The importance of grinding media selection on stirred mill performance is well documented in the literature so both the media type (density) and volume fill were varied in the optimization program. Two media types were selected for trialing: zirconium silicate (SG 4.1) and ceria stabilized zirconium (SG 6.1).

I claim: 1. A stirred mill comprising: a container for containing grinding media and a material to be ground, said container having a longitudinal axis; an agitator arranged in said container along said longitudinal axis; and a restrictor plate arranged in said container, extending across said longitudinal axis and arranged to be positioned on top of the grinding media.

The stirred mill tests were performed at a grinding density of 72% solids, as opposed to dry grinding in the Bond ball mill procedure. Wet screening was used for −38 μm material, and dry screening for +38 μm material in sizing analysis for feed and product.

A pilot-scale grinding technology of ceramic medium stirred mill was proposed in this study. Based on the specific productivity and grinding efficiency, the appropriate grinding parameters were ascertained as follows: material ball ratio of 0.7, ceramic ball medium size ratio (10 mm: 15 mm: 20 mm = 3:2:5), stirring speed of 110 rpm, grinding concentration of 50%, and medium …

Outotec has won an order to deliver two energy-efficient Vertimill® VTM-4500 stirred mills to a gold mine in Australia. These vertical grinding mills will be the largest of their kind to be installed in Australia when the delivery occurs in 2021, the company says. The typical value for this type of an order is in the range of €10-15 ...

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.

Stirred milling technologies have firmly established themselves in concentrator circuits as energy-efficient alternatives to tumbling ball mills. High and continued increases in electricity costs, coupled with the ever-increasing power consumption by primary grinding circuits due to declining head grades of ore-bodies, provides a compelling case for these technologies.

Fig. 1 - Vertical stirred media mill (Outotec, 2012) Principle of operation The mill feed is pumped to the grinding chamber via the feed inlet at the bottom of the mill. During continuous operation, the slurry flow transfers upwards and passes through the rotating discs and into

mining industry is grinding the particles to 10 µm or less via high-speed stirred mills. The highest energy consumption in mining operation is consumed by a grind-ing processes, to achieve fine ground products that are reasonably liberated. e- Ther fore, research studies are focused on fine grinding operations, such as stirred mills.

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.

1.1 Grinding mechanism of a vertical mill with vane rotors STM/Outotec's HIGmill™ is a "stirred media" grinding mill where the stirred effect is caused by rotating vane grinding discs (rotors) together with stator rings situated on the shell. The shape of the mill offers a small footprint.
