T he Vertimill ® stirred grinding mill technology is globally recognized as a leading solution for energyefficient grinding. Compared to traditional technology, operators can typically save up to 3035% of the electrical energy and grinding media consumption. A small footprint and easy installation are also big advantages," says Graham ...
Fine grinding, to P80 sizes as low as 7 μm, is becoming increasingly important as mines treat ores with smaller liberation sizes. This grinding is typically done using stirred mills such as the Isamill or Stirred Media Detritor. While fine grinding consumes less energy than primary grinding, it can still account for a substantial part of a mill's energy budget. Overall energy use and media ...

TOWER AND VERTI MILL. The Tower and Vertimill are low speed vertical stirred grinding mills, which commonly use steel balls as the grinding media (Figure 1). The Tower mill was developed in Japan in the 1950's by the Japan Tower Mill Company Ltd, later renamed the Kubota Tower Mill Corporation, KTM.
Grinding takes place in more "open" space which makes the retention time longer and adjustable compared to crushers.

feature of the tower mill is a central agitator screw, the only moving machine component in contact with the slurry and steel media, which allows size reduction by attrition. This arrangement reduces energy consumption in fine grinding of minerals by 25% to 50% when compared to traditional horizontal ball mills for the same feed and product size.
The Vertimill® is capable of handling feed sizes up to 6 mm and grinding to a product size of less than 20 microns, and has standard mill sizes ranging from 15HP (11kW) to 4500HP (3352 kW). Mechanically, the Vertmill® is a very simple machine with an agitating screw suspended into the grinding

1. Fine grinding in the mining industry. It has been estimated that approximately 2% of the world's energy usage is applied to mineral comminution, and around a quarter of this is used specifically in metalliferous ore grinding [1] where it is typically the most energy intensive set of operations [2].The purpose of comminution in ore processing is to reduce particle size in ...
The TowerMill® was developed in Japan in the 1950s, by the Tower Mill Kubota Corporation, for applications in fine and ultrafine grinding, and it was the first vertical mill used in the mineral industry (Stief et al., 1987).The Vertimill™, manufactured by Metso has basically the same principle of operation and was introduced in the 1990's (Kalra, 1999).
The Metso VERTIMILL® (VTM) is a low intensity stirred mill with a tip speed of 3 m/s. These have been installed in a wide range of secondary, tertiary and regrinding duties receiving feed from AG, SAG and ball mills. More than 400 VertiMill® have been installed globally with total installed power of 227 MW.
In fact, in the same application a Vertimill® has 50% less footprint than a ball mill. Lower operating cost Vertimill® is an energy efficient grinding machine. They tend to grind more efficiently than, for example, ball mills with feeds as coarse as 6 mm to products finer than 20 microns. This provides up to a 40% higher energy efficiency.
The Vertimill™ is a vertical agitated media mill with a doublehelical steel screw agitator located centrally in a vertical cylindrical screw agitator lifts the media and circulates it throughout the mill. The higher efficiency of the Vertimill™ is due to the higher frequency of lower energy impacts and, by the same token, smaller frequency of higher energy impacts when compared ...
Mechanically, Vertimill® is a simple machine with an agitating screw suspended into the grinding chamber, supported by It is capable of handling a wide range of feed sizes typically spherical roller bearings and driven by a fixed speed motor from 400 to 90 microns. through a planetary gearbox.
cent to 40 per cent compared to 25 mm media. A regrind ball mill with a mix of small grinding media can be as energy effi cient as an Isa Mill charged with and mm beads. In vertical stirred mills, energy savings vary from 30 per cent to 60 per cent. To carry out the same fi nal grind, a vertical stirred mill with Millpebs will consume ...
Varied types/geometries of stirred mills have been produced by different manufacturers, and the comparison task has been accomplished for some of the technologies,, Tower mill vs IsaMill. However, the main drawbacks of these comparisons were the uncommon characteristics of the milling environment, such as media size. In this study, HIGMill and IsaMill, which were vertically and ...
and mill discharge classifier are all very similar to the full scale operation. Therefore the feed particles "see" the same grinding and classification mechanisms as they do at full scale. Because the grinding media is small relative to the test unit, mill shell effects are minor, as demonstrated by the 1:1 scaleup performance.
This paper presents some of the important aspects of stirred milling operation discussed in the literature and not commonly known within the mining industry: grinding media motion, active grinding volume, wear of grinding media and energy transfer, stress intensity, scaleup issues and flow limitations.
Metso's VERTIMILL Vertical Grinding Mill can bring up to 40% savings in energy consumption compared to more traditional grinding mills while enabling excelle...
The mill consists of two operational zones as illustrated in Fig. 1: classification (blue) and grinding (red). The bottom part of the mill contains both grinding media and ore particles that are located at the grinding zone. In the grinding zone, a constant flow between media and particles promotes grinding, creating finer particles.
The data also showed that the grinding circuit (with a Vertimill for secondary grinding duty) is more energy efficient than a conventional circuit that has a ball mill for secondary grinding duty. INTRODUCTION. A rich silver, lead, zinc deposit located in Queensland, Australia was discovered in June 1990.
The ball mill operates with 25 mm grinding balls. The operational solid percentage of both mills is between 78 and 80%. Samarco's process team reports a reduction of approximately 30% in specific energy consumption of the Vertimill, when compared to tubular ball mills, for the same grinding job.

ABSTRACT Fine grinding of metalliferous ores has become increasingly important for the Australian mining industry, as many of the remaining orebodies are very finegrained and refractory. It is however an energy intensive process and as conventional equipment is not capable of providing
Vertical roller mills can have lower power than ball mills in most applications for dry grinding. One comment that I did not see here is the potential for differential grinding, especially in vertical mills, but also in ball mills. That is when intergrinding different materials, the softer materials tend to be ground finer.
