Abstract:
A method for continuous aeraulic separation of particulate materials consisting of a mixture of particles that is heterogeneous in both particle size and density is provided. The method includes grinding particles of materials, generating a gas stream conveying the ground particles, first aeraulic separation on the gas stream in order to separate the particles it contains into a first fraction consisting of the coarsest particles with variable densities and a second fraction consisting of the finest particles. A second aeraulic separation is performed on the first fraction in order to separate the particles that it contains into a third fraction consisting of the coarsest and/or most dense particles and a fourth fraction consisting of the least coarse and/or the least dense particles. A re-injecting of the third fraction or the fourth fraction at the inlet of the grinding is performed while simultaneous recovery of the second fraction as well as the fourth fraction or the third fraction, respectively, as output products.
Abstract:
Methods for preparing and compositions including untreated and surface-treated alkaline earth metal carbonate particulates are described. For example, a method for processing alkaline earth metal carbonate may include introducing alkaline earth metal carbonate into a stirred media mill, and dry grinding the alkaline earth metal carbonate in the stirred media mill to produce an untreated alkaline earth metal carbonate particulate having certain characteristics. In some examples, the method may include introducing carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid salt into the stirred media mill, and dry grinding the alkaline earth metal carbonate and the carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid salt in an integrated dry grinding and surface-treating process in the stirred media mill to produce a surface-treated alkaline earth metal carbonate particulate. In some examples, heating may be added during the dry grinding process.
Abstract:
A processing plant includes a screen unit for screening out processing material, which can be routed to the screen unit from a crusher unit. The screen unit includes at least one screen deck and a discharge area via which the processing material exits the screen unit. A transfer belt located in a working position is disposed in the discharge area to receive processing material from the screen unit. To simplify maintenance the transfer belt is movable in a direction from the working position to a maintenance position wherein the transfer belt is at least partially moved out of the discharge area. A lifting device supports the transfer belt in the maintenance position by a hoist.

Abstract:
The Invention relates to a process for the milling of vegetable-based material, in particular plants like seeds, to produce dehulled or/and fractionate flour that includes a Material Bed Compression milling of the vegetable-based material. A first air classification of the milled material is performed to obtain a first fine fraction on one side and a first coarse fraction on the other side. A first post-treatment to the first fine fraction is then performed to obtain separate flour. The first coarse fraction is then recycled to the milling step.

A fluid treatment apparatus is described. The fluid treatment apparatus includes: (i) a pulverizer designed to pulverize solids present in a fluid flow to produce pulverized solids admixed with the fluid flow; (ii) a rotatable shaft for rotating the pulverized solids and the fluid flow; (iii) a restrictor or filter for retaining a first portion of the pulverized solids, and allowing a second portion of pulverized solids and a second portion of the fluid flow to pass therethrough; and (iv) a first recirculating line configured to receive the first portion of the pulverized solids and a first portion of the fluid flow that did not pass through the restrictor or the filter.
Abstract:
Classifier (10, 100, 200) which is configured to classify air-entrained, crushed particulate material received from a pulverizer into a fine fraction which is expelled from the classifier (10) and a coarse fraction which is returned to the pulverizer for further crushing. The classifier (10) includes a plurality of adjustable inlet blades (37) which are arranged partially above an inlet (20) leading into a classification zone (19), an angle of the blades (37) being adjustable through manipulation of a blade adjustment mechanism (39) in order to optimize particle flow conditions inside the classifier (10). Furthermore, the classifier (10) includes a plurality of inclined pre-swirl vanes (47) which are disposed below the inlet blades (37), each vane (47) having a curved body. The classifier (100) includes a part conical member (102) which is suspended below an operatively upper exit (31) leading from the classification zone (19).
Abstract:
A mill includes a housing with a first end portion, a second end portion, and a lateral area disposed therebetween. The housing includes a raw material inlet, an air inlet, a recirculated material inlet, and a material outlet. An impeller is supported by the housing and includes a shaft disposed along the longitudinal axis of the housing, with a plurality of curved blades. A method for milling includes receiving a material of a first size range, introducing the material to an apparatus via a first inlet and introducing air into the apparatus via a second inlet. The method also includes agitating the material via an impeller, where the agitation reduces at least some of the material to a second size range by the time the material reaches an outlet of the apparatus. The processed material is delivered to subsequent processing operations.

A mineral composition comprising mineral particles, said mineral particles, when in a densely compacted bed form, having a volume defined median pore diameter from 0.01 to 0.04 micrometre, and having an intruded total specific void volume of 0.1-0.3 cm3/g. A specific advantage of this composition is that it as a component in a coating, allows the passage of ink solvent into the base paper while retaining the ink molecules on the surface.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a machining process for iron sand particle modification, iron sand particles and a grinding panel of a crusher, the process comprising the following steps: preliminary screening particle sizes; feeding the preliminarily screened iron sand particles into the cavity of the crusher, so that the iron sand particles pile up in the crusher cavity; the crusher is driven by a motor to conduct secondary grinding and crushing of the iron sand particles; the grinding panel of the crusher stirs the iron sand particles piled up in the crusher cavity to generate and maintain corresponding extruding pressure between the iron sand particles, resulting in self-grinding between the iron sand particles stirred by the grinding panel, thereby changing the specific gravity, shapes, and surface microstructures of the iron sand particles.
