For grinding test, a vertical shafted stirred mill which consists of AC motor and frequency inverter was employed. There are 16 pins with 9.6x34 mm size and hexagonal shape on the vertical shaft. Laboratory scale stirred mill body and its components are represented in Fig. 2. The bead filling ratio (J) was chosen as 40% for the grinding test.
The basic stirred mill consists of a grinding chamber filled with some grinding media (such as steel balls). The mill shell is stationary and the media are set into motion …
In addition, all the moving parts of SMD are enclosed, and it generates notably less noise when in operation than traditional grinding mills. Stirred media detritor Stirred media detritor (SMD) is a fluidized, vertical stirred mill designed for optimum grinding efficiency for fine and ultrafine grinding products.

Particle flow in a stirred mill was modeled using discrete element method, focusing on the effect of mill properties and stirrer configurations, such as particle-wall friction, the size of disc ...
While spherical media in tower mills has previously been studied, real grinding media shape in stirred mills can range from spherical (steel/ceramic balls) to highly non-spherical (sand or slag) resulting in very different media and grinding dynamics. Handling the contact mechanics of non-spherical particles is a challenge for numerical …
