Ultra-fine grinding meets Italy - PMT at SOLIDS Parma 2023

PMT Powder Maker Group GmbH is one of the leading companies regarding dry grinding and classifying for ultra-fine particle sizes. At the toll grinding center in Kammern/Austria PMT Powder Processing GmbH offers the possiblity to grind and classify soft to middle hard minerals, chemical and natural products. To meet the industry’s need for high aspect ratios at extremely fine particle sizes, PMT developed the PMT spiral jetmill - in order to micronize materials down to particle sizes below 1 micron top cut.

EEU-System reduces specific energy consumption of dry ultrafine grinding. Today functional fillers are confronted with steadily increasing requirements. Applications, e.g., in in polymer industry, used to be satisfied with extender fillers, which cheapened the compound. During the last decade the material profile has changed from pure volume filler to functional additives and fillers. But that is not good enough by half. Striving for sustainable ways of production and low carbon footprint begins in raw material processing and sets new standards. Modern spiral jet mills are the state of the art in the micronization of highly lamellar fillers. With their specific type of comminution based on shear forces, the particle shape significant for the downstream applications - whether in flake or needle form - can be preserved or even improved. With the development of the EEU (Enhanced Energy Utilization) system, the proven PMT spiral jet mill could be improved substantially in order to meet the ecological responsibility as well. Using functional

The Spiral Type Jetmill of PMT-Jetmill is specialized in optimizing air streams in combination with a so-called rotor-motor-unit. This combined “rotor-motor-unit” (RMU), built with the highest precision, is the heart of the PMT spiral jetmill. It grants a high operating security, low energy consumption and finest products of PMT’s Jetmills. The results from aerodynamic research work were implemented into a patented rotor wheel geometry and in a mechanical concept to achieve circumferential speeds of up to 190 m/s. When used in jetmills with internal fine grinding and classifying circuit, products with a fineness even below 1 µm top cut can be produced. This fineness can be achieved even in industrial scale machines and high content recovery classifiers. The rotor unit is directly combined with a high-speed motor unit with the advantage of maintenance-free high-speed bearings.

Classifying of finest powders at high recovery rate. Optimum dispersion because of positive pressure condition. PMT-Jetmill has developed the Jet-Classifier JS operating in positive pressure condition. Based on this special operation these classifiers have the finest range of products in high content recovery. This can also be achieved on an industrial scale. All types of powders Classifying means separation in a coarse and a fine fraction. Basically all types of powdery raw materials can be processed. Caused by strong agglomerates due to high surface forces, common classifying systems achieve only low classifying efficiency. The PMT Jet-classifier JS operates under positive pressure in order to optimize dispersion of the feed material based on high shear forces. The first positive pressure classifier for the submicron range leads to high content recovery even in the finest cut-point range. The use of the Rotor-Motor-Unit enables final product cut-points in the low micrometer and even submicron range. Benefits: * operation in positive pressure condition * improved

Smooth grinding of soft to middle hard materials with spiral jet mills in toll grinding center Kammern. PMT Powder Maker Group GmbH is specialized in dry grinding and classifying of ultra-fine particles. Grindability depends on material structure and type. Our spiral jetmill grinds soft to middle hard materials (Mohshardness 1-6) in a smooth way. Ductile and elastic materials can be dispersed and deagglomerated if applicable, but not ground. Grindable materials cover industrial minerals (like Zeolite, Clay, Barite, Mica, Kaolin, Talc, Bentonite) and chemical products (like Petrol coke, pigments, melamin, glass) and natural products (like alga, seed, egg shells or cocoa). Grindability details are determined in a grinding trial with which achievable particle sizes, capacities and specific energy consumptions are found.

In our toll grinding center in Kammern, Austria we provide toll processing of minerals, including fine grinding, classifying, re-packaging, etc. > Extension of product range > Bridge production bottlenecks > Highest product quality > Exact overview of costs > No investment costs > No operating costs > Calculable market launch of new products > High flexibility
