Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally and more particularly to a dry milling mill for a dry ice blasting apparatus having first and second media.
- Dry ice pellets which consist of compressed CO2-Schnce, are accelerated with compressed air and in very cold condition (-78.5 ° C) are thrown against the surfaces to be cleaned.
- the cleaning effect is based on three principles: on the one hand on the mechanical action of dry ice solids (similar to glass beads or sandblasting); continue to assure that the supercooled dry ice ejectors cause a cold shock on impact, causing the substrate to be removed from embrittlement and making it easier to remove; and finally that fine cracks and cracks form on cooling, into which fine particles of dry ice penetrate, where they sublime abruptly (ie change into the gaseous state), thereby greatly expanding in the cracks, thus enlarging the cracks and the particles to be removed thereby detach from the surface to be cleaned.
- the actual blasting material namely the dry ice, evaporates completely during this process and escapes into the atmosphere. Dry ice blasting therefore does not give rise to any residues except for the detached particles.
- dry ice pellets used with starting grain sizes of approx. 3 mm are not suitable for all cleaning tasks. There are cleaning tasks where smaller particle sizes are desired.
- the object is to provide an improved dry ice mill, in which these disadvantages are at least partially eliminated.
- the object is to provide a dry ice blasting device in which the dry ice losses are as small as possible and the particle size and geometry as well as the blasting speed are optimally tuned to the cleaning task to be carried out.
- the present disclosure is a dry ice mill for a dry ice blasting device with a first and a second grinding media, wherein the first grinding body has a rotationally symmetric outer effective surface and the second grinding body has a rotationally symmetrical inner surface, each acting as Mahl lake, the grinding media each with its outer effective surface and their inner active surface facing each other coaxially and mutually rotatable about an axis of rotation are arranged so that between outer active surface and inner active surface, an annular Mahlspalt is formed, in which when turning the grinding body against each otherdeeismahlgut passes and is ground there.

- the actual grinding process takes place decisively in the region of the minimized annular gap, ie only in the very narrow constriction.
- the material to be ground is crushed very gently and sublimation losses are minimized.

- the liberated during grinding CO2 gas can thus form additional usable gas volume in the conveying gas flow, which can additionally increase the impact energy of the blasting material.
- the grinding media supply and the blasting material removal as well as the passage through the actual grinding mechanism and through the grinding gap can be made particularly streamlined by the grinding bodies arranged concentrically in one another. In this way, u.a. Flow and pressure losses are reduced in the promotion of grinding / blasting.

- the grinding stock comminuted there to the blasting material After passing through the grinding gap, the grinding stock comminuted there to the blasting material again exits into an area widening out of the annular gap, can expand there and does not clump together. Finally, the blasting material is then converged again in the direction of the narrow conical mouth together with a compressed air / Strahlgutstrahl and exits at an increased speed.
- the torically formed region merges into a conical region which forms one end of the first grinding body and projects into the frusto-conical cavity in the second grinding body.

Description
Die vorliegende Offenbarung bezieht sich allgemein und insbesondere auf ein Trockencismahlwerk für eine Trockeneisstrahlvorrichtung mit einem ersten und zweiten Mahlkörper.The present disclosure relates generally and more particularly to a dry milling mill for a dry ice blasting apparatus having first and second media.
Es sind allgemein Trockencisstrahlvocrichtungen bekannt, bei denen die Eigenschaften von Trockeneis genutzt werden. Trockeneispellets, die aus zusammengepresstem CO2-Schnce bestehen, werden mit Druckluft beschleunigt und in sehr kaltem Zustand (-78,5°C) gegen die zu reinigenden Flächen geschleudert.It is generally known Trockencisstrahlvocrichtungen in which the properties of dry ice are used. Dry ice pellets, which consist of compressed CO2-Schnce, are accelerated with compressed air and in very cold condition (-78.5 ° C) are thrown against the surfaces to be cleaned.
Der Reinigungseffekt beruht auf drei Prinzipien: zum einen auf der mechanischen Wirkung der Trockeneisfestkörper (ähnlich Glasperlen oder Sandstrahlen); weiter darauf, dass die unterkühlten Trockeneispellers beim Aufprall einen reinigenden Kälteschock auslösen, bei dem das abzutragende Substrat versprödet und dessen Abtrag erleichtert wird; und schließlich darauf, dass sich beim Abkühlen feine Risse und Ritzen bilden, in die feine Trockcneispartikel eindringen, dort schlagartig sublirnieren(d. h. gehen in den gasförmigen Zustand über), sich dabei in den Ritzen stark ausdehnen und so die Ritzen vergrößern und die zu entfernenden Partikel dabei von der zu reinigenden Fläche ablösen.The cleaning effect is based on three principles: on the one hand on the mechanical action of dry ice solids (similar to glass beads or sandblasting); continue to insist that the supercooled dry ice ejectors cause a cold shock on impact, causing the substrate to be removed from embrittlement and making it easier to remove; and finally that fine cracks and cracks form on cooling, into which fine particles of dry ice penetrate, where they sublime abruptly (ie change into the gaseous state), thereby greatly expanding in the cracks, thus enlarging the cracks and the particles to be removed thereby detach from the surface to be cleaned.
Das eigentliche Strahlgut, nämlich das Trockeneis, verdampft bei diesem Vorgang vollständig und entweicht in die Atmosphäre. Es entstehen beim Trockeneisstrahlen daher keinerlei Rückstände außer den abgelösten Partikeln.The actual blasting material, namely the dry ice, evaporates completely during this process and escapes into the atmosphere. Dry ice blasting therefore does not give rise to any residues except for the detached particles.
Die verwendeten Trockeneispellets mit Ausgangskorngrößen von ca. 3 mm sind jedoch nicht für alle Reinigungsaufgaben geeignet. Es gibt Reinigungsaufgaben, bei denen kleinere Partikelgrößen gewünscht sind.However, the dry ice pellets used with starting grain sizes of approx. 3 mm are not suitable for all cleaning tasks. There are cleaning tasks where smaller particle sizes are desired.
Um Trockeneispartikel mit geringeren Korngrößen zu erhalten, gibt es Strahlvorrichtungen mit Walzcnmahlwerken, bei denen die Pellets in einem Brechspalt zwischen gegenläufigen Walzen und einer Brechleiste zerkleinert werden (siehe zum Beispiel
Beim Zermahlen in einer offenen Kammer können hier vergleichsweise hohe Strahlgut(Trockeneis)-Verluste auftreten, da beim Zerkleinern ein Teil des Trockeneises sublimiert und verloren geht. Auch sind bei solchen Walzenmahlwerken mehrere abgedichtete Lager (pro Walze zwei) erforderlich, um den Mahlvorgang auch in einer geschlossenen Kammer zu ermöglichen wenn das Strahlgut mit Hilfe eines Förderfluids (z.B. Druckluft) durch die Mahlvorrichtung gefördert werden soll.When grinding in an open chamber, comparatively high blasting material (dry ice) losses can occur here, since during comminution a part of the dry ice is sublimated and lost. Also, in such roll mills, a plurality of sealed bearings (two per roll) are required to enable grinding also in a closed chamber when the blasting material is to be conveyed through the milling device by means of a conveying fluid (e.g., compressed air).
Es besteht also die Aufgabe, ein verbessertes Trockeneismahlwerk zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der diese Nachteile wenigstens teilweise ausgeräumt sind. Insbesondere besteht die Aufgabe, eine Trockeneisstrahlvorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der die Trockeneisverluste möglichst gering sind und die Partikelgröße und Geometrie sowie die Strahlgeschwindigkeit möglichst optimal auf die durchzuführende Reinigungsaufgabe abstimmbar sind.It is therefore the object to provide an improved dry ice mill, in which these disadvantages are at least partially eliminated. In particular, the object is to provide a dry ice blasting device in which the dry ice losses are as small as possible and the particle size and geometry as well as the blasting speed are optimally tuned to the cleaning task to be carried out.
Diese Aufgabe erfüllt das Trockeneismahlwerk gemäß Anspruch 1 sowie die Trockeneisstrahlvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 13.This object is achieved by the dry ice mill according to claim 1 and the dry ice blasting apparatus according to
Nach einem ersten Aspekt stellt die vorliegende Offenbarung ein Trockeneismahlwerk für eine Trockeneisstrahlvorrichtung mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Mahlkörper dar, wobei der erste Mahlkörper eine rotationssymmetrische Außenwirkfläche und der zweite Mahlkörper eine rotationssymmetrische Innenfläche aufweist, die jeweils als Mahlflächen wirken, die Mahlkörper jeweils mit ihrer Außenwirkfläche und ihrer Innenwirkfläche einander zugewandt koaxial und gegeneinander um eine Rotationsachse verdrehbar angeordnet sind, so dass zwischen Außenwirkfläche und Innenwirkfläche ein ringförmiger Mahlspalt ausgebildet ist, in den beim Verdrehen der Mahlkörper gegeneinander Trockeneismahlgut gelangt und dort zerrieben wird. Dabei ist ein Konturverlauf der Außenwirkfläche entlang der Rotationsachse durch eine erste Konturlinie und ein Konturverlauf der Innenwirkfläche entlang der Rotationsachse durch eine zweite Konturlinie definiert. Dabei sind die Konturlinien so gestaltet, dass bei minimiertem ("minimiert" bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Weite des Ringspaltes gleich null wird, also Innenwirkfläche und Außenwirkfläche einander berühren) Ringspalt die Innenwirkfläche und die Außenwirkfläche einander entlang einer ringförmigen Linie berühren - der Ringspalt also sehr schmal ist. Bei so einer Ausführung ist sichergestellt, dass der eigentliche Mahlvorgang maßgeblich im Bereich des minimierten Ringspaltes, also nur in der sehr schmalen Engstelle, stattfindet. Damit wird das Mahlgut sehr schonend zerkleinert und Sublimationsverluste werden minimiert.According to a first aspect, the present disclosure is a dry ice mill for a dry ice blasting device with a first and a second grinding media, wherein the first grinding body has a rotationally symmetric outer effective surface and the second grinding body has a rotationally symmetrical inner surface, each acting as Mahlflächen, the grinding media each with its outer effective surface and their inner active surface facing each other coaxially and mutually rotatable about an axis of rotation are arranged so that between outer active surface and inner active surface, an annular Mahlspalt is formed, in which when turning the grinding body against each other Trockeneismahlgut passes and is ground there. In this case, a contour profile of the outer active surface along the axis of rotation is defined by a first contour line and a contour profile of the inner active surface along the axis of rotation by a second contour line. In this case, the contour lines are designed so that at minimized ("minimized" means in this context that the width of the annular gap is zero, so inner effective surface and outer effective surface touching each other) annular gap the inner effective surface and the outer effective surface touching each other along an annular line - the annular gap so very narrow. In such an embodiment, it is ensured that the actual grinding process takes place decisively in the region of the minimized annular gap, ie only in the very narrow constriction. Thus, the material to be ground is crushed very gently and sublimation losses are minimized.
Mit so einem Mahlwerk lässt sich der Mahlvorgang einfacher in einer geschlossenen Kammer realisieren und damit der Druckluftbedarf zur Förderung des Strahlguts reduzieren, da der zweite Mahlkörper mit seiner Innenwirkfläche einen Teil einer geschlossenen Mahlkammer bilden kann. Das beim Zermahlen freiwerdende CO2-Gas kann so zusätzlich nutzbares Gasvolumen im Fördergasstrom bilden, welches die Aufprallenergie des Strahlgutes zusätzlich erhöhen kann. Durch die konzentrisch ineinander angeordneten Mahlkörper kann die Mahlgutzufuhr und die Strahlgutabfuhr sowie der Durchgang durch das eigentliche Mahlwerk und durch den Mahlspalt besonders strömungsgünstig gestaltet werden. Auf diese Weise können u.a. Strömungs- und Druckverluste bei der Förderung des Mahl-/Strahlgutes verringert werden.With such a grinder, the grinding process can be more easily implemented in a closed chamber and thus reduce the compressed air demand for conveying the blasting material, since the second grinding body with its inner active surface can form part of a closed grinding chamber. The liberated during grinding CO2 gas can thus form additional usable gas volume in the conveying gas flow, which can additionally increase the impact energy of the blasting material. The grinding media supply and the blasting material removal as well as the passage through the actual grinding mechanism and through the grinding gap can be made particularly streamlined by the grinding bodies arranged concentrically in one another. In this way, u.a. Flow and pressure losses are reduced in the promotion of grinding / blasting.
Das Mahlgut wird in Förderrichtung durch den Ringspalt entlang der Rotationsachse geführt. Dabei wird das Mahlgut zunächst in den sich verengenden Ringspalt gedrückt, wo es zerkleinert wird. Die zerkleinerten Partikel gelangen dann sofort aus dem (engen und schmalen) Ringspaltbereich in einen sich erweiternden Bereich und werden dort weiter geführt. Die Förderwirkung erfolgt zum einen durch den Gasstrom entlang der Rotationssachse sowie durch die Bewegung der Mahlkörper zueinander bzw. durch die Relativbewegung der Innenwirkfläche zur Außenwirkfläche.The material to be ground is guided in the conveying direction through the annular gap along the axis of rotation. The ground material is first pressed into the narrowing annular gap, where it is crushed. The comminuted particles then pass immediately from the (narrow and narrow) annular gap area into a widening area and continue there. The conveying effect takes place on the one hand by the gas flow along the rotation axis and by the movement of the grinding bodies relative to each other or by the relative movement of the inner active surface to the outer effective surface.

Vor einer detaillierten Beschreibung der Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf
Bei einer Ausführung ist dabei die Innenwirkfläche frusto-konisch (kegelstumpfförmig) ausgebildet und die Außenwirkfläche ist im Bereich des Ringspaltes mit einem torisch gewölbten Bereich (ähnlich der Außenwölbung im Gürtelbereich eines Rettungsringes) versehen. Diese Gestaltung hat mehrere Vorteile. Geht man von einer Förderrichtung durch den zweiten Mahlkörper entlang seiner frusto-konischen Innenwirkfläche aus, bei der das Mahl-/Strahlgut vom weiten Ende des Kegelstumpfes entlang der Rotationsachse zum engeren Ende des Kegelstumpfes gefördert wird, so wird zunächst das ungebrochene Mahlgut durch die aufeinander zulaufenden Flächenbereiche der Innenwirkfläche und der Außenwirkfläche in den Mahlspalt (Ringspalt) hinein verdichtet. Nach dem Passieren des Mahlspaltes tritt das dort zum Strahlgut zerkleinerte Mahlgut wieder in einen sich aus dem Ringspalt heraus erweiternden Bereich aus, kann sich dort ausdehnen und verklumpt nicht. Schließlich wird das Strahlgut dann wieder in Richtung enger Konusmündung zusammen mit einem Druckluft-/Strahlgutstrahl konvergiert und tritt mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit aus.In one embodiment, the inner active surface frusto-conical (frusto-conical) is formed and the outer effective surface is provided in the region of the annular gap with a toroidal curved area (similar to the outer curvature in the belt area of a lifebuoy). This design has several advantages. Assuming a conveying direction through the second grinding body along its frusto-conical inner active surface, in which the grinding / blasting material is conveyed from the wide end of the truncated cone along the axis of rotation to the narrower end of the truncated cone, so initially the unbroken material is through the converging Surface areas of the inner active surface and the outer effective surface in the Mahlspalt (annular gap) into compressed. After passing through the grinding gap, the grinding stock comminuted there to the blasting material again exits into an area widening out of the annular gap, can expand there and does not clump together. Finally, the blasting material is then converged again in the direction of the narrow conical mouth together with a compressed air / Strahlgutstrahl and exits at an increased speed.
Bei einer anderen Ausführung geht der torisch ausgebildete Bereich in einen konischen Bereich über, der ein Ende des ersten Mahlkörpers bildet und in den frusto-konischen Hohlraum im zweiten Mahlkörper hineinragt. Dadurch wird der oben beschriebene Düseneffekt zusätzlich verstärkt.In another embodiment, the torically formed region merges into a conical region which forms one end of the first grinding body and projects into the frusto-conical cavity in the second grinding body. As a result, the nozzle effect described above is additionally enhanced.
Bei anderen Ausführungen mündet die so gebildete insbesondere rotationssymmetrische Mahlgutabfuhrkammer in einen Abfuhranschluss, über den das Mahl-/Strahlgut direkt in ein Schlauchpaket der Trockeneisstrahlvorrichtung geführt werden kann. Dies ist so ohne weitere Umlenkungen und damit verlustarm möglich.In other embodiments, the thus formed particularly rotationally symmetrical Mahlgutabfuhrkammer opens into a discharge port, via which the grinding / blasting material can be fed directly into a hose assembly of the dry ice blasting device. This is possible without further deflections and thus loss.
Bei einer anderen Ausführung ist der erste Mahlkörper - der ggf. mit einem Mahlkopf drehbar innerhalb des zweiten Mahlkörpers aufgenommen ist - mit einem eine Mahlgutzufuhrkammer durchsetzenden Antriebsschaft versehen, der mit einer Antriebseinheit koppelbar ist und über eine Lageranordnung in einer mit der Antriebseinheit verbundenen Lagerhülse gelagert ist. Damit kann der erste Mahlkörper (bzw. der Mahlkopf) frei innerhalb des zweiten Mahlkörpers - also innerhalb der Mahlgutzufuhrkammer bzw. der Strahlgutabfuhrkammer - positioniert werden. Antrieb, Ausrichtung und Fixierung erfolgt über die Lagerhülse bzw. die Antriebseinheit. Durch die Lagerung innerhalb der Lagerhülse wird sichergestellt, dass die Antriebseinheit nur die zum Zerkleinern des Strahlgutes erforderliche Drehbewegung überträgt und frei von Quer- und Axialkräften bleibt.In another embodiment, the first grinding element - which is optionally received with a grinding head rotatable within the second grinding body - provided with a Mahlgutzufuhrkammer passing through drive shaft which can be coupled to a drive unit and is mounted via a bearing assembly in a bearing sleeve connected to the drive unit , Thus, the first grinding body (or the grinding head) freely within the second grinding body - ie within the Mahlgutzufuhrkammer or the Strahlgutabfuhrkammer - are positioned. Drive, alignment and fixation via the bearing sleeve or the drive unit. By the bearing within the bearing sleeve ensures that the drive unit transmits only required for crushing the blasting rotary motion and remains free of transverse and axial forces.
In einer Ausführung ist dabei die Lageranordnung und/oder die Antriebseinheit über eine am Antriebsschaft wirkende Dichtung (z.B. Wellendichtring, Gleitringdichtung) zur Mahlgutzufuhrkammer hin abgedichtet. Damit wird zuverlässig verhindert, dass Mahl- bzw. Strahlgut und/oder Druckluft in die Lageranordnung bzw. in die Antriebseinheit geraten kann. Zur Abdichtung ist nur eine einzige Dichtung erforderlich. Pressluft und Strahlgut bleiben innerhalb der Mahlgutzufuhrkammer.In one embodiment, the bearing arrangement and / or the drive unit is sealed by way of a seal acting on the drive shaft (eg shaft seal, mechanical seal) towards the grinding material supply chamber. This reliably prevents grinding or grit and / or compressed air from getting into the bearing arrangement or into the drive unit. For sealing only a single seal is required. Compressed air and blasting material remain within the grinding material supply chamber.
In einer weiteren Ausführung ist der zweite Mahlkörper am Ende eines Haltestücks ausgebildet, in dem die Mahlgutzufuhrkammer ausgebildet ist. Damit kann der zweite Mahlkörper austauschbar und aus einem anderen Werkstoff wie die Mahlgutzufuhrkammer ausgebildet sein.In a further embodiment, the second grinding body is formed at the end of a holding piece, in which the Mahlgutzufuhrkammer is formed. Thus, the second grinding body can be exchangeable and formed of a different material as the Mahlgutzufuhrkammer.
In einer Ausführung, bei welcher der zweite Mahlkörper und/oder die Lagerhülse zum Haltestück hin axial entlang der Rotationsachse verstellbar ausgebildet sind, ermöglicht diese Axialverstellung eine Veränderung der Ringspaltweite. Der erste Mahlkörper kann in Axialrichtung relativ zum zweiten Mahlkörper positioniert werden, so dass die Weite des Ringspaltes veränderbar ist und so die Korngröße des Strahlgutes in gewünschter Weise eingestellt werden kann.In an embodiment in which the second grinding body and / or the bearing sleeve are designed to be axially adjustable along the axis of rotation towards the holding piece, this axial adjustment makes it possible to change the annular gap width. The first grinding body can be positioned in the axial direction relative to the second grinding body, so that the width of the annular gap is variable and so the grain size of the blasting material can be adjusted in the desired manner.
Dabei gibt es Ausführungen, bei denen die Weite des Ringspaltes zwischen 4 und 0,1 mm, insbesondere zwischen 1 und 0,1 mm eingestellt wird.There are embodiments in which the width of the annular gap between 4 and 0.1 mm, in particular between 1 and 0.1 mm is set.
Bei einer Ausführung dient eine Spindelanordnung, über die das Haltestück mit der Lagerhülse gekoppelt ist, als Verstellmechanismus. So kann durch Verdrehen des Haltestücks zur Lagerhülse die axiale Lage des ersten Mahlkörpers zum zweiten Mahlkörper eingestellt werden.In one embodiment, a spindle assembly, via which the holding piece is coupled to the bearing sleeve, serves as an adjusting mechanism. Thus, by rotating the holding piece to the bearing sleeve, the axial position of the first grinding body can be adjusted to the second grinding body.
In einer anderen Ausführung ist entsprechender Weise der zweite Mahlkörper zum Haltestück verstellbar angeordnet, beispielsweise über eine Spindel oder ein Gewinde.In another embodiment, the second grinding body is correspondingly arranged adjustable manner to the holding piece, for example via a spindle or a thread.
Bei einer Ausführung ist die Mahlgutzufuhrkammer, die den ersten Mahlkörper bzw. dessen Antriebsschaft koaxial umgibt, mit einem Zufuhranschluss versehen, der tangential und zur Rotationsachse geneigt in die Mahlgutzufuhrkammer mündet. So wird das zugeführte Mahlgut zusammen mit dem Druckluftstrom in der Mahlgutzufuhrkammer zyklonartig den Ringspalt geführt. Diese Ausführung ist strömungstechnisch vorteilhaft und gewährleistet einen verlustarmen Mahlgutstrom in den Ringspalt.In one embodiment, the Mahlgutzufuhrkammer, which surrounds the first grinding body or its drive shaft coaxial, provided with a supply port which opens tangentially and inclined to the axis of rotation in the Mahlgutzufuhrkammer. Thus, the supplied millbase is cyclone-like guided together with the compressed air flow in the Mahlgutzufuhrkammer the annular gap. This design is aerodynamically advantageous and ensures a low-loss Mahlgutstrom in the annular gap.
Dabei gibt es Ausführungen, bei denen die Drehrichtung des Zyklonstroms der Drehrichtung des ersten Mahlkörpers im zweiten Mahlkörper entspricht.There are embodiments in which the direction of rotation of the cyclone flow corresponds to the direction of rotation of the first grinding body in the second grinding body.
Bei anderen Ausführungen kann die Drehrichtung des Zyklonstroms auch der Drehrichtung des ersten Mahlkörpers im zweiten Mahlkörper entgegengesetzt sein, um damit gegebenenfalls besondere Zerkleinerungsergebnisse zu erlangen.In other embodiments, the direction of rotation of the cyclone flow may also be opposite to the direction of rotation of the first grinding body in the second grinding body in order to obtain special comminution results, if appropriate.
Bei einer Ausführung, bei welcher der zweite Mahlkörper über ein Gewinde auswechselbar mit dem Haltestück gekoppelt ist, kann dieser bei Verschleiß besonders einfach ausgewechselt werden.In one embodiment, in which the second grinding body is interchangeably coupled to the holding piece via a thread, it can be exchanged particularly easily in the event of wear.
Dabei gibt es Ausführungen, bei welchen das Gewinde über eine spezielle Gewindedichtmasse abgedichtet ist, um Gasverluste durch den Gewindespalt zu vermeiden. Solche Dichtmassen können durch Erwärmen verflüssigt werden, so dass dann der zweite Mahlkörper auf das Haltestück auf oder von diesem abgeschraubt werden kann.There are versions in which the thread is sealed by a special thread sealant to avoid gas losses through the thread gap. Such sealing compounds can be liquefied by heating, so that then the second grinding body can be unscrewed onto the retaining piece or from this.
In anderen Ausführungen kann auch alternativ zum Gewindedichtmittel eine Dichtungsfläche vorgesehen werden, über die der zweite Mahlkörper gegen das Haltestück abgedichtet werden kann.In other embodiments, a sealing surface can also be provided as an alternative to the thread sealing means, via which the second grinding body can be sealed against the holding piece.
Um die Mahlergebnisse in Abhängigkeit vom zugeführten Mahlgut und dem erforderlichen Strahlgut entsprechend der gewünschten Einsatzsituation einzustellen bzw. zu verändern, können die Außenwirkfläche des ersten Mahlkörpers und/oder die Innenwirkfläche des zweiten Mahlkörpers mit einer Oberflächenstruktur versehen sein. Insbesondere können Rillen, Kerben, Noppen, Zähne, Zacken, Vertiefungen, und ähnliches vorgesehen sein, die entweder in Linien, Ring oder Spindel-/Gewindestrukturen angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet sind.In order to set or change the grinding results as a function of the supplied millbase and the required blasting material according to the desired application situation, the outer active surface of the first grinding body and / or the inner active surface of the second grinding body can be provided with a surface structure. In particular, grooves, notches, nubs, teeth, serrations, depressions, and the like may be provided, which are arranged or formed in either lines, ring or spindle / thread structures.
Es gibt auch Ausführungen, bei denen die Oberflächen der Außenwirkfläche und/oder der Innenwirkfläche durch besondere Oberflächenbehandlungen oder zusätzliche Beschichtungen in ihren Eigenschaften verändert werden, um das Mahlergebnis selbst zu beeinflussen oder die Festigkeit bzw. die Verschleißeigenschaften der Wirkflächen zu verbessern.There are also embodiments in which the surfaces of the outer active surface and / or the inner active surface are changed by special surface treatments or additional coatings in their properties in order to influence the grinding result itself or to improve the strength or the wear properties of the active surfaces.
Es gibt Ausführungen, bei denen der erste und der zweite Mahlkörper aus einem Aluminiumwerkstoff, insbesondere aus geeigneten Knet- bzw. Gusslegierungen ausgebildet ist und die Wirkflächen z.B. durch eine Eloxier- oder Hartanodisierbehandlung, verändert, insbesondere gehärtet, wurden. So kann ein leichter und einfach zu bearbeitender Werkstoff verwendet werden, der an den Wirkflächen trotzdem die erforderliche Verschleißfestigkeit aufweist.There are embodiments in which the first and the second grinding body is made of an aluminum material, in particular of suitable wrought or cast alloys, and the active surfaces e.g. by anodizing or Hartanodisierbehandlung, changed, in particular hardened, were. Thus, a lighter and easy-to-work material can be used, which still has the required wear resistance on the active surfaces.
Eine Trockeneisstrahlvorrichtung, die mit einem solchen Trockeneismahlwerk versehen ist, kann besonders verlustfrei, energiesparend und durch das geringe Gewicht und die einstellbare Strahlpartikelgröße (Strahlgut) variabel für unterschiedliche Aufgaben eingesetzt werden.A dry ice blasting device, which is provided with such a dry ice mill, can be used particularly lossless, energy-saving and variable by the low weight and the adjustable blasting particle size (grit) for different tasks.
Dabei gibt es Ausführungen, bei denen am Austrittsende des Trockeneismahlwerks ein zusätzlicher Fluidanschluss (z.B. für Druckluft) vorgesehen ist, über den das dort austretende Gemisch zusätzlich mit Förderfluid beaufschlagbar ist, um dieses Gemisch aus vorhandenem Förderfluid und Trockeneis zusätzlich zu beschleunigen, um so die Strahleigenschaften weiter zu verbessern.There are embodiments in which an additional fluid connection (eg for compressed air) is provided at the outlet end of the dry ice mill, via which the mixture emerging there can additionally be acted upon by conveying fluid in order to additionally accelerate this mixture of existing conveying fluid and dry ice, thus ensuring the jet properties continue to improve.
