PMT- Jetmill GmbH New Developments in Filler Micronization Jürgen Roth, Veronika Mayer Ultrafine Grinding ’06, Falmouth, UK 12.-13. June 2006
Outline • Requirements of the Filler Industry • Compound Reinforcement • Comparison of Grinding Technologies • Basics of Jetmilling • PMT Spiral Jet Mill • Some Application Results • Conclusions
Requirements of the Filler Industry The Future • Increasing Technical Demand from Compounders • Change from 'Extender Fillers' to 'Functional Fillers' • Importance of the Processing Stage to Enhance the Functional Properties of Minerals
Requirements of the Filler Industry Fillers are now High-Tech Products Compounders are looking for a Solution, not for a “Crushed Rock”
Requirements of the Filler Industry The Target - Finest Products • Finest Particle Sizes (d50) • Exact Top Cut (d97) • Improvement of the Functional Properties • Lower Specific Energy Consumption • Industrial Scale Size Output • Guaranteed Operational Reliability
Compound Reinforcement • Ec …. Modulus Compound • Em … Modulus Matrix • A … Aspect Ratio • B, C … Empirical Functions of Filler Modulus, Packing Fraction, Filler Loading • F ……. Filler Volume Fraction Nielson Equation Fillers with High Aspect Ratio Reinforce Better
Aspect Ratio (after W. Hohenberger) • A .......... Aspect Ratio • Os ......... Specific Surface • rF ........... Filler Density • d50, d84 ... PSD Values
Comparison of Grinding Technologies Opposed Jetmill Spiral Jetmill Impact - Jetmill • Best operational area Mohs 4 to 10or • cubic shape or • metal powders • Wearless and iron free grinding • Comminution by particle - particle collisions • Best operational area Mohs 1 to 4 with • laminar, layered or porous structure • Comminution by high velocity differences • high delamination effects • Lower particle collisions • Best operational area Mohs 4 to 10 • Big wear of the target plate • Not an iron free product
Suitable Minerals Soft to middle hard minerals Lamellar or porous structure • Graphite • Barite • Mica • Talc • Wollastonite • Zeolite • etc.
Spiral Jetmill Scheme • Injector Feed • Nozzles Around the Circumference • Spiral Stream Classifying
PMT Spiral Jetmill SJ Concentration of the Grinding Energy Higher Milling Chamber Special Feed Control System Coarse Product Outlet for Hard Grindable Materials Constant Loading
Advantages of PMT Jetmill System • Exact Top Cut (d97) 2. Coarse Product Outlet 3. Energy Consumption 4. Operational Reliability
