Certain grinding machines, such as centrifugal mills, make use of the centrifugal force principle. In a centrifugal mill, the talc is placed in a rotating chamber. As the chamber rotates at high speeds, centrifugal force is generated. This force presses the talc particles against the inner walls of the chamber or against grinding media (such as balls).
The continuous impact and abrasion between the talc particles, the grinding media, and the inner walls of the chamber lead to the grinding of the talc. By adjusting the speed of rotation of the chamber, operators can control the intensity of the grinding process. Higher rotational speeds generate greater centrifugal force, resulting in more aggressive grinding and potentially finer - sized talcum powder.

Higher rotational speeds generate greater centrifugal force, resulting in more aggressive grinding and potentially finer - sized talcum powder.
In modern talcum powder grinding technology, fluid - energy - assisted grinding techniques, such as those used in jet mills, are becoming increasingly popular. In a jet mill, a high - velocity stream of gas (usually compressed air or an inert gas) is used to carry the talc particles. The particles are then directed towards a target surface or made to collide with each other at high speeds.
The kinetic energy of the fluid and the particles causes them to break apart, achieving fine grinding. This method is particularly suitable for producing ultra - fine talcum powders. Fluid - energy - assisted grinding offers advantages like the ability to produce very fine particles with a narrow particle size distribution and can be carried out at relatively low temperatures, which helps preserve the chemical and physical properties of the talc.

In summary, talcum powder grinding machines utilize a combination of these working principles, depending on their design and the specific requirements of the grinding process. Each principle contributes to the efficient transformation of raw talc into the desired fine - grained talcum powder, meeting the diverse needs of various industries.
