what is a stirred media mill

Stirred Mill - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

The stirred mills are charged with a media size of 10–12 mm and operated at a maximum tip speed of 3–8 m/s. The detritor mill, however, has a maximum tip speed of 11–12 m/s. Even though a finer ground product is obtained with higher speeds, a limit has to be imposed. This is to allow the separation of media and mineral particles at ...
