Product Details

This apparatus is designed for the crushing and grinding of materials like ores and other brittle substances, operating on the principle of compression and shear exerted by heavy rotating wheels. It is used to reduce solid feed into fine powders, simulating traditional milling processes on a laboratory scale for preparation and experimentation. The mill consists of one or more heavy wheels, often made of high manganese or chrome steel, which roll on their edges around a circular horizontal bed or pan. The material to be processed is fed into the center, and the rotation of the wheels, driven by a motor, crushes the feed through a combination of weight and friction. Scrapers continuously direct the material back into the grinding path to ensure uniform size reduction, after which the product is collected and can be sieved for further classification. Its primary applications are in mineral processing, ceramics, and chemical laboratories for sample preparation and small-scale production. The key benefit is its robust and effective crushing action, capable of handling hard, brittle materials and providing consistent particle size reduction through a simple yet durable mechanical process.
