MQL jet mill is a Fluidised Bed Opposed Jet Mill with a built-in vertical classifying wheel. After the high-pressure air is filtered and dried, it is sprayed into the grinding chamber through multiple Laval nozzles at high speed. The material is brought to the intersection point by multiple high-pressure airflows, and is crushed by repeated collision, friction, and shearing. The ground material is pumped by the fan. Under the action, it moves to the classification area with the upward airflow, and under the action of the strong centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating classifying wheel, the coarse and fine materials are separated. The fine particles that meet the particle size requirements enter the cyclone separator and dust collector through the gap between the classifying wheel, and the coarse particles are collected. Descend to the grinding area to continue grinding.
Fluidized Bed Opposed Air Jet Mill: After the compressed air is filtered and dried, it is sprayed into the grinding chamber at high speed through the Laval nozzle. At the intersection of multiple high-pressure airflows, the materials are repeatedly collided, rubbed, and sheared to be crushed. The crushed materials rise with the suction of the fan. The airflow moves to the classification zone. Under the action of the strong centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating classification turbine, the coarse and fine materials are separated. The fine particles that meet the particle size requirements enter the cyclone separator and dust collector through the classification wheel for collection, and the coarse particles descend to the crushing zone and continue to be crushed.

Note: The production capacity is closely related to the particle size, specific gravity, hardness, moisture and other indicators of the raw materials. The above is only for selection reference.
By working with a tolling partner’s technical team, you will gain efficiency. They will help choose the best mill type. They will also pick the right speed and feed rate. They will also cover any special project needs.
The team brings focused insights and extensive experience to the table. However, you should also expect to provide safety data sheets and answer a few questions, such as:
A jet mill is a type of ultrafine grinding equipment. It is a machine that uses a lot of energy. Therefore, the feed particle size of the air flow mill should be as fine as possible. It is recommended that the feed particle size be less than 80 mesh. Under normal circumstances, the feed particle size needs to be less than 1 mm.
Jet milling usually makes particles that are 1 to 10 microns in size. This is referred to as micronization.
Some product formulations require particles as small as 200 nanometers. The material's properties determine how small these sizes can be. You can make them smaller by increasing the mill's power. Additionally, by increasing the time the material spends in the milling chamber.
Some products require particles larger than 10 microns. This can be achieved by reducing the power to the mill or increasing the feed rate to the equipment.
In both circular and fluidized bed mills, jets of air or steam are made by gas. The gas is compressed to a gauge pressure of 50 to 120 psig. The most common gas used is commercially compressed air.
Superheated steam (392–980°F) is compressed to 100–220 psig. It can also be used on raw feed materials that are not heat-sensitive. Some of the other gases used include:
Nitrogen, which can protect materials from oxidation and/or fire
Argon, another inert option, though more expensive than nitrogen
Helium, used to achieve higher-velocity impact between particles
A great deal of energy is needed to create enough momentum to cause particles to break on impact. The compressor and nozzles turn high air pressure into energy. They do this within the mill. Large particles recirculate, and multiple high-velocity collisions progressively reduce their mass.
