Ball mill for dry comminution of hard materials
In various industrial processes, achieving ultrafine grinding of hard materials to the micron scale is often required. Challenges include preventing contamination and managing heat generation during comminution. Precise control over particle size and distribution is also critical in applications like powder coatings or pharmaceuticals.
Achieve ultrafine grinding with precision and reliability
The Super Orion S.O. from Hosokawa Alpine is a ball mill designed for dry comminution of hard materials, particularly useful for producing ultrafine particles below 10 micrometers. The grinding drum, supported on water-cooled, oil-lubricated journal bearings, features a lining made of tungsten carbide wear plates, or silex/ceramic elements for applications requiring iron-free processing. The mill’s loading with grinding media (balls) and its variable-speed drive allows for tailored milling operations. A downstream classifier can be integrated for closed-circuit operation, ensuring coarse particles are recirculated for further grinding. Available options such as a frequency converter and load cell system enhance operational precision and efficiency. Ideal for the chemicals, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
