How To Adjust The Mesh Number Of The Colloid Mill?
Oct 29, 2024| 1. Definition of mesh number
The mesh number of the colloid mill refers to the distance between the rotor and the stator inside the colloid mill, usually expressed in numbers. The smaller the mesh number, the smaller the distance between the grinding grooves, the finer the particles are ground, but the friction between the grinding grooves will also increase, and the energy consumption will also increase.
2. Adjustment steps
1. Confirm the required mesh number: First, it is necessary to clarify the required mesh number. Generally speaking, the smaller the mesh number, the finer the grinding, but the energy consumption will also increase. The required mesh number can be determined according to the quality requirements and production capacity of the product.
| Name | Colloid mill |
| Application range | Peanut,hazelnut,soy bean milk,xanthan gum, fruits, vegetables,sesame,almond milk, |
| Stainless steel | SS304 or SS316L |
| Hopper size | 7Liter, 10Liter,20Liter,30Liter customized |
2. Open the colloid mill: Open the grinding disc, remove the grinding wheel, clean the inner wall of the grinding groove and the surface of the grinding wheel to ensure that there will be no impurities affecting the adjustment.
3. Adjust the mesh number: Gently turn the adjustment screw by hand to gradually reduce the distance between the grinding wheel and the grinding groove until the required mesh number position is reached.
4. Test: After the adjustment is completed, certain tests need to be performed. You can use samples for testing, and judge whether it needs to be adjusted again based on the test results.
III. Precautions
1. Before adjustment, you need to confirm whether there are impurities inside the colloid mill, otherwise it will affect the adjustment result.
2. Pay attention to the strength when adjusting, and do not over-tighten the adjustment screw to avoid damage.
3. After adjustment, you need to test to ensure that the quality meets the requirements.
4. Clean the colloid mill regularly to ensure the accuracy of the adjustment.
In short, the mesh adjustment of the colloid mill is a very important link and needs to be taken seriously. Only by adjusting the mesh correctly can product quality and production efficiency be guaranteed.
