Ball mill for dry grinding BMX-400

BMX-400 – ball mill for dry grinding

At Comex, we have developed a new dry milling system with a ball mill working with an air classifier in a closed circuit. The system we propose is intended for laboratory use. We have created a compact device that requires little input material. The control system provides fully automatic operation with registration of almost all operating parameters in the PLC system.

The throughput of such a system is typically in the range of several kilograms per hour, giving you considerable flexibility when working with small batches of material, various settings and operating parameters. The system can also simulate conditions in large industrial mills by setting the required process temperature to 120°C.

In addition, you can measure the particle size distribution in different parts of the system with an on-line analyzer. In this way, you will ensure constant control of the manufactured product. All parameters are recorded and can be exported to XL or another program after testing.

Dry grinding systems: challenges

Dry grinding systems that use ball mills are typically very complex and intricate. They often include closed-circuit ball mills with an air classifier. Such arrangements often require significant investments in mechanical equipment. The equipment itself must be equipped with advanced instrumentation, used for optimization. In addition, the research work carried out in such grinding systems is very complex and requires long, several hours of grinding. All of this results in dry milling systems consuming large amounts of input material.
