Jet mill pulverizer is a common piece of equipment that uses high-speed airflow to pulverize and classify materials; widely used in medicine, the chemical industry, food, agriculture, and other industries. So, what materials are suitable for crushing by jet pulverizer mill? Below, we will find out.
Jet mill pulverizer can crush ultra-hard materials. Their Mohs hardness is > 4. It crushes them into ultra-fine powder. Its unique working principle lets it process many materials dry, at high purity, and at low temperatures. It is used in many industries like chemicals, mining, and batteries. It is also used for refractory materials, non-metallic minerals, and building materials. In addition, it is used for pharmaceuticals, food, pesticides, and feed. It is also used for new materials and environmental protection.

Materials unsuitable for jet pulverizer processing
Jet pulverizers are unsuitable for crushing viscous materials. They easily block inside the pulverizer, affecting its operation. For example, sticky honey, syrup, jam, and other materials are unsuitable for crushing using a jet pulverizer mill. Also, tough materials like rice hulls and fibers are unsuitable for jet pulverizers. These materials are hard to crush with the jet mill’s fast airflow. They also cause wear and damage.
Precautions for using jet mill pulverizer
In the use of a jet pulverizer for crushing, one needs to pay attention to the following matters:
(1) According to the nature and requirements of the material, select the appropriate air flow pulverizer model and equipment parameters.
(2) you need to use different crushing processes and crusher combinations to achieve the best crushing effect and yield for different materials.
(3) Using the jet mill pulverizer for crushing ensures continuous supply and discharge of materials to avoid material accumulation and blockage.
(4) Regular maintenance and repair of the air grinder, cleaning up the accumulated material residue inside the equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
