Fine grinding, to P80 sizes as low as 7 μm, is becoming increasingly important as mines treat ores with smaller liberation sizes. This grinding is typically done using stirred mills such as the Isamill or Stirred Media Detritor. While fine grinding consumes less energy than primary grinding, it can still account for a substantial part of a …

The mill consists of a cylindrical drum, sometimes tapered at one end, and usually has a charge of steel balls (up to 40% by volume) ranging in size up to 125mm for larger mills. Product size can be as small as 0.005mm, but product size is dependant upon the time the charge spends in the grinding zone and therefore the reduction rate is a ...

Stirred mills are compressive grinding mills with potential in the mineral- and cement-based processing industries for reducing the particle size from a few millimetres to a micron. Each ore has a preferred particle size for economic reasons; too fine a grind and grinding expenses surpass any increase in recovery, whereas too coarse a grind and ...

The design characteristics of industrial rod mills are similar to ball mills. Most rod mills used in mineral processing are of the overflow discharge type as illustrated in Figure 7.2 a. Centre peripheral (Figure 7.2 c) and end peripheral discharge mills (Figure 8.1) are also in use. The feed end is generally fitted with spout feeders, scoop ...
