The patented IsaMill is a transformation in grinding technology based on high intensity stirred milling. The IsaMill was developed for fine grained orebodies that needed a step change in processing efficiency to be economic. The IsaMill significantly reduces the energy requirement, and media and capital costs of fine grinding.

DetailsIsamill, produced by Xstrata Technology, and the SMD, produced by (Figure 1). A third mill, the Knel-son–Deswik mill (now the FLS stirred mill), is a relative newcomer to the stirred milling scene, having been developed through the 1990s and the early 2000s.[5] In all these mills, a bed of ceramic or sand is stirred at high speed.
Details"The IsaMill is a high intensity horizontal stirred mill utilizing small 2-6 mm ceramic grinding media for attrition grinding. Grinding duties range from feeds of up to 300 microns being ground to 40 microns and UFG grinds as fine as 5 microns.
DetailsA method of grinding a mineral-containing ore, which includes grinding the mineral-containing ore in a primary milling process and thereafter fine grinding the mineral-containing ore in a secondary ball-mill. A composite grinding medium comprising a mixture of steel balls and pebbles is used in the secondary ball-mill. The pebbles have an average size which is relatively …

DetailsIn the year 2000, Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) became the first external user of the technology with a 1.1 MW M3000 IsaMill™ installed to supplement the roaster capacity at its Gidji Processing Plant. The IsaMill™ was used to ultra-fine grind about 10 t/h of pyrite flotation concentrate to 10-12 µm prior to gold cyanide leaching.
DetailsIsaMill principles of operation Grinding mechanism The IsaMill™, as shown in Figure 1, is a horizontally stirred mill consisting of a series of 7-8 rotating grinding discs mounted on a cantilevered shaft THAT is driven through a motor and gearbox. The discs operate at tip speeds of 21-23 m/s, resulting in energy intensities of up to 300 kW/m3.

DetailsThe IsaMill is a stirred-medium grinding mill, in which the grinding medium and the ore being ground are stirred rather than being subjected to the tumbling action of older high-throughput mills (such as ball mills and rod mills ). Stirred mills often consist of stirrers mounted on a rotating shaft located along the central axis of the mill.
