What is the difference between a ball mill and a hammer mill?

A ball mill uses steel or ceramic balls inside a rotating cylinder for fine grinding of minerals, ceramics, and chemicals. A hammer mill uses high-speed rotating hammers to shatter brittle materials u2014 better for coarser grinding of spices, biomass, coal, and agricultural products.

What mesh size can a pulveriser achieve?

Industrial pulverisers can typically achieve 50 to 325 mesh (300u201345 microns) particle sizes, depending on feed material hardness, feed rate, and classifier settings.

What lining material is best for pharmaceutical ball mills?

Ceramic or polyurethane linings prevent metallic contamination. Alumina ceramic lining is the most common choice for pharmaceutical ball mills. For non-critical applications, manganese steel or rubber linings offer excellent wear resistance.

What materials can a hammer mill process?

Hammer mills process brittle, granular materials including spices, herbs, coal, sugar, salt, biomass, chemical granules, dried vegetables, and animal feed ingredients.
