Mechanical grinding apparatus

Abstract

A mechanical grinding apparatus of the present invention, which includes a rotor supported by a rotary shaft and having a plurality of grooves defined on the outer peripheral surface thereof and a liner inserted to the outside of the rotor so as to form a desired gap between the liner and the rotor and having a plurality of grooves defined on the inner peripheral surface thereof for grinding a substance to be ground in the gap, is characterized in that the grooves of at least one of the rotor and the liner incline in a direction preventing the flow of the substance to be ground with respect to a direction parallel with a rotary shaft. Since the mechanical grinding apparatus of the present invention can make a ground substance having a small particle size, no large particles mixed therein and a sharp particle size distribution width at a high efficiency, the grinding apparatus is preferably applicable to powder composed of resin or mainly composed of resin to be finely ground.
