Abstract
A process for preparing ground resin particles is provided by modifying a jet mill with opposed fluidized bed. By using a jet mill having a plurality of jet nozzles disposed at predetermined positions in a barrel of a grinding chamber toward the injection point of the grinding chamber and a bottom wall having a flat surface in part or in whole, parallel to the jet nozzles, or having a conical projection immediately below the injection point, resin particles to be ground are jetted with or without water, thereby being ground to obtain ground resin particles of an intended particle size.
Claims7
A process for preparing ground resin particles by using a jet mill having
- a plurality of jet nozzles disposed at predetermined positions in a barrel of a grinding chamber toward the injection point located in the grinding chamber, and
- a bottom wall having a flat surface in part or in whole, parallel to the jet nozzles,
- the process comprising steps of:
- jetting compressed air toward the central axis of the grinding chamber through the jet nozzles disposed in the grinding chamber while resin particles consisting essentially of polytetrafluoroethylene to be ground are fluidized and continuously supplied from the top or the bottom of the grinding chamber, thereby colliding the resin particles to be ground with each other to grind the resin particles;
- and
- collecting ground resin particles having an intended particle size.

- and
- collecting ground resin particles having a desired particle size,
- wherein the resin particles to be ground are associated with water and consist essentially of polytetrafluoroethylene resin particles.
