What safety precautions should be taken when using the Cyclonemill?

Safety precautions when using the Cyclone mill

1. Mechanical protection and preventing accidental contact

The machine uses a conical rotor and stator, and the rotor rotates at extremely high speeds. Before operation, ensure that the protective cover is securely closed. Do not allow hands, tools, or other objects to enter the working chamber.

During maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the power supply and lock the safety switch. Ensure that the rotor has come to a complete stop before disassembly or assembly.

2. Temperature control and preventing overheating

Although the Cyclone mill offers the advantages of high ventilation volume and low temperature rise, localized temperature rise may occur during continuous operation or when processing high-viscosity or heat-sensitive materials.

The machine body temperature must be monitored in real time. If necessary, adjust the rotor-stator gap or increase the cooling air volume to reduce the temperature to prevent overheating and decomposition of the material, which could create safety hazards.

3. Dust and gas protection

The ultra-fine grinding process generates a large amount of fine dust, which can easily form a flammable or hazardous dust cloud. The operation site should be equipped with an effective exhaust system and explosion-proof and dust-proof devices. Workers must wear dust masks or respiratory protection to avoid respiratory irritation caused by inhalation of dust.
4. Operation Training and Emergency Plan

All operators must receive professional training and be familiar with the equipment structure, gap adjustment methods, and emergency shutdown procedures.
Emergency facilities such as fire extinguishers and first aid kits should be available on site, and a detailed emergency response process should be established to ensure rapid response in the event of an emergency.
How does the Cyclone mill's circulating cooling and centrifugal separation mechanism affect sample moisture retention?

1. Circulating cooling reduces temperature rise and inhibits water evaporation.

High ventilation volume within the equipment achieves efficient circulating cooling, rapidly dissipating heat generated during the pulverization process.

The low operating temperature significantly slows the evaporation rate of water in the sample, maintaining the original moisture content. This is particularly suitable for heat-sensitive materials or those that require moisture retention.
2. Centrifugal separation rapidly separates solids and liquids, improving moisture retention.

The high-speed rotation of the rotor generates strong centrifugal force, rapidly separating fine powder from the airflow or liquid, and quickly removing solid particles. Because the separation process is extremely rapid, the sample's residence time in the centrifuge is extremely short, further reducing moisture loss caused by prolonged exposure to high-temperature air.

3. Uniform product particle size ensures uniform moisture distribution

Using the rotor-stator gap for uniform pulverization, each particle is of similar size, resulting in a more uniform internal moisture distribution.

Uniform particle size facilitates balanced moisture control during subsequent drying or packaging processes, improving product quality and consistency.

4. Advantages for Heat-Sensitive Materials

The dual effects of low temperature and rapid centrifugation maximize the preservation of moisture and structural properties when processing temperature-sensitive materials such as PVA and natural graphite.

This is a key technical advantage that has made the Cyclone mill widely adopted in high-dispersion, low-temperature pulverization applications, such as for lithium battery anode materials.
