In the mineral processing industry, selecting the right grinding mill equipment is crucial for achieving optimal efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and product quality. This article explores the top 5 grinding mill technologies that dominate modern mineral processing operations, with detailed technical comparisons and application scenarios.
For processing materials requiring micron-level fineness (45-5μm), the SCM Ultrafine Mill represents cutting-edge technology. Its vertical turbine classifier achieves precise particle size distribution with D97≤5μm capability.
| Key Parameters | Value |
|---|---|
| Input Size | ≤20mm |
| Output Fineness | 325-2500 mesh |
| Capacity | 0.5-25 ton/h |
| Energy Saving | 30% vs traditional mills |
Our SCM1250 model stands out for medium-scale operations with 2.5-14ton/h capacity and 185kW motor power. Its patented roller/ring design extends wear parts lifespan by 3x while maintaining ≤75dB noise levels.
MTW trapezium mills combine large capacity (3-45t/h) with intermediate fineness (600-45μm). The curved air duct design reduces turbulence for 15% higher energy efficiency compared to conventional designs.
LM vertical mills dominate large-scale processing with capacities up to 250t/h. Their compact design reduces footprint by 50% while integrated drying/grinding functions slash energy consumption by 40%.
| Model | Capacity (t/h) | Power (kW) | Fineness (μm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM130K | 10-28 | 200 | 170-40 |
| LM220K | 36-105 | 800 | 170-45 |
| LM280K | 50-170 | 1250 | 170-45 |
MTM mills feature intelligent spring pressure systems that automatically compensate for roller wear, maintaining consistent output quality throughout operation cycles.
Our MTM160 handles 9-22t/h with 132kW power, featuring 6 rollers and advanced vibration damping technology for ultra-stable operation below 80dB.
The workhorse of mineral grinding, ball mills deliver 0.074-0.8mm fineness with unmatched reliability. Modern designs achieve 300:1 size reduction ratios with ≤40% downtime rates.
Selecting grinding equipment requires balancing fineness requirements, capacity needs, and operational costs. For ultrafine applications, our SCM Ultrafine Mill delivers industry-leading energy efficiency, while the MTW Series provides optimal mid-range solutions.
