AFG

Młyn strumieniowy przeciwbieżny ze złożem fluidalnym do wytwarzania proszków o stromym rozkładzie wielkości cząstek i ostrym ograniczeniu górnego rozmiaru w zakresie <5 µm do 200 µm.

Dysze mielące rozmieszczone na obwodzie komory mielenia
Koło (a) klasyfikacyjne ułożone poziomo w górnej części klasyfikatora
Chłodne i wolne od zanieczyszczeń mielenie
Łatwe czyszczenie dzięki odchylanej tylnej części i zdejmowanej górnej części klasyfikatora oraz platformie inspekcyjnej w obudowie młyna

Kiedy w 1981 roku firma ALPINE wprowadziła na rynek młyn strumieniowy ze złożem fluidalnym AFG, zrewolucjonizowała młyn strumieniowy. Od tego czasu sprzedano ponad 1000 maszyn do szerokiej gamy zastosowań.
W mieleniu strumieniowym rozdrabnianie jest wyłącznie wynikiem zderzenia między cząstkami w strumieniach gazu. A ponieważ w strefie mielenia nie ma żadnych elementów mechanicznych to nie dochodzi do zużycia maszyny ani zanieczyszczenia produktu. Dlatego mielenie strumieniowe jest często stosowane, gdy wymagane są produkty wolne od zanieczyszczeń.

Mielenie strumieniowe jest odpowiednie dla każdego materiału o twardości: od twardości Mohsa 1 (talk) do twardości Mohsa 10 (diamenty).

As ALPINE launched the AFG fluidised bed opposed jet mill onto the market in 1981, it succeeded in revolutionising jet milling. Since then, over 1,000 machines have been sold for a wide diversity of applications.

In jet milling, comminution is exclusively the result of interparticle collision in the gas jets. And because there are no machine components in the grinding zone, neither machine wear nor product contamination occurs. This is why jet milling is often used when contamination-free products are required.

Jet milling is suitable for any material hardness value: from Mohs' hardness 1 (talc) to Mohs' hardness 10 (diamonds).

Principle of operation

During expansion, the energy contained in the compressed gas in the form of heat is converted to kinetic energy. The speed of sound is initially a natural limit for the exit velocity. But by using Laval nozzles, the exit velocity can be increased to above the speed of sound. Laval nozzles are characterised by their hourglass shape, which widens downstream of the narrowest cross-sectional point, the nozzle throat.

The length of the divergent part of the nozzle is adapted to suit the operating pressure. Compressed air of 20°C and 6 bar overpressure is frequently used as the grinding gas, and delivers nozzle exit speeds of around 500 m/s. As a result of drawing in gas and product from the fluidised bed, the speed of the gas jets sinks extremely rapidly after exiting the nozzles. Comminution is a result of interparticle collision in the jets of air and also in the core area, i.e. the point where the opposing jets intersect.

AFG Details

Jet mills are impact mills which are used to achieve maximum fineness values at maximum product purity. Such particle sizes can only be obtained in connection with an air classifying step. Spiral jet mills have a static air classifier integrated into the mill housing, whereas fluidised bed opposed jet mills are equipped with a dynamic deflector-wheel classifier.

The fineness is set as a function of the classifying wheel speed. All-important is a high product loading of the nozzle jets in order to achieve a high concentration of particles and thus high impact probabilities. The patented Megajet® nozzles were developed with this in mind. They consist of four small nozzles which as a result of their close proximity generate an underpressure at their common centre, and thus draw particles from the fluidised bed direct into the centre of the nozzle jet. The product level in the machine is controlled by means of load cells or by monitoring the current loading of the classifier drive.
