1. Raw material screening: In the chemical production process, the quality and particle size of the raw materials directly affect the progress of the chemical reaction and the quality of the product. The ballistic screen is widely used in the screening of various chemical raw materials. It can accurately grade raw materials of different particle sizes according to production needs. For example, in plastic production, before entering the production line, the plastic granule raw materials are screened by the ballistic screen to remove the oversized or undersized particles, ensuring that the plastic granules entering the production process are uniform in particle size. This is conducive to ensuring the stability of performance indicators such as density and strength of plastic products during the plastic molding process, improving product quality, and reducing the defective rate.

Product grading: After the production of chemical products is completed, in order to meet the diverse needs of different customers, the products need to be graded. The ballistic screen plays an important role in this link. It can accurately classify chemical products into different grades according to the particle size of the product. Taking fertilizer production as an example, the produced fertilizer particles are screened by the ballistic screen and divided into different sizes. Small-particle fertilizers are suitable for foliar fertilization and can be quickly absorbed by plants; large-particle fertilizers are more suitable for soil base fertilizers, and the fertilizer effect is long-lasting. Through this grading process, chemical products can better meet market demand and improve the market competitiveness of products.

2. Food field

Raw material screening: The source of food production lies in the quality control of raw materials. The ballistic screen performs well in screening raw materials such as flour, powdered sugar, and grains. It can effectively remove impurities in these raw materials, such as stones, metal debris, moldy particles, etc., and at the same time screen out particles that do not meet the particle size requirements, ensuring that the raw materials entering the production link are of high purity and uniform particle size. For example, in flour processing, the flour screened by the ballistic screen has fine powder and few impurities, which provides a high-quality raw material basis for making high-quality pasta products and ensures the taste and safety of food.

Finished product screening: In the final stage of food production, the appearance quality and uniformity of the product are crucial. The ballistic screen is used to screen some granular or block foods, and can accurately grade the food according to size, shape, etc. In nut production, nuts of different sizes are accurately separated by screening with the ballistic screen. Large-grained nuts can be sold as high-end gift packages, and small-grained nuts can be used to make nut crumbs, nut butter and other products. This grading process unifies the specifications of food products, improves the appearance quality and market competitiveness of products, and meets consumers' demand for foods of different qualities.

3. Pharmaceutical field

Pharmaceutical powder screening: Pharmaceutical production has extremely high requirements for quality and stability. The uniformity of the particle size of pharmaceutical powder directly affects the quality and efficacy of the drug. The ballistic screen plays a key role in the screening of pharmaceutical powders. It can accurately screen the powdered raw materials or intermediates in the pharmaceutical production process to ensure that the particle size of the pharmaceutical powder is uniform. In the pharmaceutical mixing process, powders with uniform particle size can be fully mixed to ensure the consistency of the pharmaceutical ingredients; in subsequent processing steps such as tableting, uniform powder particle size is conducive to ensuring the quality indicators such as tablet hardness and dissolution, thereby ensuring the quality and stability of the medicine and providing patients with safe and effective medicines.

Granule screening: Granules are one of the common pharmaceutical dosage forms, and their particle size has an important impact on the efficacy and convenience of the medicine. The ballistic screen is used to screen the prepared granular medicines, and can strictly classify the granules according to the particle size so that the particle size of the medicine meets the specified standards. Small-particle granules are suitable for children or patients with difficulty swallowing, while large-particle granules can ensure the slow release of the drug in the body and prolong the efficacy. Through the screening process of the ballistic screen, the quality of granular medicines is effectively guaranteed, which improves the efficacy of the medicine and the patient's medication experience.
