WEAR-RESISTANT ROTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042454 titled 'WEAR-RESISTANT ROTOR

Simplified Explanation

The invention is a rotor for an agitating mill, which is a device used for milling and grinding materials. The rotor has a cylindrical body with an outer wall that defines the inner surface of a milling chamber. The feed material to be treated flows through this chamber during the operation of the mill. At the end of the rotor body, opposite the product inlet of the mill, a ceramic ring is arranged.

  • The rotor is designed to be used in an agitating mill for producing dispersions.
  • The ceramic ring at the rotor end helps in the milling and treatment of the feed material.
  • The invention also includes an agitating mill that incorporates this rotor.
  • The rotor can be used in various applications where milling and grinding of materials is required.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Pharmaceutical industry: The rotor can be used in the production of pharmaceutical dispersions, where milling and treatment of active ingredients are necessary.
  • Chemical industry: The rotor can be utilized in the production of chemical dispersions, such as pigments, dyes, and coatings.
  • Food industry: The rotor can be employed in the production of food dispersions, such as sauces, dressings, and emulsions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved milling efficiency: The rotor design allows for better dispersion and treatment of the feed material, resulting in more efficient milling and grinding processes.
  • Enhanced product quality: The use of a ceramic ring at the rotor end helps in achieving finer particle sizes and better homogeneity in the dispersions produced.
  • Reduced wear and tear: The ceramic material of the ring provides increased durability and resistance to abrasion, leading to longer lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased productivity: The improved milling efficiency and product quality contribute to higher production rates and better overall performance of the agitating mill.
  • Cost savings: The longer lifespan and reduced maintenance needs of the rotor result in cost savings for the mill operators.
  • Versatility: The rotor can be used in various industries and applications, making it a versatile solution for milling and grinding processes.
