FINELY GRINDING
Ball mills are essential equipment for achieving precise particle size reduction in material processing. In catalytic converter recycling, achieving the correct particle size is especially critical to ensure efficient chemical recovery. The primary function of the ball mill is to grind spent automotive catalytic converters into fine powder particles, typically ranging from 0.05 to 0.8 mm in diameter. This optimized particle size is key to maximizing metal recovery rates during leaching and other downstream chemical processes.
The working principle of ball mills is based on impact and attrition forces within a rotating grinding chamber. Grinding media, typically steel or ceramic balls, rotate along with the mill chamber, colliding with the input material and breaking it down through repeated contact. Key parameters affecting grinding efficiency include the feed particle size, ball size, mill rotation speed, and the nature of the grinding media. These variables collectively determine the intensity of the grinding force and the final particle size distribution, which is critical in processes like catalytic converter recycling where fine, uniform powders are required.
Its closed-system operation minimizes dust and environmental contamination risks. It is suitable for both dry and wet grinding processes and enables the production of nano-sized particles. With high efficiency and suitability for large-scale production, it is an ideal solution for industrial applications.
