How to Test the Production Capacity of a Micro Powder Grinding Mill

Testing the production capacity of a micro powder grinding mill is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and efficiency in industrial applications. This article provides a comprehensive guide on evaluating key parameters, methodologies, and best practices for accurate capacity assessment.

Key Testing Parameters
1. Feed Material Characteristics
  • Moisture content (should be <15% for most mills)
  • Hardness (Mohs scale measurement)
  • Input size distribution (typically ≤20mm for ultrafine mills)
2. Operational Parameters
Parameter Measurement Method Optimal Range
Grinding pressure Hydraulic sensor 8-12MPa
Classifier speed Digital tachometer 200-1500rpm
Airflow volume Anemometer 8000-25000m³/h
Recommended Testing Procedure
Phase 1: Baseline Establishment
  1. Conduct 3 test runs with standard reference material
  2. Record power consumption per ton output
  3. Establish D50/D97 particle size distribution curve
Phase 2: Capacity Verification

For optimal results, we recommend using our SCM Ultrafine Mill series which features:

  • Precision vertical turbine classifier (adjustable 325-2500 mesh)
  • Automatic pressure regulation system
  • Energy consumption monitoring interface
Data Analysis Methods
1. Production Rate Calculation

Formula: Q = (W × 3600)/(T × ρ)

Where:
Q = Production capacity (kg/h)
W = Sample weight (kg)
T = Collection time (s)
ρ = Material bulk density (kg/m³)

2. Energy Efficiency Evaluation

For comprehensive analysis, our MTW Series Trapezium Mill provides:

  • Integrated power monitoring system
  • Real-time kWh/ton display
  • Comparative data storage for 10 materials
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
Capacity drop Worn grinding components Replace roller/ring set
Oversize particles Classifier malfunction Adjust rotor speed +5%
Power surge Material overfeeding Reduce feed rate by 15%

Accurate capacity testing requires systematic methodology and proper equipment selection. Our SCM and MTW series mills incorporate advanced monitoring features that simplify this process while delivering industry-leading performance in the 0.5-45 ton/h range with D97 control from 5-325μm.
