Classifier Wheel Speed Control: Impacts, Balancing & 4 Hidden Pitfalls
In powder processing, the classifier wheel is a key component for controlling the particle size distribution of the final product. The rotational speed of the classifier wheel directly determines the cutoff point for particle separation. This makes it a critical parameter in powder processing. In this article, we will discuss the impact of classifier wheel […]
Plant Fiber Modification: Particle Size & RTM Turbo Mill | Epic Powder
If you work in a biotech company that processes plant fibers, you have probably asked this question:What particle size and other specifications should I aim for when modifying plant fibers? Plant fibers are tough, heat-sensitive, and tend to clump. That’s where the RTM Turbo Mill Coating System comes in. It combines fine grinding, drying, and […]
How to Choose the Right Bentonite Fineness for Different Applications and What Grinding Equipment Is Needed?
Bentonite is often referred to as “the universal clay.” It is mainly composed of montmorillonite and features key properties such as water absorption and swelling, bonding, suspension, thixotropy, and adsorption. However, not all bentonite is the same. Choosing the wrong type or ignoring key indicators may lead to increased costs at best, and at worst, […]
How to Achieve Efficient Ultra-fine Grinding of Inorganic Solid Electrolytes Using Traditional Ball Mills?
In the research and industrialization of All-Solid-State Batteries (ASSBs), Inorganic Solid Electrolytes (ISEs) are regarded as the core key materials. Whether they belong to the oxide system (e.g., LLZO), the sulfide system (e.g., Li3PS4、Li10GeP2S12), or the halide system, their physical morphology, particle size distribution, and specific surface area directly determine the final performance of the […]
What Causes the Agglomeration of Barium Sulfate Powder? How to Disperse Barium Sulfate Powder?
Precipitated barium sulfate (BaSO4) is a typical functional inorganic chemical material. It is widely used in coatings, plastics, inks, and polymer composites due to its high whiteness, excellent hiding power, and outstanding chemical stability. However, in practical applications, its performance is often limited by a core issue—particle agglomeration. Agglomeration not only causes ultrafine particles to […]
South African Rooibos Tea Superfine Pulverization Process: How Jet Milling Achieves Particle Size Control at 8-12 Microns While Preserving Bioactivity
Rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis) is also known as redbush tea or South African national treasure tea. It is a shrub from the legume family. It grows in the Cederberg Mountains north of Cape Town, South Africa. Renowned as the “South African ruby,” it is caffeine-free. It is low in oxalic acid and tannins. Furthermore, it […]
What is High-Purity Ultrafine Alumina and How is It Prepared?
The rapid development of next-generation technologies such as 5G communications, new energy vehicles, and artificial intelligence has placed unprecedented demands on the performance of thermal management materials. These materials are required to be highly thermally conductive yet electrically insulating, lightweight yet high-temperature resistant, and to combine outstanding performance with controllable costs. Among many candidate materials, […]
Why the Breakthrough of New Energy Carbon Materials Cannot Be Achieved Without “Grinding and Pulverization Methods”
In the rapid wave of new energy technology development, carbon materials are like a group of highly skilled martial arts heroes. They shine brilliantly in lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and hydrogen storage. With their unique conductivity, chemical stability, and high specific surface area, they have become the core “weapons” driving the performance […]
Which Powders Need Modification and Why?
1. Which Powders Require Modification? 2. Why Modify Powders? Inorganic powders are hydrophilic and highly polar. They have poor compatibility with organic matrices such as plastics, rubber, and resins. Direct usage may lead to degraded performance. Therefore, modification is necessary. Summary: Modification enables powders to disperse better, have higher compatibility, stronger bonding, higher filler loading, […]
