LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Particle size reduction can present challenges to processors in a
variety of industries—including rubber, plastics, food, and
pharmaceuticals—particularly when working with heat-sensitive and
tough-to-mill materials. To help processors overcome some of these
challenges, Air Products (NYSE:APD) will share its cryogenic
grinding solutions through a free webinar, "The Fundamentals of
Cryogenic Grinding," on Wednesday, June
22, from 2-3 p.m. ET.
Air Products is a recognized leader in cryogenic technology
applications with more than 40 years of laboratory and plant
experience in cryogenic grinding. Through the interactive,
technical webinar, the company will discuss the fundamentals of
cryogenic grinding using liquid nitrogen, benefits and results of
cryogenic grinding, safety considerations, and equipment
requirements for cryogenics.
Participants will learn how cryogenic grinding using liquid
nitrogen can be a cost-effective way to grind more effectively and
efficiently. Exposing material to liquid nitrogen can help prevent
melting or decomposition, or achieve embrittlement, resulting in a
higher yield of particles in the desired target range, more uniform
particle size distribution, higher production rates, improved
product quality, and enhanced process safety due to nitrogen's
inertness.
With trial facilities located in Allentown, Pa. (U.S.) and Shanghai, China, Air Products can test a
customer's product on production-scale equipment to help determine
the feasibility of using cryogenics in their process, as well as to
help quantify the benefits versus cost.
