DetailsThe attrition grinding action, vertical arrangement, and the finer media size distribution contribute to make stirred mills more energy efficient grinding machines. The Vertimill energy savings range from 30% to greater than 50% compared with traditional ball mills and the SMD energy savings are far greater than 50% of ball mill energy in fine grinds.
DetailsThe use of stirred-media mills for grinding into the micron and submicron size range is reviewed. Mill performance and energy efficiency are discussed in the context of mill mechanics as related to mill power, material transport and flow, and particle breakage mechanisms.
DetailsStirred 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
DetailsThe HIGmill® is a high intensity stirred-media grinding mill for fine and ultra-fine grinding. Initially designed for use in the industrial minerals sector, the HIGmill® has recently been used in metalliferous projects around the world. The HIGmill® can be advantageous due to a vertical design which minimises floor space requirements in plant and because it...
DetailsStirred media mills are widely used in the industry for fine grinding. Most of the applications work in wet mode, however dry grinding in stirred media mill comes forward more frequently nowadays. The present paper deals with the differences and similarities of the wet and dry grinding in stirred media
Detailssignificantly increasing grinding efficiency. Unlike tumbling mills, where comminution occurs from both impact and attrition grinding, in stirred media mills the particles suffer almost entirely attrition breakage between the beads. (Napier-Munn et al., 2005). In stirred mills there are no free-falling possibilities for grinding media, meaning that
DetailsAgitated media mills stir the grinding media to break down the target material into ultra-fine particles. The grinding media generally consists of spherical metallic or ceramic beads that are stirred into action by the agitator. Agitated media mills are designed in both vertical and horizontal configurations.
DetailsGrinding 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.
DetailsThe 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.
DetailsOperating 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
DetailsStirred media mills are used in numerous industries because of their high energy efficiency, fine and ultrafine grinding ability, and reduced contamination. In view of their growing importance, basic research on power characteristics of stirred media mills has been carried out [1,2]. In this
DetailsStirred media detritor (SMD) Stirred Media Detritor (SMD) is a fluidized, vertical stirred mill designed for optimum grinding efficiency for fine and ultrafine grinding products. SMDs have the capacity to operate continuously at full load power draw with no steel contamination of …

Stirred media Detritor (SMD)is a fluidized, vertical stirred mill designed for optimum grinding efficiency for fine and ultrafine grinding products.SMD'sfeed size is typically 80% passing 100 µm and finer, but it can also handle coarser materials in various applications.
DetailsStirred mills & Tower mills — simple, effective and cost efficient As lower ore grades and complex mineralogy are driving demand for more efficient fine grinding, you can depend on FL for a full range of fine-grinding mills designed for easy shipment, simple erection and trouble-free maintenance.
DetailsA 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.

DetailsMore than 60 of the stirred media grinding mills have been sold to mines in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. For fine and ultra-fine grinding applications, STM markets the technology under the name HIGmill through its exclusive partner, Outotec.
DetailsSTM's scope includes the design and delivery of one Vertical Power Mill VPM10 grinding mill, vertical stirred mill using ceramic grinding media, complete with its user-friendly control system and 1,600 kW drive system. The duty of the VPM mill is to grind 140 t/h of gold concentrate from 2 mm to P70 of 75 µm.
