INTRODUCTION:
The word “ CRYOGENICS’ originates from the Greek word “cryo ”, which means creation
(or) production by means of cold.
It deals with low temperatures as low as below −150 °C or 123 K to absolute zero.
Cryogenic Grinding technology can efficiently grind most tough materials & can also
facilitate Cryogenic recycling of tough composite materials & multi component scrap.
The function of the cryogenic precooler is to remove the heat from the material before it
enters the grinder.
It consists of a screw conveyor assembly, an air
compressor, a liquid nitrogen (LN2) dewar , a power
transmission arrangement and control panels.
The ground powder was collected in the collector pan from an outlet
and the nitrogen vapour let out.
WORKING PROCESS FLOW CHART OF CRYOGENIC GRINDING :
Cleaning of material
Packing of Spices
CRYOGENIC GRINDING VIDEO:
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND CRYOGENIC GRINDING SYSTEM:
• The heat is developed inside the grinding • Temperature below 0oC inside the grinding
mill mill
• This in turn can lead to the grinding • Not in Cryogenic process
elements become greasy (oily) and even
harms the machine by blocking it.
DE-MERITS:
High operation cost.
Maintenance cost is above the range.
Filtering of Screw Conveyer is Difficult.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION:
Cryo Grinding of Steel;
The large amount of Heat is generated
during machining/grinding at high speed &
feed rate raises the temperature at the THERMOSETS
cutting zones excessively.
To overcome this problem liquid Nitrogen is
fed to the grinding spot.
Explosives;
To grind the explosive materials(TNT)
below their Ignition Temperature. SPICES
Spices;
To overcome the volatility of Etheric Oils
(gives the taste & smell of spices).
CONCLUSION:
Cryogenic grinding technology can efficiently grind most tough
materials and can also facilitate Cryogenic recycling of tough
composite materials.
