Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of ball mills, in particular to a ball mill for constant-temperature grinding of slurry. Background Art

[0002] The production of chocolate usually requires the raw cocoa beans to go through a series of production and processing processes such as roasting, crushing, blending, grinding, refining, and deacidification to produce the chocolate that the market demands. In the grinding process, some existing technologies will use fine grinders for processing. However, the shortcomings of fine grinders such as high energy consumption, low output, high noise, complex use, and difficult cleaning will greatly affect the customer's production efficiency. Therefore, ball mills are usually used to replace fine grinders for grinding. The upper part of the grinding machine's cylinder is the mixing area, where blades at different angles ensure the mixing effect. The lower part of the cylinder is divided into a grinding area, which contains high-quality steel balls. With the help of the main shaft rotation, the steel balls collide with each other, so that the medium achieves a fine grinding effect. During the grinding process, the ground material usually needs to be returned to the mixing area for grinding again. The reciprocating grinding is to ensure the grinding quality.
