Ultra fine grinding is among the most needed and energy consuming widespread operations in many sectors of industry.
Ultra fine grinding is reported to consume up to 10% of the global energy consumption, (In US alone, 32 billion kWh/year are spent on ultra fine grinding operations).
In many enterprises it is accountable to over 30% of the operating cost, So it is natural there are persistent efforts to optimize ultra fine grinding operations.
Fine grinding is size reduction process resulting in the range of 50 microns to 20 microns.
Ultra fine grinding is size reduction process resulting in the range of 20 microns down to one micron.
Depends on surface appearance which is a function of fillers' & pigments' size
by extending the surface area of the grinded material
Technological process optimization
Extending the cost efficiency ratios
Curative effects Accelerating absorption, lesser side effects, accelerated digestibility
Leads to a variety of effects that critically change properties of many materials, creating the opportunity for re-engineering of existing products and engineering of new products with unprecedented performance levels
Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS)
Improving performance, reliability, durability
Chemical processes acceleration
- Mining & minerals:
- Cost effective recovery & grade for targeted minerals & metals
Increased extraction/ improved beneficiation
