Stirred Milling Technology – A New Concept in Fine Grinding
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 impact action does not occur. The bead size is small, typically 1 to 6 mm
Stirred mills - for wet grinding - Metso Outotec
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 the product. They are suitable for both open- and closed-circuit operation.
Stirred Media Detritors (SMD) - Metso Outotec
Stirred 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
