Particle Sizing with Least Amount of Fines

Posted in: , on 24. Sep. 2009 - 15:49

Hi,

I have an inquiry.

I am currently involved in the development of a new granulated product. After we finish the granulation the product is dried in a Fluid bed dryer. This product is then screened to give us the required particle size. During granulation and drying there is a problem of oversized granules and lumps.

My requirement is that I need to size this oversize material with the least amount of fines. My lower most sieve size is 200 US Std Size Sieve. I would like to minimise the fines (< 200 mesh) and get most of the product retained on the 200 mesh.

I have 3 options with me currently. (The problems I faced with each is in brackets)

1. Multimill (too much fines)

2. Quadro CoMill (product is slightly abrasive - the comill mesh gets torn after a while)

3. Oscillating Granulator (not yet tried)

If any one has any experience in particle size reduction, I would appreciate their help.

Regards.

Dear Rohseq,

My name is Mark Toman and I am the Director of Business Development for Classifier Milling Systems Corporation. You can view us online at www.cms-can.com for more information. However, briefly we are a size reduction and grinding technology company. We manufacture process equipment with many years of experience in the size reduction industry. At CMS we strive to earn our customer’s trust by supplying high quality equipment.

Our products are designed for reliable performance, easy maintenance, and energy efficiency. We have patented technology to most efficiently grind down particles to a uniform consistency, as well as reduce the amount of waste produced from the process. Whether it is offering a new system, designing additions to your existing operation, or simply supplying you with quality spare parts on time, we are looking to improve your company’s production, and profitability. At CMS we are committed to implementing and maintaining the highest standards of quality to ensure customer satisfaction.

We have expanded across the globe with projects in China and Brazil, among other places, ranging from the resource extraction industry to pharmaceuticals. Beyond the basic idea of grinding efficiency, we have also developed emission control technology with the capability of reducing excreted emissions to a fraction of your current levels.

I recently saw your post on the forum and thought that due to our expertise in this industry specifically, we could help improve your company’s efficiency and costs, while also increasing production levels and therefore, profit margin. We are currently in negotiations with several large mining firms, and have effectively advised them on the best and most efficient ways to, both mine and grind their product, to the highest quality level of uniformly ground powder. If you could send us a sample of the product, we could run a test on our lab system and definitively determine whether our system would serve your purpose.

Please feel free to email me back and let me know if you may be interested. I look forward to discussing the capability of supplying your company with our equipment and service. Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated.

You can contact me at anytime via email at m.toman@cms-can.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.
