Ball mills from LITech
… for efficient fine grinding
The LITech Rod and ball mills The R-BM series are essential devices for fine and ultra-fine grinding of a wide range of materials – from extremely hard and medium-hard to hard and very hard, brittle, fibrous, and soft samples. Thanks to their high performance and flexibility, they are used in commercial laboratories, industry, and universities where materials need to be prepared quickly and efficiently for subsequent analysis.
Operating principle of ball mills
Like all grinding media mills, the ball mill's principle is based on the continuous movement of the grinding media and the material to be ground. The grinding media—either in the form of balls or cylinders—move within the drum along with the material to be ground. This results in repeated impacts between the grinding media and between the grinding media and the inner walls of the mill. The material in the gaps is efficiently ground by this impact, making this process particularly suitable for materials with brittle fracture behavior.
