Air Jet Mill Mechanism Sturtevant Micronizer

air jet mill mechanism sturtevant micronizer  


The Spiral Jet mill has a simple structure with a classifying mechanism that utilizes the spiral airflow generated within the machine. It has the ability to ultra-fine grind raw materials with low-melting points to sizes of a few μm. The machine can be manufactured to correspond with GMP, CIP/SIP standards, making it a suitable machine for grinding a wide variety of materials for pharmaceuticals. Principle



As shown in Fig, the grinding air first passes through the socket(c) and flows into the air ring (d). From there, the air flows through the Laval nozzles set in a helical manner and is injected into the grinding chamber at high speeds reaching the speed of sound. Air for feeding the raw material passes through socket (k) and flows into the ejector (b). The raw material is fed into the grinding chamber from the feed chute via suction force generated by the ejector air (30% of total compressed air volume) and is instantly captured by the spiral air-flow of the grinding air. From this mechanism, the raw material is then ground by the impact/friction generated from the particles colliding with each other and the nozzle ring (e). The comminuted materials are then classified by the whirlpool vortex developed within the grinding chamber. The processed fine particles are discharged through the outlet (h) by the grinding air. The coarse particles remain inside the grinding chamber by centrifugal force, and are ground once again.
The unique design of the outlet allows the Spiral Jet Mill to perform efficient fine particle classification. The airflow inside the grinding chamber is directly affected by the concentration of raw material within the chamber. When the concentration of raw material is high, less centrifugal force is applied due to a turbulence build up, which in turn leads to a coarser product size. Therefore, the balance between material concentration and classification air volume become the major key elements for product size control. Nozzle angle adjustments are another essential condition for controlling product size but it requires the whole nozzle ring to be exchanged.

Features
