Vertical stirred mills have stationary walls [24,51]. The tension energy for comminution comes from a spindle with perforated discs that rotate quickly in the centre of the system. The perforations of the discs are designed to direct the slurry toward the discharge end. ... Stirred ball mills, in contrast, feature a high-speed rotor and an ...
Oliveira et al. [36] employed a mechanical mill model originally developed for ball mills and utilized the DEM to simulate the grinding process in a vertical stirred mill. Rhymer et al.

Vertimill developed by is a vertical stirred media mill (Bergerman and Delbony, 2014) with helical low speed screw or pins which are responsible for moving the ball charge. The screw action pulls the ball charge up the center, and the charge eventually cascades over the edge of the screw.
The present work applies the mechanistic mill model approach originally developed for ball mills by the UFRJ research group to the description of batch grinding in a pilot-scale vertical stirred mill. The model is used in its original form (Carvalho and Tavares, 2013) and predictions are compared to grinding of two materials at different ...
