Principle of Pulverization
■ Principle of Pulverization using Nanomizer
The fundamental principle of Nanomizer is to generate very minute flow channel of φ30 to 400 μm through an ultra-hard material made mainly of a single crystal diamond known as a generator. By forcing the specimen through the generator at a very high pressure of up to 200 MPa using a plunger pump, a high-speed flow is thereby generated. This pulverizes the specimen by creating a cavitation effect in addition to the physical forces of compression, shearing, impact and abrasion that are generated.
■ Generator Characteristics
A generator is made of an ultra-hard material consisting of mainly diamond with a very small opening (nozzle) of Φ30~400μm. There are several types of generators available and one of the commonly used “Collision Type” generator is shown in the diagrams below.

pulverization energy is concentrated at the collision point where the liquid flows collide in the internal drain. |

Highly-efficient generator structure that can be used for emulsification, dispersion or crushing purposes. In addition, there is no gushing flow after the nozzle in the generator. As the high-speed flow is generated and terminated all within the diamond nozzle, contamination and wear and tear outside of the nozzle is reduced drastically.
