Dry Ice for
Cold Grinding
Dry Ice is an ideal material for cold grinding or cryogenic grinding, a process that involves reducing the size of materials by exposing them to Dry Ice or liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures.
The cold temperatures of the Dry Ice help to break down the material without generating heat, allowing for the creation of highly uniform and fine particles. Moreover, the cold temperatures of the Dry Ice also prevent the material from melting or sticking to the grinding equipment, further increasing the efficiency of the process. During cold grinding, the material is put into a chamber, which is then flooded with Dry Ice, causing the material to become brittle and easy to grind.
Cold grinding with Dry Ice is used in a variety of industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and plastics. The process results in finer particles, which offer better product quality and improved characteristics, such as enhanced solubility, increased surface area, and improved flow properties.
