Milling Concerns - Comminution Monitoring

Comminution is a fundamental unit operation, where sub-optimal set-up can cause a multitude of operational problems and difficulties in downstream processing. Optimal set-up and real-time monitoring of particle size during comminution can lead to significant process gains. Real-time control, improved energy efficiency and enhanced final grade product specification are all goals in optimizing the process. The following concerns apply to both wet and dry unit operations:

	High load on the grinding unit impacts throughput
	Lengthy start-up and shutdowns due to delays incurred using manual sampling and measurement
	Many grades of powder from the same feedstock requiring different process set points
	Clients require more precise specification of powders
	Labor-intensive manual control of process
	Poor batch-to-batch comparability
	Tightening the particle size distribution
