Industry Challenges

Producing ultrafine powders (D97≤5μm) presents multiple technical challenges: achieving uniform particle size distribution, minimizing energy consumption, reducing equipment wear, and meeting stringent environmental standards. Traditional grinding methods often fail to address these requirements comprehensively.

Core Technological Breakthroughs

1. High-Efficiency Grinding Mechanisms

Modern ultrafine mills employ multi-layer grinding principles combining centrifugal force and precision mechanical compression. The XZM Ultrafine Mill exemplifies this approach with its unique three-ring medium-speed micro-grinding structure:

  • Three-layer grinding ring design increases material residence time
  • Precision turbine classifiers achieve 325-2500 mesh (5-45μm) adjustment
  • Energy consumption 30% lower than jet mills
