fineness of PE wax powder using jet mills and the influencing factors.
Jet mills can typically grind PE wax powder to a fineness range of 0.2 to 200 microns, covering everything from micron to sub-micron levels to meet various industrial requirements. High-performance models, such as the ZJ-QLM series, can achieve even finer particle sizes, with production capacities ranging from 0.2 kg to 900 kg per hour, demonstrating excellent adaptability and flexibility.
Factors Affecting Fineness
1. Equipment Model & Performance
Different jet mill models vary in grinding capability, airflow velocity, and chamber design, directly impacting the final particle size. Stable performance ensures consistent results during prolonged operation.
2. Process Parameters
Higher air velocity increases particle collisions for finer results, but excessive speeds may cause over-grinding or overheating. If the feed rate is too fast, it reduces grinding efficiency. If the feed rate is too slow, it lowers productivity. Adjusting the classifer wheel speed controls particle size distribution.
3. Material Properties
Hardness, toughness, and melting point of PE wax affect grinding difficulty. Harder wax may require higher airflow velocity and longer processing.
Initial particle size distribution and shape also influence outcomes, necessitating tailored grinding and classification.
Advantages of Jet Milling
Jet mill can achieve ultrafine particles. It achieves micron or sub-micron precision. It can also make the powder has narrow distribution. Uniform particle size improves product consistency. The powder produced by Jet mill has high purity. There’s no contamination from grinding media. At last, Jet mill has enhanced activity because the increased surface area benefits downstream applications.
