A wide range of grinding media types are used in stirred mills, however in the minerals industry the decision is usually driven by cost which has led to the use of coarse sand, granulated slag and sized ore. A common problem with low grade sand media is that it has internal flaws and tends to break rapidly.
اقرأ أكثرThe stirred media mill principle is the setting into motion of grinding media by means of a rotating agitator, which transfers kinetic energy to the media. The feed material (either dry or as slurry) is dispersed within the grinding media and is stressed mostly by pressure and friction between layers of media.
اقرأ أكثرGrinding Power efficiencies are achieved by filling of charge and smaller steel media (balls) used for fine grinding. Typically, stirred media mills use 25mm make-up balls, where conventional ball mills are using much larger grinding media. The popularity of stirred media mills has risen in recent times.
اقرأ أكثرOperating principle – fluidized-media stirred mills In contrast to the gravity-induced stirred mills, the fluidized mill type uses high rotational speeds of either impellers or discs to cause the suspension and complete mixing of the grinding media and slurry particles. The fluidization compels the slurry particles and grinding media to

اقرأ أكثرThe system is designed to allow changes to the distribution of the media and energy within the mill by changing the number and spacing between the impeller discs. Milling/Communication Process . The mills are designed to run at tip speeds between 10 and 15 m/s and are capable of operating with very dense grinding media.
اقرأ أكثرIn stirred media milling, a smaller grinding media size compared to a conventional ball mill makes high-speed movement possible, thus higher force on the ore particles trapped in media is applied. This is significant since as the particle size becomes smaller, the force needed to break the particles increases.
اقرأ أكثرSTIRRED MILLING TECHNOLOGY Mill structure The vertical stirred media grinding mill uses a grinding chamber filled with small beads whereby comminution takes place by attrition between the beads. The stirring effect is caused by rotating discs mounted on a shaft. There are also stationary discs on the mill body positioned in between each
اقرأ أكثرGrinding and energy input in stirred media mills are studied as functions of grinding time, stirring speed, media size and density, solid concentration, impeller and lank dimensions and design, and other relevant variables. Ground prOduct size and surface area are determined with respect to the above variables.

اقرأ أكثرStirred mill technology dates back to 1928 where the idea to use "an agitator and spherical grinding media" was presented. The year 1948 saw the successful application of DuPont's "sand mill" for pigment grinding. Subsequent years have led to the development of different types of stirred mills spanning
اقرأ أكثرFigure 10.1 shows the difference in energy efficiency between a laboratory ball mill and a stirred mill grinding a gold ore using 6 mm diameter alumina balls as media. At a fine grind size there is a clear advantage in energy consumption for a stirred mill over the tumbling mill. However, as the grind size coarsens, the difference in specific energy required to …

اقرأ أكثرStirred media Detritor (SMD) is a fluidized, vertical stirred mill designed for optimum grinding efficiency for fine and ultrafine grinding products. SMD's feed size is typically 80% passing 100 µm and finer, but it can also handle coarser materials in various applications.
اقرأ أكثرStirred Media Detritor (SMD) is a fluidized media grinding mill. It utilizes the rotational energy of the impeller arms to impart a high-energy motion to the media and slurry mixture inside the mill. This results in particle-to-particle shear and compressive forces that produce the desired grinding mechanism for fine grinding. Lower capital cost
