No matter what kind of powder machinery and equipment is used, cleaning is always indispensable. The planetary ball mill has the characteristics of high efficiency, low energy consumption, small footprint, and convenient operation, but sometimes it needs to be cleaned after grinding.
The cleaning of the planetary ball mill mainly refers to the cleaning of the planetary ball mill tank and the grinding ball. During the grinding process, the material only touches the two parts of the planetary ball mill. According to the characteristics of the material, the degree of difficulty of cleaning is different. Now let's briefly introduce several cleaning methods.
It can be cleaned simply with detergent, use washing powder or detergent and water ball mill, wash several times or soak for a period of time and then use a brush; cleaning with solvent depends on the material of the ball mill tank and the characteristics of the grinding material, which can be used Solvents include alcohol, hydrochloric acid, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc. The cleaning method is also ball milling for tens of minutes, and finally cleaning with alcohol and then drying; ultrasonic cleaning is a more convenient way.
Some materials can't be cleaned with only one method after grinding, and it is best to use multiple methods in combination. Add sand, glass or solvent ball mill according to the material of the ball mill tank. After the ball mill, it is ultrasonically cleaned and then dried with an alcohol ball mill. It should be noted that when cleaning the ball mill, the rotation speed of the planetary ball mill should not be too fast.
