Carbon Black Milling Equipment
While carbon black is a popular additive used by numerous industries worldwide, manufacturers must pulverize the material before using it. At Pulva Corporation, we have the tools and industry knowledge necessary to process and make the most out of this versatile material.
What Is Carbon Black?
Carbon black is an essential ingredient in many rubbers, plastics, coatings and pigments. The material consists almost entirely of pure carbon, and it's the product of the incomplete combustion of gasoline, diesel fuel and other heavy petroleum products. The additive can also be the result of burning certain vegetable matter. Manufacturers create carbon black in a controlled furnace atmosphere where they add fuel to special gas steam hot enough to vaporize it.
Although carbon black has numerous industrial applications, it's mostly a colorant or reinforcing agent in tires. The material famously makes car tires stronger by increasing their life span and reducing the risk of thermal damage. Carbon black is also a common food coloring additive in Europe, Australia and New Zealand when made from vegetable fiber.
The Carbon Black Refinement Process
After the first stage in the manufacturing process, carbon black consists of fine particulates and larger clumps called grit. Manufacturers must then pulverize the grit before carbon black is viable as a functional additive.
Carbon black hammer mills and pulverizers are essential to the refinement process as they decrease grit levels and improve the product's overall performance. Carbon black grit reduction equipment works with industrial classifiers to reduce the amount of grit by pulverizing the material to a very fine level and separating large agglomerates.
Our Carbon Black Pulverizers & Grinding Machines
As the leading supplier of industrial carbon black milling equipment, we provide customers worldwide with the products they need to process nearly grit-free carbon black. At Pulva Corporation, our range of
PulvaSizer™
carbon black pulverizers allows you to grind materials to your desired level of fineness. You can process the material in batches, use a conveyor for continuous acceptance and choose screw feed inlets, gravity feed or
cryogenic feeder and grinding additions for even more grinding versatility.
Our pulverizers are available in a range of sizes and power capabilities, so you can choose one that meets your business needs for a carbon black grinding mill. The smallest model — the Pulvette Pulva-Sizer 3/4-1 1/2 HP — is perfect for pilot plants and smaller manufacturers. The larger Models D and F can handle lumps up to 6 inches in diameter and are ideal for high-production operations.
