Through advanced engineering including frequency-conversion control and an efficient vertical turbine powder classifier, this mill achieves one-time finished products with D97≤5μm precision. The heavy rotor design and special material composition for rollers and rings extend component life significantly, addressing the common industry challenge of rapid wear in ultra-fine grinding applications.
Energy efficiency remains a standout feature, with the SCM Ultrafine Mill consuming 30% less energy than jet mills while delivering more than double the output capacity. The double powder collection system combining powder collectors and pulse dust collectors ensures environmental compliance with dust collection efficiency far exceeding international standards.
LUM Ultrafine Vertical Mill: Advanced Technology for Specialty Applications
Building upon vertical mill principles while incorporating German powder separating technology and Taiwan's grinding roller innovations, the LUM Ultrafine Vertical Mill represents the pinnacle of SBM's engineering for medium and high-end processing. Specifically suited for plastic master batch, PVC, artificial stone, and non-woven fabrics industries, this mill features uniquely designed grinding curves that facilitate material bed formation, enhancing efficiency and increasing the proportion of finished products from primary grinding.
The multi-rotor powder classifiers enable customized fineness ranges without low-grade material contamination, while the PLC/DCS automatic control system ensures precise management of grinding pressure, disc rotation speed, and classifier velocity. This intelligent control framework allows for remote operation and stable performance across varied material types.
Ball Mill: Optimized Traditional Technology
While newer technologies often dominate discussions of ultra-fine grinding, optimized ball mills remain relevant for specific applications, particularly in mineral dressing operations. SBM's enhanced ball mill designs address historical limitations through improved structural engineering and advanced materials that reduce wear part costs. The availability of both dry and wet configurations provides flexibility for different processing requirements, with output sizes ranging from 0.2 to 0.074mm.
Selecting the Appropriate Mill for 600+ Mesh Applications
Choosing the right milling equipment for ultra-fine powder production requires careful consideration of multiple factors, including feed size, capacity requirements, energy efficiency goals, and environmental compliance needs. For fineness exceeding 600 mesh, the SCM Ultrafine Mill and LUM Ultrafine Vertical Mill typically offer the most targeted solutions, with the former excelling in highest fineness applications and the latter providing superior efficiency in specialized industrial sectors.
The integration of intelligent control systems across SBM's product line represents a significant advancement, allowing operators to maintain precise control over grinding parameters while reducing manual intervention. This technological evolution addresses one of the most persistent challenges in powder processing: maintaining consistent quality while optimizing operational costs.
