Device And Method For A Temperature-Optimized Mechanochemical Activation
Patent No. EP4584021 (titled "Device And Method For A Temperature-Optimized Mechanochemical Activation") was filed by Schwenk Zement on Oct 2, 2024. The application was issued on Sep 24, 2025.
Patent Summary
Mechanical clay mill that prevents overheating by adjusting drive power and feed rate based on real-time temperature. A sensor monitors the material or housing to stop excessive heat that wastes energy and damages properties. The controller automatically increases grinding energy when the material is too cool and reduces it when too hot. This keeps the process in the optimal activation zone without needing high-temperature calcination.
