In the field of powder engineering, milling technology directly affects particle size distribution, particle morphology, and production efficiency. As of 2025, the Moulin à jet d'air and the Mechanical Mill remain the two mainstream industrial systems. This article provides a systematic comparison in terms of working principles, energy efficiency, and particle size control.
Equipment Principles Comparison
Principe de fonctionnement : Compressed air (0.7–1.0 MPa) passes through a Laval nozzle to generate supersonic airflow, causing particles to collide and fracture (typical velocity 300–500 m/s).
Core Advantages:
No mechanical wear (suitable for materials with Mohs hardness ≥9)
Particle size can reach submicron levels (D50: 0.5–10 μm)
Low-temperature milling (outlet temperature <40℃)
Key Performance Indicators Comparison
| Paramètre | Moulin à jet d'air | Mechanical Mill |
| Minimum Taille des particules | 0.1 μm | 1 μm |
| Capacity Range | 0.1–3 t/h | 0.5–50 t/h |
| Specific Surface Area Increase | 300–500% | 100–200% |
| Noise Level | <75 dB | 85–110 dB |
| Maintenance Interval | 2000 h | 500 h |
Application Recommendations
Air Jet Mill is preferred for:
High value-added materials (e.g., lithium battery cathode materials, pharmaceutical APIs)
Heat-sensitive substances (e.g., enzymes, polymers)
Ultrafine powders (D90 <5 μm)
Mechanical Mill is preferred for:
Bulk mineral processing (e.g., carbonate de calcium, quartz sand)
Coarse grinding requirements (1 mm–100 μm)
Cost-sensitive projects (equipment investment is 3–5 times lower)
Conclusion
Air jet mills and mechanical mills each have their own advantages: For ultrafine, contamination-free, and precisely controlled powders, the air jet mill is the better choice. For cost-efficient large-scale milling, the mechanical mill is more practical.
