Fluid
Air milling systems can size reduce wet or dry
powders in the range of 10 to 400 mesh (2000-27 microns).
The systems are equipped with variable speed drives to permit
low speed screening and high speed impacting with one milling
system. A typical Fluid Air
milling system consists of an inlet, chamber with rotor,
screen and an outlet. The particle size distribution generated
is dependent upon the speed of the rotor, rotor type, screen
hole size and the feed rate of the product. All of these
parameters are critical and will affect the end particle
distribution.
The following graphic shows how changes to the operating
parameters affect the particle size and distribution of
the product being processed. Use the view button to activate
the individual animations.
These correlations will hold true as long
as the material is not being fed at such a high rate that
material builds up in the chamber.
