Understanding Dry Grinding: Key in Material Size Reduction

If you’re looking for a way to reduce the size of your materials, you may have come across the terms wet grinding and dry grinding. These are two different methods of milling that have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Depending on the material you’re processing and the application of how you plan to use this material, dry grinding may be the best option for your needs. When you work with Economy Ball Mill, you can trust that our team will be able to help you find the perfect ball mill as a solution for your materials processing needs.

Read on as we discuss the dry grinding process and how it differs from wet grinding:

Wet Grinding vs. Dry Grinding

Wet grinding is a process that involves dispersing the raw material in a liquid and circulating it through a grinding chamber. The particles are crushed by the grinding media, which are usually small balls or beads made of ceramic, metal, or other materials.

Wet grinding can achieve very fine particle sizes but requires more energy, time, and equipment than dry grinding. Wet grinding also produces waste liquid that needs to be disposed of or recycled.

Dry grinding, on the other hand, is a more straightforward process that uses particle-on-particle impacts to reduce the size of the material. The raw material travels within a contained area and either collides with other particles or strikes against machine components, such as rotors or blades.

Dry grinding can be done in a single pass or in multiple passes, depending on the desired fineness of your finished material. Dry grinding requires no liquid, meaning less waste, lower costs, and easier maintenance.

Benefits Of Dry Grinding

Dry grinding has many benefits over wet grinding, especially for certain applications and industries.

Some of the benefits of dry grinding are:

• It can handle heat-sensitive materials that degrade or change properties in wet conditions.
• It can produce uniform and consistent particle sizes and shapes, improving the final product's performance and quality.
• There aren’t as many contamination risks since no liquid carries impurities or bacteria.
• It can save energy and water resources because there is no need to heat, cool, or pump liquids.
• You’ll reduce the environmental impacts since there is no liquid waste to treat or dispose of.
