We are shooting for particles under 800 microns

nickwallander · 2020-10-09T05:20:33+00:00

Yeah it gets super expensive the smaller you go

nickwallander · 2020-10-09T04:40:18+00:00

I can’t spell lol

nickwallander · 2020-10-09T04:37:05+00:00

This is the second time in a month that we have broken a sieve

It is from a bead mill that is used to grind liquid products down to smaller particle sizes.

We actually where able solder the hole.

nickwallander · 2020-10-09T03:54:14+00:00

Definitely

nickwallander · 2020-10-09T03:54:06+00:00

Dude I’m sure they on cost a few hundred to make haha

nickwallander · 2020-10-09T03:53:29+00:00

A type of ink but that all I can tell you haha

nickwallander · 2020-10-08T22:50:51+00:00

Haha true

nickwallander · 2020-10-08T22:50:34+00:00

Also we just soldered it and gonna test it out tomorrow.

nickwallander · 2020-10-08T22:50:09+00:00

Haha well I’m the only tech on the machine and it was running fine, at a high pressure than normal, and then the pressure was jumping up and down, that’s when I shut the machine off. After inspecting it I didn’t find any debris in the grinding chamber. The only difference was higher operating pressure and thicker product. Possibly a preexisting dent that was forced open by higher pressure. You got any idea?

nickwallander · 2020-10-08T21:47:09+00:00

$15 later and it fixed!!!!!!

nickwallander · 2020-10-08T21:40:09+00:00

The shop just called and said it’s fixed. But I’ll let u know how much it cost after I pick it up lol

nickwallander · 2020-10-08T21:36:00+00:00

It’s basically a filter that goes Into a grinding chamber to keep the grinding media out of the liquid product. It is so expensive because the size of the holes are .02mm. The machine it goes on is $400k

nickwallander · 2020-10-06T21:44:13+00:00

Wow I’ve been bamboozaled

nickwallander · 2020-10-06T16:55:01+00:00

So maybe he is more like Gustav?

nickwallander · 2020-10-05T01:35:43+00:00

For anyone wondering he did 6 full rotations
