What are Flint Pebbles?
Flint Pebbles are versatile pebbles that are often used as the attractive drainage medium around the buildings as well as in the inverted roofing to be able to hold downinsulation board. Also, they can be used for mulching. Grinding media is an essential factor in the ceramics as well as ground Sand production, that does influence both theproduct quality as well as manufacturing costs.
The flint pebbles are smooth in terms of appearance as well as naturally rounded by the sea.They are versatile, and they are often used as the attractive drainage medium around the buildings as well as inverted roofing to be able to hold down ]insulation board. Also, they can be used for mulching.
Flint pebbles have been used as media in the in-ball mills to be able to grind glazes as well as other raw materials for the ceramics industry. The pebbles are usually hand-selected based on the color; those that do have a tint of red, which does indicate a high level of iron content, are usually discarded. Remaining blue-grey stones usually have a low content of the chromophoric oxides; hence are usually deleterious to the color of the ceramic composition after firing.
Why are Flint pebbles used in ceramics industry grinding media?
There are very many reasons why flint pebbles are used in the ceramics industry in the grinding media. The Flint Pebbles does offer superior performance as the grinding media when compared to the natural pebble as a result of the higher hardness as well as, the higher resistance to abrasion. Another advantage is low pebble consumption.; 4.5 kg of the pebbles usually can be able to grid 1000 kilograms of the white ceramic body. You will be able to have a controlled size as well as shape.
