Drum mills

For fine and ultra-fine grinding

5 5
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.

Special executions

n Grinding drum with ceramic or rubber lining for


metal-free crushing of products.
n Grinding drums with double jacket, for temperature
control of the drum mill via an external cooling/
heating system. Provided to this end is a shaft stub
with a rotary feedthrough for the heat transfer
medium. For pure heating of the drum mill, it can
be equipped with electric heating instead of the
double jacket.
n Hollow shaft with filter, for simulating the volatility
of grinding aids in laboratory drum mills.
n Continuous version of the drum mill with two hollow-
shafts with helical vanes for continuous material
feed and removal.

The mill weight and main dimensions may vary depending on the version concerned. The lining of the drum mill reduces the volume of the drum and thus the filling
with material to be ground corresponding to the lining thickness. Subject to technical alterations.
