Mills batch

For conventional wet processing of sheet steel, the porcelain enamel frit is ball-milled using clay, certain electrolytes, and water to form a stable suspension. This clay-supported slurry of small particles is called the sHp and has the consistency of a heavy cream. The ingredients of the mill batch are carefully controlled. The amount and purity of all materials in the mill, including the clay and water, affect the rheological character of the sHp as well as a number of the properties of the fined enamel such as chemical resistance, reflectance, gloss, color, and abrasion resistance. 

Beneficiation Ball and pebble mills, batch or continuous, offer considerable opportunity for combining a number of processing steps that include grinding [Underwood, Jnd. Eng. Chem., 30, 905 (1938)]. Mills followed by air classifiers can sei ve to separate components of mixtures because of differences in specific gravity and... 

It was concluded that the reaction mixture was thermally unstable if subjected to thermal initiation, and that temperatures of over 300°C were capable of attainment, when direct reaction between the metal oxides amd the chlorinated paraffins or their degradation products were possible. The origin of the heat energy necessary to increase the temperature of the milled batch from 55 to 91°C (the DSC-identified exotherm teperature) could not be identified [1],...

Milling can affect the adsorption of actives on the carrier surface by altering the surface properties of excipients. It was noticed that milled actives frequently failed blend uniformity criteria, but unmilled active batches consistently met the blend uniformity criteria. By adding lubricant magnesium stearate, the blending content uniformity of the milled batches can be significantly improved. A small amount of amorphous materials could affect the blending characteristics of a direct compression formulation. ... 

Mills batch logs into some 40 log sorts, in 20 mm diameter classes. Logs must be of uniform quality as it is impossible to turn the log and explore ways of maximizing recovery of the better grades of timber. The system favours medium-sized logs of about 360 mm diameter from naturally regenerated, second-growth forest.
