There are two types of bead mills, namely vertical bead mills, and horizontal bead mills, and vertical and horizontal bead mills can be divided into open or closed dispersing disc bead mills, rod pin or Conical annulus bead mills; and dispersive disc horizontal bead mills and horizontal pin or horizontal conical annular bead mills. At present, the bead mill is the essence of domestic and foreign models. It has particularly high efficiency and can achieve high efficiency and high continuity of work. The entire work process can achieve extremely low pollution or zero pollution, and users can use it easily. , The bead mill produced by FRANLI has a favorable price, the structure of the whole machine is compact, and the appearance is also repeatedly designed by the designer. On the premise of satisfying the use, it also satisfies the user’s visual experience, especially with strong practicability.
The bead mill is mainly composed of a motor, a transmission device (such as a hydraulic coupling), the main shaft, a grinding drum, a dispersion device, a separation device, a feeding system, a shaft seal, a frame, a running protection device, and a grinding and dispersing medium. The operation protection of the bead mill can be realized by the micro-intelligent electronic technology of relay and programmable controller.
The bead mill uses the material pump to feed the solid-liquid phase mixture material pre-dispersed and wetted by the mixer into the cylinder. The particles and the grinding medium produce more intense collision, friction and shearing action to achieve the purpose of speeding up the grinding of fine particles and dispersing aggregates. The bead mill grinds the dispersed material, separates the grinding medium through the dynamic separator, and flows out from the discharge pipe.
Selection of bead mill barrel
Then when choosing the barrel material of the nano-bead mill, generally choose stainless steel (of course, special materials can be selected from special materials, such as ceramics). Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and durability. Of course, it is necessary to Look at the mechanical seal, the mechanical seal circulating fluid of the nano bead mill can reduce the damage to the product from air pollution; there are two materials for the grinding drum rotor, one is a disc grinding disc, and the other is a rod pin. These two types of grinding discs can meet the needs of users well, mainly depending on your choice of grinding thickness.
Selection of grinding media for bead mills
The horizontal bead mill is especially suitable for dispersing and grinding products with high viscosity and fine particle size. The media and materials to be milled should be selected according to what you want to produce. The horizontal nano bead mill is an interval separation device. In this way, the material and the grinding medium can be easily separated and operated; as long as the design of the nano-bead mill is reasonable, the production efficiency is very good; check the convenience of changing the zirconium beads and whether the design is reasonable in cleaning; of course, the important thing is safety Whether the protection settings are safe.
