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.
A 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.
Stirred mill technology dates back to 1928 where the idea to use "an agitator and spherical grinding media" was presented. The year 1948 saw the successful application of DuPont's "sand mill" for pigment grinding. Subsequent years have led to the development of different types of stirred mills spanning

A gas fluidized-bed stirred media mill is provided for comminuting solid ticles. The mill includes a housing enclosing a porous fluidizing gas diffuser plate, a baffled rotor and stator, a hollow drive shaft with lateral vents, and baffled gas exhaust exit ports. In operation, fluidizing gas is forced through the mill, fluidizing the raw material and milling media.

In the stirred media mill, the boron nitride particles are stressed between the grinding media leading to a size reduction due to delamination of sheets and/or breakage of the particles. The number mean particle size measured by sedimentation analysis using a disc centrifuge decreases stronger with growing grinding time if larger ZrO 2 grinding ...
Stirred media mill is a kind of size reduction equipment used for fine and ultra fine grinding. Stirred media mill consists of one cylindrical chamber in which grinding media (grinding beads/grinding balls) are filled at certain volume of the grinding chamber and a stirrer is used to make collision between the grinding media.

the liners or other steel balls. The most efficient grinding zone inside of a ball mill is known as the "kidney" because of its shape and it is efficient because the grinding media and particles are constantly in contact with one another and grind by attrition. Figure 2 shows the flow of the grinding media inside of a Vertimill®.
Specification. Grinding media is even distributed inside the grinding chamber, the final particle size is narrow distributed. ELE-NET0.1 discharging sieve is designed for superfine material, to ensure of large flow rate, and microbeads can be used at the same time; Selection of special material (zirconia / silicon carbide/hard alloy steel etc ...

STM developed the Vertical Regrind Mill (VRM) and released it to the minerals market in 2012. More 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 ...
Stirred media mills. Stirred media mills are usually constructed in the form of a cylindrical drum inside which there are a series of rods, arms or perforated discs which are rotated on a central shaft. The drum is loaded with grinding media, such as metal balls or glass sand.
The 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 ...
The 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.

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.
According to Blecher [5], stress intensity in stirred mill is a function of the density and size of the grinding media and the agitator tip speed. In this study, agitator speed is studied as a stress intensity control and the density of the ground mineral is addressed.
Grinding 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.
