Carsten Warnke, Georg Scherer and Udo Enderle, "Operational Modes of Agitator Bead Mills"

In industry, agitator bead mills are operated in different modes. Whether to use the passage, circulation or alternating method, for example, usually depends on the experience, preferences and options available to the operator. Up to now, there have been very few attempts to obtain an overview of the modes of operating agitator bead mills and substantiate it with calculations.

With this book, Carsten Warnke has managed to comprehensively convey to the technician the basic principles required to calculate residence time distributions for different grinding methods and combinations thereof. Thus it is possible to easily check actual test results and to base those results on mathematics. This provides a basis for comparison of the different modes of operation. The efficiency can be determined for each application and, allowing for local conditions, the suitable mode of operation established.

Subsequently, the two co-authors, Georg Scherer and Udo Enderle, describe the practical and technological aspects of agitator bead mills. Both the practical and technical sections are closely tied in with the basic theoretical principles. In addition, the effective implementation of the requirements of multi-pass and circulation operation during the development and engineering of innovative machines is demonstrated.

The book "Operational Modes of Agitator Bead Mills" can be ordered for € 33.00 (including shipping) from NETZSCH-Feinmahltechnik GmbH in Selb, Germany.
