INTRODUCTION:
The term CRYOGENICS originates from Greek word which

means creation {or} production by means of cold.
Cryogenics is the study of very low temperature {or} the
production of the same, Liquid nitrogen is the most commonly
used element in Cryogenics & is legally purchasable around the
world.
Cryogenic Grinding technology can efficiently grind most tough
materials & can also facilitate Cryogenic recycling of tough
composite materials & multi component scrap.
The Cryogenic process also has a unique capability for recycling
difficult to separate composite materials.
PROBLEMS FACED IN CONVENTIONAL

GRINDING PROCESS:
High
heat generation.
Introduction of tensile residual stress.
Less tool life.
Clogging and Gumming of the mill.
Oxidation.
Loss of Enteric oil in Spice grinding.
Now.elimination of all these

problems are required..
But.
HOW..???
Here comes the necessity

of
CRYOGENIC
GRINDING
..also known as Freeze

Grinding
CRYOGENIE GRINDING TECHNOLOGY:
For pulverizing many materials,

Cryogenic Grinding Technology
increases productivity & lower power
cost.
Many elastic {or} soft materials
are very difficult to pulverize(crush
to fine particle),requiring long cycle
times & high power/energy
consumption.
Cryogenic grinding involves cooling
a material below its embrittlement
temperature with a cryogenic fluid,
typically liquid nitrogen.
After cooling, the material is fed into
an impact mill where it is reduced in
size primarily by brittle fracture.
WORKING OF CRYO-GRINDER:
Material is to be ground is cleaned

manually & fed into the hopper.
From the exit of the hopper the material
enters into the vibratory feeder, which is
positioned with a small inclination towards
the entry of the helical screw conveyor, It
has ability to control the fed rate.
Liquid nitrogen from the storage container
is sprayer into the screw conveyer, The
time of stay of material in the conveyer can
be maintained by varying the speed of the
drive i.e., conveyer drive.
The sensors monitors materials
temperature in the conveyer.
When the mill is running, the material gets
crushed between the studs & comes out
through an optional sieve as a ground
product.
To the bottom of the mill a collecting bin is
housed where the ground product gets
collected.
The vaporized nitrogen from the mill is
sucked by a centrifugal blower & through
the filter assembly is fed back to the mill,
And the cyclic process is continued.

MERITS & DE-MERITS:

MERITS:
Increased throughput & power saving.
Finer particle size.
More uniform particle distribution.
Lower grinding cost.
No heat generation.
Prevent oxidation.
DE-MERITS:
High power consumption.
High operation cost.
Maintenance cost is above the range.
Filtering of Screw Conveyer is Difficult.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION:
CryoGrinding of Steel;
The large amount of Heat is generated during machining/grinding at high
speed & feed rate raises the temperature at the cutting zones excessively.
To overcome this problem liquid Nitrogen is fed to the grinding spot.
Thermoplastics & Thermo sets;

To which Nylon, PVC, Polyethylene, synthetic rubber are commonly used in
powder form, but not limited to, a variety of applications such as
adhesives, powdered coatings, fillers & plastic sintering & molding.
Adhesives & waxes;

To avoid pliable & sticky of certain materials which is unable in
conventional grinding.
Explosives;
To grind the explosive materials(TNT) below their Ignition Temperature.
Spices;
To overcome the volatility of Etheric Oils (gives the taste & smell of
spices).
Hence We CAN CONCLUDE THAT....
