Milling and sieving is often used in pharmaceutical materials processing, and other industries benefit from the ability to mill particles with minimal impact on the integrity or desirable properties of materials being milled. ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) allows for a unique milling and sieving system, one that does not rely on additives. RAM technology is unique in that it can operate effectively without milling media. This allows for the milling of materials normally too delicate for more traditional methods. It also eliminates undesired reactions between the processed materials and milling media, as is common with stainless steel grinding media. Here’s how RAM assists in achieving finer particle sizes or milling: - Enhanced Material Breakdown: The sound waves generated by RAM create vibrations that break up solid materials, reducing particle size, improving the milling process by assisting in the even distribution of forces. - Reducing Agglomeration: When milling fine powders, materials can form lumps or agglomerates. RAM reduces this issue by ensuring uniform dispersion and breaking up the clumps. The RAM platform's rapid, 60Hz motion causes each particle to randomly collide with adjacent particles, diverting their paths, colliding and re-colliding with other particles behaving in equally chaotic fashion.
