Size Reduction Systems

OUTSTANDING EFFICIENCY AND VERSATILITY IN FINE
(1.0-45 MICRONS) GRINDING AND CLASSIFICATIONThe Jet-O-Mizer has been developed with many distinct design features to consume less power, provide agreater range of throughput (1 gram to 20,000 lb/hr)
and ensure exceptional finished product quality.
Thorough application engineering allows determination of the ideal operational conditions for yourprocess. Specific raw material characteristics and production requirements are integrated into a complete
Jet-O-Mizer system.
APPLICATIONS

HARD, ABRASIVE MATERIALS:
abrasives • minerals • ores
HEAT-SENSITIVE MATERIALS:
waxes • plastics • resins
SANITARY, STERILE APPLICATIONS:
pharmaceuticals • foods • cosmetics
AGRICULTURAL MATERIALS:
fungicides • herbicides • pesticides
VOLATILE MATERIALS:

Pictured above is Fluid Energy’s complete line of Jet-O-Mizers,
from R&D and pilot models, to full-scale production units.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Air, steam or gas is introduced into the Jet-O-Mizer
through specially designed nozzles to create a sonic orsupersonic grinding stream. Solid particles of raw
feed are injected into this violent, turbulent stream.
The high-velocity collisions that result provide thorough and effective pulverization of the feed into
smaller particles.
The particle stream leaving the reduction chamber
flows to the classification zone. As the stream enters
the classifier, the direction of flow is reversed.
Properly sized product is entrapped by the viscousdrag of the exiting flow and conveyed to collectionequipment.
Larger particles are recycled to the reductionchamber for further grinding.

Sanitary Jet-O-Mizers are designed to meet USDA andpharmaceutical guidelines for cleaning or sterilization. Units canbe designed for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.

High-Efficiency Chamber Design: The Jet-O-Mizer
grinding chamber features an inverted trapezoidal design,
which forces the circulating particles to concentrate at thenozzles. This unique design improves grinding efficiency
and reduces wear on chamber walls.

Combined Operations: In the Jet-O-Mizer system, grinding

The Jet-O-Mizer
employs an externally adjustable configuration. This feature
controls the velocity gradient to isolate the classification
process from the grinding chamber. This patented featureallows efficient control of particle size distribution for multiple products or specifications.

may be combined with other physical and chemical operations. This saves time, reduces energy and minimizes producthandling. While grinding, the Jet-O-Mizer can:• dry wet-feed• blend and mix ingredients• coat product with waxes, oils and dyes
• promote chemical reactions (such asoxidization, calcination and sublimation)• inhibit chemical reactions• free entrapped solvents

No Attritional Heat: The cooling effect of the grinding

Replaceable Protective Liners: Special alloy, polymer or

fluid completely offsets the slight heat generated duringgrinding. The Jet-O-Mizer system is routinely used togrind products with critical heat limitations.

ceramic liners minimize wear or build-up in strategic areasof the mill. This simplifies operation, extends the life ofmany components and prevents downtime.
