Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems has announced two new webinar programs on mineral processing.

Dry Processing Technology for Ultrafine Industrial Mineral Fillers to D50 = 0.9 µm will take place Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 2:00 pm EST.

In today’s mineral filler market the range of dry processing technology for ultrafine mineral powders can be confusing, particularly when the application demands on such minerals is sophisticated and the requested particle size has to touch almost the nano range. In addition to a certain powder fineness, often far below a top cut of 10 µm, an accurate particle size distribution, ultra sharp top cuts and often the preservation of particle shape, e.g. needle shape, has to be maintained.

This presentation focuses on today’s existing dry processing technologies for industrial mineral fillers, as well as the aspect of energy efficiency and “through life” cost efficiency. The program is designed for anyone processing mineral fillers but could be beneficial to anyone with a size reduction application. The program will run for 45 minutes and conclude with a short question and answer session.

Dry and Wet Micronization of Hard Industrial Minerals Down to the Nano Range will take place on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 2:00 pm EST.

Hard minerals, such as quartz, feldspar, and zircon sand, are widely used in the glass, ceramic, and porcelain industry. It is always a challenge not to increase the Fe2O3 content during processing. Highly wear protected machines, in order to avoid any increase of the Fe2O3 content, must be employed.

This presentation discusses suitable high-end dry and wet micronization systems for hard minerals for whole range of finenesses for standard ceramic applications, usually at finenesses of D97 = 45 to 100 µm, down to the nano sphere of 400 nm. The program is designed for anyone processing mineral fillers but could be beneficial to anyone with a size reduction application. The program will run for 45 minutes and conclude with a short question and answer session.
