STIRRED 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
Dec 05, 2014 The popularity of stirred media mills has risen in recent times. CITIC HIC has developed our own range of vertical stirred media mills to complement our conventional grinding mills range, research and development team in Australia and CHina constantly working improving technology and efficiency of the machine
Nov 30, 2016 Vertical stirred mills are typically loaded with smaller media, and part of this extra efficiency would be due to the increased specific surface of the smaller media and, consequently, an increase in

Jan 01, 2016 Vertical stirred mills are usually charged with media occupying 80% of the mill volume which is in sharp contrast to tumbling mills that are seldom charged more than 40% of their volumes to allow space for the tumbling action to develop. The stirred mills are charged with a media size of 10–12 mm and operated at a maximum tip speed of 3–8 m/s
Jun 01, 2020 Gravity-induced Stirred Mill – In these mills, media motion is driven by the rotation of a helical impeller; the speed is not sufficient to fully suspend the media, and so at the top of the helix, the media cascades downwards under gravity; this settling ensures that the media remains in intimate contact for efficient grinding, and leads to a
