Application
The drum mills are used for fine and ultra-fine grinding
of brittle materials. Discontinuous operated drum mills
make, in addition to size reduction,
homogenization of the material
to be ground possible.
Function
Drum mills have a horizontal grinding drum rotating The discontinuous drum mills are charged through an
