AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for producing classifier wheels, rotors, and stators for comminution devices are inefficient in adapting to different applications and materials, leading to increased production costs and wear issues, particularly when handling sticky and fibrous goods, and require complex metal core integration for strength.

Method used

A method utilizing additive manufacturing (3D printing) to create customized classifier wheels and rotors with predeterminable properties, combining different materials and structures, allowing for optimized geometry and reduced inert mass, while ensuring uniform wear and extended service life, by determining material properties and expected abrasion patterns before production.

Benefits of technology

This approach enables cost-effective production of comminution device components with enhanced durability and reduced contamination risks, allowing for adaptive design and material selection to meet specific separation tasks, maintaining strength while minimizing abrasive material usage.

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel method for producing classifier wheels, stators or rotors for comminution devices, in particular classifier or impact mills, for grinding and homogenizing different, even clumpable and sticky products, wherein once the properties of the pulverulent, granular or fibrous products or product mixtures to be comminuted or separated are determined, a production data set for the constructive design of the stator, classifier wheel or rotor is determined on the basis of the anticipated abrasion or material properties of the products or product mixtures. The material or a material mixture is then defined and a material data set processed. On the basis of the respective production and material data sets, an additive manufacturing device, in particular a 3D printer, is commissioned, and the particular classifier wheel, stator or rotor with its predetermined use-typical properties is additively manufactured, with longer lifetimes and uniform wear in the monolithic construction with different, additively combined materials being achieved.
