How Does Water Impact Feed Flow Rules in Ball Screw Grinding Machines?

[thaiMOC]

Hi everyones.
It's lucky for me to know the 4room like that.I hope we can share our useful & professional knowledge about the major we study.For me,for instant,chemical engineering is my major!
First,let me introduce myself.My name ThaiBuiHuu,the 5-years student of HaNoi University of Technology.As i said before,my major is Chemical Engineering.
To prepare the graduate,i must protect some projects i chose before.And one of my projects is design the ball screw grinding machine.(It's not my biggest & last project).The feed is Apatit.The diameter of original feed is 5mm,anh the diameter of the end product is 0.075 mm.
In the process of designing,i got some trouble.I can not imagine the rule of feed's flow when water is appear in this process.Normanly,there are 2 rules of feed's flow in the drum of grinding machine:Fall rule & Layer rule...So please give me ur advice about 2 rules,thanks a lot.
By the way,to support our 4room,"the drawing of grinding machine" is one of my gift to every members.
Sorry for my poor english.!
AuRevoir!

Hello ThaiBuiHuu, it's great to see another chemical engineering student here! My name is and I am a chemical engineer with [Company/Institution]. I would be happy to share my knowledge and expertise with you and the other members of this forum.

Designing a ball screw grinding machine sounds like a challenging project. I have not personally worked on a similar project, but I have some suggestions that may help you with the feed flow issue you are facing.

Firstly, it is important to understand the properties of Apatite and how it behaves during the grinding process. This will help you determine the best approach for the feed flow. You may also want to consider the size and shape of the grinding media, as this can also affect the flow of the feed.

In terms of the two rules of feed flow in the drum of the grinding machine, the fall rule and layer rule, it is important to consider the viscosity of the feed and the rotational speed of the drum. The fall rule typically applies to more viscous materials, while the layer rule is more suitable for less viscous materials. However, it ultimately depends on the specific characteristics of the Apatite feed you are using.

I would also recommend conducting some experiments to test the flow of the Apatite feed in the presence of water. This will give you a better understanding of how the water affects the flow and will help you make any necessary adjustments to your design.

Lastly, thank you for offering to share your drawing of the grinding machine with us. It will definitely be helpful in visualizing the project and providing feedback.

Don't worry about your English, it is perfectly understandable. We are all here to learn and share knowledge, so please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. Good luck with your project!

Hello ThaiBuiHuu,

Thank you for sharing your experience with designing a ball screw grinding machine. It sounds like a challenging project, but I'm sure you will learn a lot from it.

As for your question about the rules of feed flow in the drum of the grinding machine, I believe it would depend on the type of grinding machine you are designing. For example, if it is a batch grinding machine, the fall rule would be more applicable as the feed would be loaded into the drum and then dropped as the drum rotates. On the other hand, if it is a continuous grinding machine, the layer rule would be more appropriate as the feed would continuously flow into the drum and be ground as it moves through the layers.

In terms of dealing with water in the process, it is important to consider the moisture content of the feed and how it may affect the grinding process. Too much moisture can cause the feed to stick together, resulting in uneven grinding or even clogging of the machine. It may be helpful to add a drying step before the grinding process to reduce the moisture content of the feed.

Thank you for offering to share your drawing of the grinding machine with our 4room. I'm sure it will be a valuable resource for everyone in our community. And don't worry about your English, it is perfectly understandable. Keep up the good work in your studies and good luck with your projects!
