Star Burst, Sugino’s full line of wet jet milling devices, disperse, emulsify, pulverize, and reform surfaces of raw materials by obliquely colliding the particles pressurized up to 245 MPa at the relative velocity of Mach 4. Star Burst does not use any grinding media and can deliver homogenized particle size with minimal contamination. Star Burst can be customized based on client’s requirements and the materials being processed. This includes several chamber options that perform different functions.
The new Ultra-fine Slit Chamber has a narrower nozzle, delivering greater shear force than the current slit chamber. The updated design allows for faster and finer grinding, dispersion, and emulsification with minimal contamination.
Testing indicates that wet milling with the Ultra-fine Slit Chamber can pulverize graphene, CNT, and other materials finer than with conventional chambers. Current trials have achieved pulverization of some raw materials to 1/5 the size of the current slit chamber.
Compared to the Slit Chamber, the new Ultra-fine Slit Chamber achieved emulsification rates 400% faster, 26% smaller particles, and improved liquid transparency.
Particles and droplets can be reduced to sizes unachievable with conventional slit chambers, improving final product performance and fueling innovation.
The addition of the Ultra-fine Slit Chamber to Sugino’s Star Burst full lineup of wet micronization equipment extends their accommodation of processing specific materials. This newly introduced chamber is recommended for grinding, dispersing, and emulsifying various ceramics, pigments, cosmetics, and comestibles.
