Definitions
- the present invention relates to grinding media for use in an electromechanical comminution system (EMZ) and a corresponding device and a method for producing such grinding media.
- EMF electromechanical comminution system
- Such a crushing plant is, for example, in DE 10 2018 113 725 described.
- Magnetic grinding media are used in DD 240 674 B1 , DE 41 13 490 A1 , EP 0510 256 B1 as well as U.S. 5,348,237 , which propose devices and methods for electromechanical comminution and/or deagglomeration or dispersion of disperse inorganic solids (silicates, oxide ceramics, pigments) or multiphase mixtures (dispersions), described as magnetic working bodies in order to generate intensive translational transverse movements and tumbling movements with electromagnetic fields of electrical excitation systems, and thus to generate sufficient mechanical stresses on the educt.
- These working bodies are made of hard magnetic material (e.g.
- hexaferrite are spherical or barrel-shaped with a diameter or length of 1.0 to 4.0 mm and fill the process chamber of the electromechanical comminution system at least 40 to 90% by volume. . It is to be expected that such working bodies made of hard-magnetic hexaferritic materials in electromechanical comminution systems will wear out severely, so that the product will be contaminated with the wear.
- DE 32 33 926 A1 proposes an electromechanical comminuting, mixing or stirring device using ferromagnetic particles or bodies made of carbon steel or other materials having the necessary magnetic and/or electrical properties, suitably for fine comminution as pins of 15 mm and a diameter of 2 mm and which should have a higher magnetic conductance in the axial direction.
- Such working bodies are not suitable for the comminution, deagglomeration and dispersing of disperse substances, pumpable multi-phase mixtures, since the magnetic properties are far too low and their movement and the stresses triggered thereby are insufficient.
- foreign substances are introduced into the product as they wear out.
- Patent applications are also known that describe the movement of the grinding media in mechanical mills (ball mill: PL382610A1 or. WO_2014/065680 A1 , RU 2 319 546 , mortar grinder: WO 86/01129 ) with magnet systems arranged on the outside of the grinding container and thus increase the efficiency of the grinding process (e.g. cement production: EP 2 128 107 A2 ) want to improve.

- the grinding media produced in this way can be removed and cooled to room temperature.
- a magnetic field that changes over time and location is generated in the reactor by an additional magnet system.
- This magnet system has at least one coil and surrounds the reactor above the gas-permeable floor. Alternating currents flow through the magnet system and, for example in the middle of the gas-permeable floor, has a magnetic flux density with an effective value of at least 5 mT, with the frequencies of the alternating currents having to be adapted to the mass of the hard-magnetic cores.

This etching resulted in an increase in the surface roughness, which enables better mechanical adhesion of further layers. Etching is also possible with other acids such as hydrochloric acid, aqua regia or the like.
- a volume ratio of hard magnetic cores to solvent was 1:50 to 1:100 in these chemical treatments in order to avoid concentration of the solvates.
- the surface treatment according to the invention leads to a mass loss of less than 20% by weight, so that a corresponding change in size of the hard-magnetic cores is less than 5%.
- a primer layer can be applied, for example by silanizing the surface of the hard-magnetic cores. This allows the formation of strong bonds between the core material and the coating material.
- organofunctional silanes are preferably used. These have a functional group -X, which connects to the polymer layer. The connection to the organic material takes place via a hydrolyzable functional group. This combines with the -OH groups, which are always found on inorganic materials. This creates covalent bonds with the inorganic substrate via a condensation reaction.
- an appropriate -X functional group is selected. This depends on the polymer used. Possible groups are amino (-NH 2 ), sulfur (-S), glycidol (-C 3 H 6 O 2 ) and metacryloxy (-C 4 H 5 O 2 ). Aminosilanes are suitable for a polymer coating with polyamide.

- Figure 5a and 5b show light micrographs of cross sections of hard magnetic cores coated with a polyamide as the coating material, see coating 28. These were reproduced in a device according to the invention 7 manufactured.
- Figure 5a is a coating of corresponding thickness 23 less than thickness 23 in Figure 5b educated.
- coating materials that can be used are polymers that have a melting temperature below the Curie temperature of the hard magnetic cores and can harden by cooling or by reactive components.
- the corresponding polymer powders can consist of a pure substance, mixed with additives and used as a mixture (master batches) to achieve certain properties.
- Coating materials can be based on the following polymers: polyamide, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyether, ketone, polyurethane, epoxy resin and the like.
- the coating materials are selected in particular according to the fact that they can be melted below the Curie temperature of the selected hard magnetic core material, are sufficiently wear-resistant after curing and are approved for the processing of corresponding products (see the preceding statements).
- the reactor 7 shows such a device with a reactor 1, through which coated hard-magnetic cores, ie grinding bodies according to the invention, can be produced.
- the reactor itself consists of a non-ferromagnetic material and has an upper opening 2 . Hard-magnetic cores can be supplied via the upper opening 2 .
- the reactor 1 has a gas-permeable base 4, which has a lower material-free area 26, see also 8 , separated from a material-carrying area 27 .
- the material-free area 26 extends from the gas-permeable floor 4 to a lower opening 3.
- the material-carrying area 27 extends above the Gas-permeable floor 4 and is essentially limited by the height of the reactor, so that it can be larger than in the Figures 7 to 10 shown.
- the gas-permeable base 4 also consists of a non-ferromagnetic material.
- the embodiment after 7 suitable for a batch coating of hard magnetic cores 6.
- the hard-magnetic cores 6 to be coated are preferably magnetized to saturation using a magnetizing device (not shown).
- the magnetization can be done by pulse magnetization.
- the magnetized cores are then heated, e.g. B. in an electrically heated oven, to a temperature that in the reactor 1 in contact with particles of a coating material 7 can melt them. However, the temperature is lower than a corresponding Curie temperature of the hard magnetic cores.
- the opening 2 is used for the addition of coating material, the heated and magnetized hard magnetic cores and the removal of finished coated hard magnetic cores, i. H. the finished grinding media.
- a gas stream can be introduced through the lower opening 3 , which gas stream is distributed uniformly over the reactor cross section from below when it passes through the gas-permeable base 4 and supports fluidization of the disperse coating material 7 .
- a magnet system 5 Above the gas-permeable floor 4 is a magnet system 5 with two coils 30 surrounding the reactor.
- the magnet system and its time- and location-dependent magnetic field result in a field gradient that changes over time and location, which fluidizes the heated and magnetized hard-magnetic cores 6 that are fed in via the opening 2 .
- the disperse coating material 7 is also fluidized by the movement of the hard-magnetic cores 6, as well as by the gas flow already described above.
- the coating material melts on contact with surfaces 24 of the heated, hard-magnetic cores.
- the overall resulting temperature of the disperse coating material 7 determines a thickness 23 of the coating 28 on the hard magnetic cores 6 with a constant dwell time of the hard magnetic cores in the reactor 1, see also 6 .
- the magnet system 5 after 7 has two coils 30 concentrically surrounding the reactor, through which alternating currents flow. These generate a temporally and spatially changing magnetic flux density distribution in the material-carrying area 27 of the reactor 1, preferably with an effective value of at least 5 mT on the gas-permeable floor 4.
- the frequency of the alternating currents in the coils 30 of the magnet system 5, which determine the flux density changes over time, should not exceed a frequency at which the hard-magnetic cores 6 can no longer follow the changes in flux density due to their inertia. For example, frequencies greater than 10 Hz and less than 400 Hz should be set for cores with a size of >0.5 mm and densities of around 4 to 5 kg/dm 3 .
- FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of a device according to the invention or a reactor 1 according to the invention. This differs from the first embodiment 7 by heating the magnetized, hard-magnetic cores 6 to a required process temperature via a heating device 37 in the area of a funnel 9.
- the heating device 37 can be designed to be controllable in order to achieve the corresponding temperature of the hard-magnetic cores in a reproducible manner.
- the heating device 37 is in front of a reactor opening 32 (see also 8 ) and serves to feed the heated, magnetized, hard-magnetic cores 12 into the reactor 1.
- the feed is carried out magnetically with another magnet system 11 operated in a pulsed manner. This enables a quasi-continuous process control of the coating.
- Completely coated, hard-magnetic cores can be removed from the reactor 1 via an opening 13 with a rod-like holding magnet or the like when the magnet system 11 is not electrically active.
- a further opening 14 is arranged as an exhaust gas opening opposite the opening 13 .
- the opening 32 of the reactor, in the upper end region 31, is in the exemplary embodiment 8 via a connection 33 in a heatable funnel-shaped container 9 over.
- the previously magnetized, hard-magnetic cores are heated by means of the heating device 37 to a temperature lower than the Curie temperature of the cores and higher than the melting point of the coating material.
- Other heating devices are also possible, such as infrared radiators, induction heating, magnetrons or the like.
- the magnet system 11 comprises an ironless coil which is periodically pulsed with a current.
- Current pulse height and duration are selected in such a way that a short-term magnetic field is created which penetrates the lower area of the bed of heated, magnetized, hard-magnetic cores 12 and which cancels out the magnetic holding forces between the cores in this area.
- a corresponding quantity of hard magnetic cores falls through the opening 32 as an exit into the reactor 1, with the cores remaining in the funnel 9 slipping down.
- the amount of hard magnetic cores supplied can be adjusted by the current pulse height and pulse duration.
- the corresponding finished grinding bodies are removed from the reactor 1 after a residence time required for coating the fluidized, hard-magnetic cores 6 .
- the coating process can also be carried out periodically.
- FIG 9 12 shows a third exemplary embodiment of the device or of the reactor 1.
- This differs from the exemplary embodiments according to FIG 7 and 8th in that the magnetized, hard-magnetic cores are heated to the required process temperature by coupling in microwave power as a heating device 34 (see figure 10 ) by means of at least one antenna 15 directly on the reactor 1.
- the reactor 1 thus consists of a non-microwave-absorbing material, such as Teflon, silica glass or the like, at least in the region where the microwave radiation acts.
- the reactor 1 is surrounded by a metallic grid 18 in the region where the microwave radiation acts, so that the microwave radiation is negligible and prescribed limit values are observed ( ⁇ 50 W/m 2 at a distance of 5 cm).
- the supplied microwave power can be controlled by measuring, fiber-optically, pyrometrically or the like, a surface temperature of the hard-magnetic cores 6 .
- a corresponding design of a reactor 1 ensures, on the one hand, a coating of very small ( ⁇ 1 mm) hard magnetic cores 6, since such cores would cool down too quickly when heated before and during entry into the reactor 1 as a result of their low heat storage capacity, and, on the other hand, a better and reproducible coating quality for all core sizes.
- externally pretreated, in particular precoated, non-magnetized hard magnetic cores which were precoated in a preliminary stage with a coating material/binder suspension and to which further layers were applied as solid films using known coating methods, can then be fed magnetized to the reactor. Thereafter, without further addition of disperse coating material, the layers already present in the reactor can be melted in order to improve the homogeneity and/or the surface quality.
- the cores can also be pretreated prior to the precoating, see for example the surface treatment described above.
- FIG. 10 represents a fourth exemplary embodiment of a device or a reactor 1 according to the invention.
- Uncoated hard magnetic cores 6 are first magnetized, weighed and placed in the reactor 1. Then the magnet system 5 is switched on by a controller 35, which serves to move and fluidize the cores. At the same time, the microwave generator 16 for heating the hard-magnetic cores 6 is activated. This takes place via microwave antennas 15 and the delivery of corresponding microwaves. Measures the temperature sensor 17 reaching a target temperature of z. B. 176 ° C, is supplied by means of a heater 36 temperature-controlled air as a gas stream 8 for fluidization and also added the coating powder. The desired temperature is then maintained according to the temperature sensor 17, for example for 3 minutes.
- a controller for example a programmable logic controller 19 .
- the reactor size depends on the reactor size, the amount of hard magnetic cores filled in, the core size and the desired layer thickness.
- the target temperature is maintained until sufficient coating material has been melted onto the magnetized, hard-magnetic cores 6 .
- the microwave generator 16 and the heater 36 are switched off.
- a corresponding supply of air as a gas stream 8 continues to be operated for cooling until the temperature sensor 17 falls below a corresponding setpoint value.
- the coated hard-magnetic cores are then removed via the opening 13 (see 8 ). This is advantageously carried out with a rod which is provided at the end with a permanent magnet or an activatable electric coil.
- the magnetic coils 30 are switched off by means of the controller 35 and the reactor 1 is completely emptied and cleaned and, if necessary, refilled.
- Figure 11a and 11b show finished grinding media, ie coated, hard magnetic cores according to the invention.
- the coating on the hard magnetic cores is closed. After Figure 11a the coating has a corresponding roughness.
- a mechanical post-treatment to smooth the surfaces of the grinding media is possible. Drumming, magnetic fluidization in a reactor without coating material or targeted stressing ("grinding") in an EMZ system with an abrasive material, for example aluminum oxide, are suitable.
- the grinding bodies 20 can also be demagnetized if necessary. This succeeds in a decaying alternating field, which is operated by a coil that is operated with a controllable alternating current source - in the simplest case a regulating transformer.
- the alternating field must at least reach the saturation field strength of the hard-magnetic cores and then decay or be reduced to zero.
- Another way to demagnetize is to determine the coercivity of the polarization of the hard magnetic nuclei, e.g. B. by recording the hysteresis curve with a vibration magnetometer, and then using a magnet system fed with direct current to build up an opposing field of this strength and to let it act briefly on the hard magnetic cores.
- the hard magnetic cores must be sufficiently mechanically fixed to prevent them from moving in the direction of the magnetic field generated for demagnetization.

Der folgenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Mahlkörper mit geringem Mahlkörperverschleiß und großer Produktverträglichkeit bereitzustellen, die entsprechende magnetische und mechanische Eigenschaften aufweisen sowie eine entsprechende Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung solcher Mahlkörper.The object of the present invention is to provide grinding bodies with low grinding body wear and high product compatibility, which have appropriate magnetic and mechanical properties, and a corresponding device and a method for producing such grinding bodies.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die unabhängigen Patentansprüche gelöst.This object is solved by the independent patent claims.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Mahlkörper zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass der Mahlkörper einen hartmagnetischen Kern und wenigstens eine diesen umgebende, verschleißfeste Beschichtung aufweist. Solche beschichteten, hartmagnetischen Mahlkörper sind in Zerkleinerungsanlagen zur Zerkleinerung, Deagglomeration und/oder Dispergierung insbesondere von Wirkstoffen einsetzbar, die in der Pharmazie, Biotechnologie und/oder Lebensmittelindustrie benötigt werden.A grinding body according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the grinding body has a hard-magnetic core and at least one wear-resistant coating surrounding it. Such coated, hard-magnetic grinding media are used in comminution plants for comminution, deagglomeration and/or dispersing, in particular of active ingredients that are required in pharmacy, biotechnology and/or the food industry.
Es wurden beispielsweise Versuche in der EMZ nach
Bei unbeschichteten Mahlkörpern wurde unter gleichen Bedingungen allerdings ein relativer Masseverlust von 1 bis 10 wt-% festgestellt. Solche Mahlkörper führen zu höheren Betriebskosten aufgrund des Verschleißes und sind mit Produkten der Pharmazie, Biotechnologie und/oder Lebensmittelindustrie nicht produktverträglich und folglich in entsprechenden Zerkleinerungsanlagen nicht erlaubt.In the case of uncoated grinding media, however, a relative loss in mass of 1 to 10% by weight was determined under the same conditions. Such grinding media lead to higher operating costs due to wear and tear and are not product-compatible with products from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and/or food industry and are therefore not permitted in corresponding comminution plants.
Die hartmagnetischen Kerne solcher Mahlkörper können eine Koerzitivfeldstärke von mindestens 50 kA/m, vorzugsweise mindestens 70 kA/m und insbesondere bevorzugt von mindestens 100 kA/m aufweisen. Weiterhin können sie eine Remanenz von > 50 mT, bevorzugt > 70 mT und insbesondere bevorzugt von > 100 mT aufweisen.The hard-magnetic cores of such grinding bodies can have a coercive field strength of at least 50 kA/m, preferably at least 70 kA/m and particularly preferably at least 100 kA/m. Furthermore, they can have a remanence of >50 mT, preferably >70 mT and particularly preferably >100 mT.
Die verschleißfeste Schicht ist beispielsweise eine Polymerschicht. Diese weist entsprechende physikalische und/oder chemische Eigenschaften auf, die bei dem oben genannten Einsatz der Mahlkörper von Vorteil ist.The wear-resistant layer is a polymer layer, for example. This has corresponding physical and/or chemical properties which are advantageous when the grinding bodies are used as mentioned above.
Der hartmagnetische Kern ist sphärisch ausgebildet und kann entsprechend magnetisierbar sein.The hard-magnetic core is spherical and can be correspondingly magnetizable.
Weiterhin kann die Beschichtung in Abhängigkeit von einer Kerngröße, insbesondere Kerndurchmesser, eine Dicke von 5 µm bis 500 µm und bevorzugt von 10 µm bis 300 µm aufweisen. Die sphärische Gestalt der hartmagnetischen Kerne hat dabei einen Durchmesser von 0,1 mm bis 10 mm.Furthermore, depending on a core size, in particular core diameter, the coating can have a thickness of 5 μm to 500 μm and preferably from 10 μm to 300 μm. The spherical shape of the hard-magnetic cores has a diameter of 0.1 mm to 10 mm.
In der Regel kann die Polymerschicht bzw. Beschichtung geschlossen sein und/oder zwischen Polymerschicht und hartmagnetischem Kern kann wenigstens eine Primerschicht als haftvermittelnde Schicht angeordnet sein. Außerdem kann die Oberfläche der Beschichtung geglättet sein. Bei der Herstellung der Mahlkörper werden zunächst die hartmagnetischen Kerne auf ihrer Oberfläche zur Verbesserung der physikalischen und/oder chemischen Haftfähigkeit mechanisch und/oder chemisch behandelt, um die Oberflächenrauheit zu vergrößern. Anschließend können die hartmagnetischen Kerne magnetisiert und dann einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Herstellung der Mahlkörper zugeführt werden.As a rule, the polymer layer or coating can be closed and/or at least one primer layer can be arranged between the polymer layer and the hard-magnetic core as an adhesion-promoting layer. In addition, the surface of the coating can be smoothed. In the production of the grinding media, the hard magnetic cores are first treated mechanically and/or chemically on their surface to improve the physical and/or chemical adhesiveness in order to increase the surface roughness. Then can the hard-magnetic cores are magnetized and then fed to a device according to the invention for the production of the grinding media.
Eine solche Vorrichtung weist wenigstens einen Reaktor auf, der durch einen gasdurchlässigen Boden in einen unteren, materialfreien Bereich und einen oberen, materialführenden Bereich unterteilt ist. Der materialführende Bereich dient zur Aufnahme von fluidisiertem, dispersem Beschichtungsmaterial und fluidisierten, hartmagnetischen Kernen. Weiterhin ist der materialführende Bereich von einem Magnetsystem zur Fluidisierung der hartmagnetischen Kerne umgeben.Such a device has at least one reactor, which is divided by a gas-permeable floor into a lower, material-free area and an upper, material-carrying area. The material-carrying area serves to accommodate fluidized, disperse coating material and fluidized, hard-magnetic cores. Furthermore, the material-carrying area is surrounded by a magnet system for fluidizing the hard-magnetic cores.
Dabei werden die vorbehandelten hartmagnetischen Kerne, siehe die obigen Ausführungen, dem Reaktor zugeführt, in dem sich bereits das Beschichtungsmaterial in disperser Form befindet. Die hartmagnetischen Kerne werden vor Zuführung und/oder im Reaktor auf eine Temperatur größer als eine Schmelztemperatur des Beschichtungsmaterials, aber kleiner als eine Curie-Temperatur der hartmagnetischen Kerne aufgeheizt.In this case, the pretreated hard-magnetic cores, see the above statements, are fed to the reactor in which the coating material is already in dispersed form. Before being fed in and/or in the reactor, the hard-magnetic cores are heated to a temperature that is higher than a melting point of the coating material but lower than a Curie temperature of the hard-magnetic cores.
In dem materialführenden Bereich des Reaktors werden die hartmagnetischen Kerne dann von dem Magnetsystem bzw. dem von diesem erzeugten Magnetfeld fluidisiert, so dass Partikel des Beschichtungsmaterials in Kontakt mit den Oberflächen der hartmagnetischen Kerne treten und dort aufgrund der Temperatur aufschmelzen. Durch Entzug der Schmelzwärme erstarren die Partikel des Beschichtungsmaterials. Nach einer hinreichenden Verweilzeit im Reaktor sind die hartmagnetischen Körper vorzugweise vollständig und gleichmäßig mit dem Beschichtungsmaterial beschichtet.In the material-carrying area of the reactor, the hard-magnetic cores are then fluidized by the magnet system or the magnetic field generated by it, so that particles of the coating material come into contact with the surfaces of the hard-magnetic cores and melt there due to the temperature. By removing the heat of fusion, the particles of the coating material solidify. After a sufficient residence time in the reactor, the hard-magnetic bodies are preferably completely and evenly coated with the coating material.
Anschließend können die hartmagnetischen Kerne mit ihrer Beschichtung als fertiggestellte Mahlkörper aus dem Reaktor abgeführt, abgekühlt und ggf. nachbehandelt werden. Diese Mahlkörper sind dann zur Verwendung in elektromechanischen Zerkleinerungsanlagen in magnetisiertem Zustand oder auch entmagnetisiert in mechanischen Zerkleinerungsanlagen zur Zerkleinerung, Deagglomeration und/oder Dispergierung von dispersen Stoffen und/oder pumpfähigen Mehrphasengemischen auch bei Anwendungsgebieten aus dem Gebiet der Pharmazie und dergleichen sehr gut geeignet und zeichnen sich durch geringen Materialverschleiß und hohe Produktverträglichkeit aus.The hard-magnetic cores with their coating can then be removed from the reactor as finished grinding media, cooled and optionally post-treated. These grinding media are then very well suited for use in electromechanical comminution systems in the magnetized state or also demagnetized in mechanical comminution systems for comminution, deagglomeration and/or dispersing of disperse substances and/or pumpable multi-phase mixtures, also in areas of application in the field of pharmacy and the like and are characterized characterized by low material wear and high product compatibility.
Weiterhin zeichnen sich die erfindungsgemäßen Mahlkörper dadurch aus, dass sie im entmagnetisierten Zustand auch in Kugelmühlen, wie beispielweise Rührwerks-Kugelmühlen oder dergleichen, zur Zerkleinerung, Deagglomeration und/oder Dispergierung von Wirkstoffen bzw. allgemein organischen Materialien einsetzbar sind.Furthermore, the grinding media according to the invention are characterized in that, in the demagnetized state, they can also be used in ball mills, such as agitator ball mills or the like, for comminuting, deagglomerating and/or dispersing active substances or organic materials in general.
Gegenüber bekannten Mahlkörpern zeichnen sich die erfindungsgemäßen Mahlkörper weiterhin durch eine höhere Dichte aus, so dass bei gleichen Betriebsparametern von Kugelmühlen eine höhere Bearbeitungsintensität möglich ist.Compared to known grinding media, the grinding media according to the invention are also characterized by a higher density, so that a higher processing intensity is possible with the same operating parameters of ball mills.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Herstellung solcher Mahlkörper weist im entsprechenden Reaktor einen gasdurchlässigen Boden auf. Weiterhin kann der Reaktor unterhalb dieses Bodens eine Gaseinleitöffnung aufweisen. Dadurch ist ein Gasstrom in den materialführenden Bereich einleitbar, der beispielsweise die Fluidisierung der Partikel des Beschichtungsmaterials sowie auch eine Fluidisierung der hartmagnetischen Kerne unterstützt. Die hauptsächliche Fluidisierung der hartmagnetischen Kerne erfolgt allerdings durch das den Reaktor umgebende Magnetsystem.The device according to the invention for producing such grinding bodies has a gas-permeable base in the corresponding reactor. Furthermore, the reactor can have a gas inlet opening below this floor. As a result, a gas flow can be introduced into the material-carrying area, which supports, for example, the fluidization of the particles of the coating material and also the fluidization of the hard-magnetic cores. However, the main fluidization of the hard-magnetic cores takes place through the magnet system surrounding the reactor.
Um dem Reaktor auf einfache Art Material zuzuführen bzw. entnehmen zu können, kann oberhalb des Bodens zumindest eine verschließbare Öffnung zur Zufuhr von Kernen, von Beschichtungsmaterial und/oder zur Entnahme der fertiggestellten Mahlkörper ausgebildet sein. Natürlich ist auch die Anordnung von mehreren Öffnungen zur getrennten Zufuhr entsprechender Stoffe möglich.In order to be able to feed or remove material from the reactor in a simple manner, at least one closable opening for feeding cores, coating material and/or for removing the finished grinding media can be formed above the base. Of course, the arrangement of several openings for the separate supply of corresponding substances is also possible.
Es wurde bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass das den Reaktor oberhalb des gasdurchlässigen Bodens vollständig umgebende Magnetsystem eine entsprechende Fluidisierung von erhitzten, magnetisierten hartmagnetischen Kernen ermöglicht. Dazu kann das Magnetsystem wenigstens eine Spule aufweisen, die den Reaktor vollständig umgibt.It has already been pointed out that the magnet system, which completely surrounds the reactor above the gas-permeable floor, enables corresponding fluidization of heated, magnetized, hard-magnetic cores. For this purpose, the magnet system can have at least one coil that completely surrounds the reactor.
Um die hartmagnetischen Kerne ausreichend erwärmen zu können, kann insbesondere einem oberen Endbereich des Reaktors ein beheizbarer und insbesondere trichterförmiger Behälter zugeordnet oder dort angeordnet sein, in dem zuvor magnetisierte hartmagnetische Kerne zum Aufheizen anordenbar sind. Ein Heizen der hartmagnetischen Kerne erfolgt auf eine Temperatur, die kleiner als eine entsprechende Curie-Temperatur der hartmagnetischen Kerne und größer als eine Schmelztemperatur des Beschichtungsmaterials ist.In order to be able to heat the hard-magnetic cores sufficiently, a heatable and in particular funnel-shaped container can be assigned or arranged in particular in an upper end region of the reactor, in which previously magnetized hard-magnetic cores can be arranged for heating. The hard magnetic cores are heated to a temperature which is lower than a corresponding Curie temperature of the hard magnetic cores and higher than a melting temperature of the coating material.
Es besteht weiterhin die Möglichkeit, im Bereich einer Verbindung zwischen Reaktor und dem trichterförmigen Behälter ein weiteres Magnetsystem anzuordnen. Dies wird vorzugsweise periodisch impulsartig mit einem Strom betrieben. Stromimpulshöhe und -dauer können so gewählt werden, dass kurzzeitig zumindest in einem unteren Bereich des trichterförmigen Behälters angeordnete hartmagnetische Kerne so beeinflusst werden, dass deren gegenseitige magnetische Anziehung aufgehoben und somit in Folge der magnetischen Zugkraft durch dieses weitere Magnetsystem und der Schwerkraft eine bestimmte Menge von Kernen in den materialführenden Bereich des Reaktors fällt. Die zugeführte Menge der hartmagnetischen Kerne kann durch Stromimpulshöhe und Impulsdauer einstellbar sein.There is also the possibility of arranging another magnet system in the area of a connection between the reactor and the funnel-shaped container. This is preferably operated periodically in pulses with a current. Current pulse height and duration can be selected in such a way that hard magnetic cores arranged at least in a lower area of the funnel-shaped container are briefly influenced in such a way that their mutual magnetic attraction is canceled and thus, as a result of the magnetic pulling force through this additional magnet system and gravity, a certain amount of Cores in the material-carrying area of the reactor falls. The amount of hard-magnetic cores supplied can be adjusted by current pulse height and pulse duration.
Es wurde bereits auf entsprechende Öffnungen im Reaktor hingewiesen, wobei vorzugsweise im oberen Endbereich des Reaktors wenigstens eine seitliche Öffnung zur Entnahme beschichteter hartmagnetischer Kerne, d. h. der fertiggestellten Mahlkörper, angeordnet sein kann.Appropriate openings in the reactor have already been pointed out, with at least one lateral opening for removing coated hard-magnetic cores, i. H. the finished grinding media, can be arranged.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass bereits vorgeheizte und magnetisierte hartmagnetische Kerne dem Reaktor zugeführt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang kann es sich allerdings als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn im materialführenden Bereich eine weitere Heizeinrichtung angeordnet ist. Durch diese kann das Beschichtungsmaterial erwärmt werden, wobei allerdings auch Wärmeverluste oder eine direkte Erwärmung der fluidisierten, hartmagnetischen Kerne kompensiert bzw. erfolgen kann.It is possible that already preheated and magnetized hard magnetic cores are fed into the reactor. In this context, however, it can prove to be advantageous if a further heating device is arranged in the material-carrying area. The coating material can be heated by this, although heat losses or direct heating of the fluidized, hard-magnetic cores can also be compensated or ensued.
Ein Beispiel für eine Heizeinrichtung ist ein Aufheizen mit Mikrowellen, wobei eine entsprechende Mikrowellenantenne, die mit einem steuerbaren Mikrowellengenerator verbunden ist, im materialführenden Bereich angeordnet sein kann. In diesem Zusammenhang sollte der Reaktor oberhalb des gasdurchlässigen Bodens aus einem mikrowellen-nichtabsorbierenden Material gebildet sein.An example of a heating device is heating with microwaves, in which case a corresponding microwave antenna, which is connected to a controllable microwave generator, can be arranged in the material-carrying area. In this connection, the reactor above the gas-permeable tray should be formed of a microwave-non-absorbent material.
Bevorzugt kann insbesondere oberhalb des gasdurchlässigen Bodens und insbesondere im materialführenden Bereich wenigstens ein Temperatursensor vorgesehen sein. Dieser kann zur Erfassung der mittleren Temperatur im Reaktor und/oder des Beschichtungsmaterials und/oder der hartmagnetischen Kerne dienen. Es sind natürlich auch mehrere Temperatursensoren denkbar, die beispielsweise unterschiedlichen Bereichen des Reaktors zugeordnet sein können.At least one temperature sensor can preferably be provided in particular above the gas-permeable floor and in particular in the material-carrying area. This can be used to record the mean temperature in the reactor and/or the coating material and/or the hard-magnetic cores. Of course, several temperature sensors are also conceivable, which can be assigned to different areas of the reactor, for example.
Verfahrensmäßig ist darauf zu achten, dass durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung beispielsweise ein Magnetisieren der hartmagnetischen Kerne und ein Erwärmen auf eine Temperatur oberhalb der Schmelztemperatur und unterhalb der Curie-Temperatur erfolgt. Diese magnetisierten und erwärmten hartmagnetischen Kerne werden dann durch das entsprechende, sich zeitlich und örtlich ändernde Magnetfeld des Magnetsystems fluidisiert. Anschließend erfolgt ein Aufschmelzen des ebenfalls fluidisierten, pulvrigen Beschichtungsmaterials auf Oberflächen der erwärmten hartmagnetischen Kerne, so dass sich eine Beschichtung bilden kann.In terms of the method, it must be ensured that the device according to the invention, for example, magnetizes the hard-magnetic cores and heats them to a temperature above the melting point and below the Curie temperature. These magnetized and heated hard-magnetic cores are then fluidized by the corresponding magnetic field of the magnet system that changes over time and location. The likewise fluidized, powdery coating material is then melted on the surfaces of the heated, hard-magnetic cores, so that a coating can form.
Wenn sich eine, vorzugsweise geschlossene, Beschichtung gebildet hat und zusätzlich eine gewisse Sollschichtdicke erreicht ist, können die auf diese Weise hergestellten Mahlkörper abgeführt und auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt werden.When a preferably closed coating has formed and a certain target layer thickness has also been reached, the grinding media produced in this way can be removed and cooled to room temperature.
In dem Reaktor wird durch ein weiteres Magnetsystem ein sich zeitlich und örtlich änderndes Magnetfeld erzeugt. Dieses Magnetsystem weist wenigstens eine Spule auf und umgibt den Reaktor oberhalb des gasdurchlässigen Bodens. Das Magnetsystem wird von Wechselströmen durchflossen und weist beispielsweise in der Mitte des gasdurchlässigen Bodens eine magnetische Flussdichte mit einem Effektivwert von mindestens 5 mT auf, wobei die Frequenzen der Wechselströme der Masse der hartmagnetischen Kerne anzupassen ist. Ein solches Magnetfeld dient beispielsweise zur Fluidisierung der hartmagnetischen Kerne in dem materialführenden Bereich des Reaktors.A magnetic field that changes over time and location is generated in the reactor by an additional magnet system. This magnet system has at least one coil and surrounds the reactor above the gas-permeable floor. Alternating currents flow through the magnet system and, for example in the middle of the gas-permeable floor, has a magnetic flux density with an effective value of at least 5 mT, with the frequencies of the alternating currents having to be adapted to the mass of the hard-magnetic cores. Such a magnetic field is used, for example, to fluidize the hard-magnetic cores in the material-carrying area of the reactor.
Um eine ausreichende Magnetisierung der hartmagnetischen Kerne bereits vor Zufuhr zum Reaktor zu erreichen, kann bereits außerhalb des Reaktors, vorzugsweise durch Impulsmagnetisierung, eine entsprechende Magnetisierung erfolgen. Vor einer solchen Magnetisierung außerhalb des Reaktors kann es sich als günstig erweisen, wenn Oberflächen der Kerne durch mechanische und/oder chemische Methoden aufgeraut werden. Dies verbessert die Haftung des Beschichtungsmaterials.In order to achieve sufficient magnetization of the hard-magnetic cores before they are fed into the reactor, appropriate magnetization can take place outside the reactor, preferably by pulse magnetization. Before such a magnetization outside of the reactor, it can prove advantageous if the surfaces of the cores are roughened by mechanical and/or chemical methods. This improves the adhesion of the coating material.
Erfindungsgemäß besteht weiterhin die Möglichkeit, dass eine vollständige oder zumindest teilweise Erwärmung der hartmagnetischen Kerne bereits nach ihrer Magnetisierung und noch außerhalb des Reaktors erfolgt. Ebenfalls besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die hartmagnetischen Kerne im Reaktor auch bereits im fluidisierten Zustand mittels einer Heizeinrichtung und beispielsweise durch Mikrowellen erhitzt werden.According to the invention, there is also the possibility that the hard-magnetic cores are already completely or at least partially heated after they have been magnetized and still outside the reactor. It is also possible for the hard-magnetic cores in the reactor to be heated in the fluidized state by means of a heating device and, for example, by microwaves.
Um die Haftung weiter zu verbessern, besteht außerdem die Möglichkeit, dass die hartmagnetischen Kerne mit einem Haftvermittler beschichtet werden. Dies kann vor der Magnetisierung erfolgen.In order to further improve adhesion, there is also the option of coating the hard-magnetic cores with an adhesion promoter. This can be done before magnetization.
Weiterhin können extern vorbeschichtete und magnetisierte hartmagnetische Kerne, die dem Reaktor zugeführt werden mit der Mikrowelle aufgeheizt und vollständig beschichtet werden.Furthermore, externally pre-coated and magnetized hard-magnetic cores that are fed into the reactor can be heated with the microwave and completely coated.
Erfindungsgemäß besteht weiterhin die Möglichkeit, entsprechend fertiggestellte Mahlkörper aus dem Reaktor zu entnehmen und im Wesentlichen gleichzeitig eine äquivalente Menge magnetisierter hartmagnetischer Kerne dem Reaktor neu zuzuführen. Dadurch kann im Wesentlichen immer eine gleiche Menge von solchen Kernen zur weiteren Behandlung im Reaktor bevorratet werden.According to the invention, there is also the possibility of removing correspondingly finished grinding media from the reactor and essentially simultaneously feeding an equivalent amount of magnetized hard-magnetic cores back into the reactor. As a result, essentially the same quantity of such cores can always be stored for further treatment in the reactor.
Die Entnahme der fertiggestellten Mahlkörper aus dem Reaktor bzw. auch deren Zufuhr kann ggf. manuell erfolgen. Entsprechend fertiggestellte Mahlkörper können nach ihrer Entnahme aus dem Reaktor geglättet werden, beispielsweise durch Trommeln (Gleitschleifen).The removal of the finished grinding bodies from the reactor or their feeding can optionally be done manually. Correspondingly finished grinding bodies can be smoothed after they have been removed from the reactor, for example by tumbling (vibratory grinding).
Weiterhin besteht die Möglichkeit, die Mahlkörper ggf. nach Größe zu sortieren und, bei Erfordernis, neu zu magnetisieren.It is also possible to sort the grinding media by size and, if necessary, to re-magnetise them.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Herstellung der Mahlkörper ist ebenfalls dazu geeignet, bereits benutzte Mahlkörper neu zu beschichten. Dazu kann bei solchen Mahlkörpern ggf. eine vorhandene Restbeschichtung entfernt werden und auch die Kernoberflächen mit den bereits beschriebenen Methoden (mechanische und/ oder chemische Aufrauhung und/ oder Aufbringen einer Primerschicht) vorbehandelt werden. Diese können dann in Form der verbleibenden hartmagnetischen Kerne der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung wieder zugeführt werden.The device according to the invention for producing the grinding media is also suitable for recoating grinding media that have already been used. For this purpose, any residual coating present on such grinding bodies can be removed and the core surfaces can also be pretreated using the methods already described (mechanical and/or chemical roughening and/or application of a primer layer). These can then be returned to the device according to the invention in the form of the remaining hard-magnetic cores.
Es wurde bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Mahlkörper zur Verwendung in elektromechanischen Zerkleinerungsanlagen zur Zerkleinerung, Deagglomeration und/oder Dispergierung von Wirkstoffen verwendet werden können, die in der Pharmazie, Biotechnologie und/oder Lebensmittelindustrie benötigt werden. Dies gilt ebenfalls für Kugelmühlen, wobei in diesem Fall die Mahlkörper vorher entmagnetisiert werden können.It has already been pointed out that the grinding media according to the invention can be used in electromechanical comminution systems for comminution, deagglomeration and/or dispersing of active ingredients which are required in pharmacy, biotechnology and/or the food industry. This also applies to ball mills, in which case the grinding media can be demagnetized beforehand.

Anstelle einer chemischen Oberflächenbehandlung ist auch eine mechanische Aufrauung, beispielsweise durch Schleifen, Sandstrahlen oder dergleichen, möglich.Instead of chemical surface treatment, mechanical roughening, for example by grinding, sandblasting or the like, is also possible.
Die Oberflächenbehandlung gemäß Erfindung führt zu einem Masseverlust geringer als 20 wt-%, so dass eine entsprechende Größenänderung der hartmagnetischen Kerne weniger als 5 % beträgt.The surface treatment according to the invention leads to a mass loss of less than 20% by weight, so that a corresponding change in size of the hard-magnetic cores is less than 5%.
Um die Haftfestigkeit weiterhin zu verbessern, kann eine Primerschicht aufgetragen werden, beispielsweise durch eine Silanisierung der Oberfläche der hartmagnetischen Kerne. Dies erlaubt die Ausbildung starker Bindungen zwischen Kernmaterial und Beschichtungsmaterial.In order to further improve the adhesive strength, a primer layer can be applied, for example by silanizing the surface of the hard-magnetic cores. This allows the formation of strong bonds between the core material and the coating material.
Erfolgt die Beschichtung mit einem Polymer, werden vorzugsweise organofunktionelle Silane verwendet. Diese besitzen eine funktionelle Gruppe -X, welche sich mit der Polymerschicht verbindet. Die Anbindung an das organische Material erfolgt über eine hydrolisierbare funktionelle Gruppe. Diese verbindet sich mit den -OH-Gruppen, die sich grundsätzlich auf anorganischen Werkstoffen befinden. Dadurch entstehen kovalente Bindungen mit dem anorganischen Substrat über eine Kondensationsreaktion. Bei der Auswahl des organofunktionellen Silans wird eine passende funktionelle Gruppe -X ausgewählt. Diese ist abhängig von dem verwendeten Polymer. Möglich Gruppen sind Amino (-NH2), Schwefel (-S), Glycidol (-C3H6O2) und Metacryloxi (-C4H5O2). Bei einer Polymerbeschichtung mit Polyamid sind Aminosilane geeignet.If the coating takes place with a polymer, organofunctional silanes are preferably used. These have a functional group -X, which connects to the polymer layer. The connection to the organic material takes place via a hydrolyzable functional group. This combines with the -OH groups, which are always found on inorganic materials. This creates covalent bonds with the inorganic substrate via a condensation reaction. In selecting the organofunctional silane, an appropriate -X functional group is selected. This depends on the polymer used. Possible groups are amino (-NH 2 ), sulfur (-S), glycidol (-C 3 H 6 O 2 ) and metacryloxy (-C 4 H 5 O 2 ). Aminosilanes are suitable for a polymer coating with polyamide.
Nach
Weitere verwendbare Beschichtungsmaterialien sind Polymere, die eine Schmelztemperatur unter der Curie-Temperatur der hartmagnetischen Kerne besitzen und durch Abkühlen oder durch reaktive Bestandteile aushärten können. Die entsprechenden Polymerpulver können aus einem reinen Stoff bestehen, mit Zusatzstoffen versetzt und zur Erzielung bestimmter Eigenschaften als Mischung (Master-Batches) verwendet werden. Beschichtungsmaterialien können auf Basis folgender Polymere hergestellt sein: Polyamid, Polypropylen, Polystyrol, Polyäther, Keton, Polyurethan, Epoxyharz und dergleichen. Die Beschichtungsmaterialien werden insbesondere danach ausgewählt, dass diese unterhalb der Curie-Temperatur des gewählten hartmagnetischen Kernmaterials aufschmelzbar sind, nach Aushärten ausreichend verschleißfest und für die Aufbereitung entsprechender Produkte (siehe die vorangehenden Ausführungen) zugelassen sind.Other coating materials that can be used are polymers that have a melting temperature below the Curie temperature of the hard magnetic cores and can harden by cooling or by reactive components. The corresponding polymer powders can consist of a pure substance, mixed with additives and used as a mixture (master batches) to achieve certain properties. Coating materials can be based on the following polymers: polyamide, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyether, ketone, polyurethane, epoxy resin and the like. The coating materials are selected in particular according to the fact that they can be melted below the Curie temperature of the selected hard magnetic core material, are sufficiently wear-resistant after curing and are approved for the processing of corresponding products (see the preceding statements).

Die zu beschichtenden hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 werden mit einer Magnetisierungsvorrichtung (nicht dargestellt) vorzugsweise bis zur Sättigung magnetisiert. Die Magnetisierung kann durch Impulsmagnetisierung erfolgen. Anschließend erfolgt eine Erwärmung der magnetisierten Kerne, z. B. in einem elektrisch beheizten Ofen, auf eine Temperatur, die im Reaktor 1 bei Kontakt mit Partikeln eines Beschichtungsmaterials 7 diese aufschmelzen lässt. Allerdings ist die Temperatur geringer als eine entsprechende Curie-Temperatur der hartmagnetischen Kerne.The hard-
Die Öffnung 2 dient der Zugabe von Beschichtungsmaterial, der erhitzten und magnetisierten hartmagnetischen Kerne sowie auch der Entnahme fertig beschichteter hartmagnetischer Kerne, d. h. der fertiggestellten Mahlkörper.The
Durch die untere Öffnung 3 kann ein Gasstrom eingeleitet werden, der bei Durchtritt durch den gasdurchlässigen Boden 4 von unten gleichmäßig über den Reaktorquerschnitt verteilt wird und eine Fluidisierung des dispersen Beschichtungsmaterials 7 unterstützt.A gas stream can be introduced through the
Das Beschichtungsmaterial ist beispielsweise Polyamidpulver mit einer Partikelgröße von d50 = 50µm und einer Schmelztemperatur von 176°C.The coating material is, for example, polyamide powder with a particle size of d 50 =50 μm and a melting point of 176.degree.
Oberhalb des gasdurchlässigen Bodens 4 befindet sich ein Magnetsystem 5 mit zwei Spulen 30, die den Reaktor umgeben. Durch das Magnetsystem und dessen zeit- und ortsabhängiges Magnetfeld ergibt sich ein sich zeitlich und örtlich ändernder Feldgradient, der die über die Öffnung 2 zugeführten, erhitzten und magnetisierten hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 fluidisiert.Above the gas-
Das disperse Beschichtungsmaterial 7 wird durch die Bewegung der hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 ebenfalls fluidisiert, wie auch durch den bereits oben beschriebenen Gasstrom. Bei Kontakt mit Oberflächen 24 der erwärmten hartmagnetischen Kerne schmilzt das Beschichtungsmaterial auf.The disperse
Es besteht weiterhin die Möglichkeit, das Beschichtungsmaterial zusätzlich zu erwärmen, indem beispielsweise ein über die Öffnung 3 zugeführte Gasstrom 8 und/oder in dem entsprechenden Bereich eine weitere Heizung 10 (siehe
Die sich insgesamt ergebende Temperatur des dispersen Beschichtungsmaterials 7 bestimmt bei konstanter Verweilzeit der hartmagnetischen Kerne im Reaktor 1 eine Dicke 23 der Beschichtung 28 auf den hartmagnetischen Kernen 6, siehe auch
Das Magnetsystem 5 nach
Bei den Spulen 30 des Magnetsystems 5 ist darauf zu achten, dass diese hinsichtlich Anzahl, Anordnung, Windungszahl und Ausführung durch Querschnittsform und Größe des Reaktors und der zur Fluidisierung der hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 erforderlichen Verteilung des magnetischen Vektorgradienten bestimmt sind. Für zylindrische Reaktoren sind beispielsweise solenoidale Spulensysteme einsetzbar. Es hat sich in diesem Zusammenhang als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Spulen scheibenartig ausgebildet sind.In the case of the

Das Magnetsystem 11 umfasst eine eisenlose Spule, die periodisch impulsartig mit einem Strom betrieben wird. Stromimpulshöhe und -dauer werden so gewählt, dass kurzzeitig ein den unteren Bereich der Schüttung der erhitzten magnetisierten hartmagnetischen Kerne 12 durchdringendes Magnetfeld entsteht, das in diesem Bereich magnetische Haltekräfte zwischen den Kernen aufhebt. In Folge der magnetischen Zugkraft des Magnetsystems 11 sowie der Schwerkraft fällt eine entsprechende Menge von hartmagnetischen Kernen über die Öffnung 32 als Ausgang in den Reaktor 1 ein, wobei im Trichter 9 verbliebene Kerne nachrutschen. Die zugeführte Menge der hartmagnetischen Kerne ist durch die Stromimpulshöhe und Impulsdauer einstellbar.The
Bei allen Ausführungsbeispielen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung werden die entsprechenden fertiggestellten Mahlkörper nach einer zur Beschichtung der fluidisierten hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 erforderlichen Verweilzeit aus dem Reaktor 1 abgeführt. Der Beschichtungsvorgang kann auch periodisch durchgeführt werden.In all exemplary embodiments of the device according to the invention, the corresponding finished grinding bodies are removed from the
Zur Mikrowellenerzeugung ist ein wassergekühlter Mikrowellengenerator 16 auf Halbleiterbasis mit einer je nach Prozessbehältergröße und deren Befüllung steuerbaren Leistung bis zu 1000 W bei 2,45 GHz einsetzbar.A water-cooled
Die zugeführte Mikrowellenleistung ist über eine Messung, faseroptisch, pyrometrisch oder dergleichen, einer Oberflächentemperatur der hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 steuerbar.The supplied microwave power can be controlled by measuring, fiber-optically, pyrometrically or the like, a surface temperature of the hard-
Eine entsprechende Ausgestaltung eines Reaktors 1 gewährleistet einerseits eine Beschichtung sehr kleiner (< 1 mm) hartmagnetischer Kerne 6, da solche bei Erhitzen vor und während des Eintritts in den Reaktor 1 in Folge ihrer geringen Wärmespeicherfähigkeit zu schnell abkühlen würden und andererseits eine bessere und reproduzierbare Beschichtungsqualität für alle Kerngrößen. Weiterhin können extern vorbehandelte, insbesondere vorbeschichtete nicht magnetisierte hartmagnetische Kerne, die in einer Vorstufe mit einer Beschichtungsstoff-Bindemittel-Suspension vorbeschichtet und auf die mittels bekannter Beschichtungsverfahren weitere Schichten als feste Filme aufgebracht wurden, anschließend magnetisiert dem Reaktor zugeführt werden. Danach können ohne weitere Zugabe von dispersem Beschichtungsmaterial im Reaktor die bereits vorhandenen Schichten zwecks Verbesserung der Homogenität und/oder der Oberflächenqualität aufgeschmolzen werden. Die Kerne können auch vor der Vorbeschichtung ggf. bereits vorbehandelt sein, siehe beispielsweise die vorangehend beschriebene Oberflächenbehandlung.A corresponding design of a
Der Ablauf der Beschichtungsvorgangs wird mittels Schrittkette in einer Steuerung, beispielsweise eines Programmable Logic Controllers 19, gesteuert. Unbeschichtete hartmagnetische Kerne 6 werden zuerst magnetisiert, abgewogen und in den Reaktor 1 gegeben. Dann wird das Magnetsystem 5 durch eine Steuerung 35 eingeschaltet, welches zur Bewegung und Fluidisierung der Kerne dient. Gleichzeitig wird der Mikrowellengenerator 16 zur Beheizung der hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 aktiviert. Dies erfolgt über Mikrowellenantennen 15 und Abgabe entsprechender Mikrowellen. Misst der Temperatursensor 17 das Erreichen einer Solltemperatur von z. B. 176°C, wird mittels einer Heizung 36 temperierte Luft als Gasstrom 8 zur Fluidisierung zugeführt und auch das Beschichtungspulver zugegeben. Anschließend erfolgt ein Halten der Solltemperatur gemäß Temperatursensor 17, beispielsweise für 3 min. Diese Zeit ist allerdings abhängig von der Reaktorgröße, der Einfüllmenge an hartmagnetischen Kernen, Kerngröße und angestrebter Schichtdicke. Die Solltemperatur wird so lange aufrechterhalten, bis ausreichend Beschichtungsmaterial auf die magnetisierten hartmagnetischen Kerne 6 aufgeschmolzen wurde. Nach Ablauf der entsprechenden Haltezeit werden der Mikrowellengenerator 16 sowie die Heizung 36 ausgeschaltet. Eine entsprechende Luftzufuhr als Gasstrom 8 wird zur Abkühlung weiter betrieben, bis ein entsprechender Sollwert bei dem Temperatursensor 17 unterschritten ist. Anschließend erfolgt eine Entnahme der beschichteten hartmagnetischen Kerne über die Öffnung 13 (siehe
Es wurde bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass die Mahlkörper 20 auch ggf. entmagnetisiert werden können. Dies gelingt in einem abklingenden Wechselfeld, das von einer Spule, die mit einer steuerbaren Wechselstromquelle - im einfachsten Fall ein Regeltrafo - betrieben wird. Das Wechselfeld muss mindestens die Sättigungsfeldstärke der hartmagnetischen Kerne erreichen und dann auf Null abklingen bzw. reduziert werden.It has already been pointed out that the grinding
Eine andere Möglichkeit zur Entmagnetisierung besteht darin, die Koerzitivfeldstärke der Polarisation der hartmagnetischen Kerne zu bestimmen, z. B. durch Aufnahme der Hysteresekurve mit einem Vibrationsmagnetometer, und dann mit einem mit Gleichstrom gespeisten Magnetsystem ein Gegenfeld dieser Stärke aufzubauen und auf die hartmagnetischen Kerne kurzzeitig einwirken zu lassen.Another way to demagnetize is to determine the coercivity of the polarization of the hard magnetic nuclei, e.g. B. by recording the hysteresis curve with a vibration magnetometer, and then using a magnet system fed with direct current to build up an opposing field of this strength and to let it act briefly on the hard magnetic cores.
