Molinos de bolas de alta energía

High energy input significantly enhances grinding efficiency, leading to finer and more homogeneous particle size distributions. This is crucial in applications where the quality of the final product relies on its particle size and distribution. In challenging applications like mechanochemistry, the energy input, along with the action mode, temperature, ball mill size, and mixing effects, can influence the reaction outcome. To facilitate experiments across a spectrum of speeds, from moderate to high energy, four RETSCH models are particularly noteworthy: PM 300, Emax, MM 500 nano, and MM 500 vario. The acceleration these mills can achieve depends on the sun wheel size and maximum speed (planetary ball mills) or amplitude and frequency (mixer mills).

El molino de bolas de alta energía Emax, el más potente de la gama RETSCH, alcanza el mayor aporte de energía con velocidades de hasta 2.000 rpm, lo que se traduce en una aceleración de 76 g. En combinación con el principio de funcionamiento único y el diseño del recipiente de molienda, se consigue una distribución granulométrica excepcionalmente estrecha, tiempos de molienda y reacción cortos y partículas ultrafinas. Además, los movimientos de las bolas con impacto y fricción simultáneos mejoran la mezcla de la muestra.

El molino planetario de bolas PM 300 tiene una gran rueda principal y una velocidad máxima de 800 rpm, alcanzando aceleraciones de hasta 64,4 g. Junto con la opción de utilizar cuatro pequeños recipientes de molienda apilables con un tamaño de 12 a 80 ml para aplicaciones de laboratorio o dos recipientes con un tamaño de hasta 500 ml para aplicaciones a mayor escala, este molino planetario de bolas es ideal para aplicaciones de investigación en la mecanoquímica.

El modelo PM 400 con cuatro estaciones de molienda está disponible con una relación de velocidad de 1:-2,5 y 1:-3, lo que se traduce en un elevado aporte de energía favorable para las aplicaciones mecanoquímicas.

Los molinos mezcladores MM 500 nano y MM 500 vario funcionan a una elevada frecuencia máxima de 35 Hz, lo que produce una aceleración significativa. De este modo se acorta el proceso de molienda, se mejora el grado de molienda y se aumenta el aporte de energía para las reacciones mecanoquímicas.

Molinos de bolas de alta energía - FAQ

Why is a high energy input required?

A high energy input is beneficial for mechanochemical applications as it helps to increase the yield; for very hard samples to crush them more efficiently; for research in general as it provides more options to try out different settings.

Is it always beneficial to work at maximum speed to increase the energy input?

No, it strongly depends on the sample material and application whether a very high energy input is beneficial. For some materials it may lead to undesired caking effects due to the sample getting warm. A warming effect also needs to be avoided for temperature-sensitive materials.

Is cooling required for high energy ball mills?

Yes, cooling helps to compensate the warming effects. Another option is working with cooling breaks.
