Tower mill and its application to fine grinding
The Tower mill is filled to a level with grinding media until developed power equals 80% of motor nameplate rating. In a 335.6-kW(450-hp)Tower mill, this amounts to about a 1.8-m (6-ft) depth of steel media out of a total Tower mill body height of 5.9 m (19.5 ft). Efficiency of the Tower mill depends on a

VXPmill for fine & ultra fine grinding | FL
There is a large gap between the tip speed and power intensity of the low-speed vertical mills and the high-speed horizontal mills. The VXP mill bridges the gap between high-speed and low-speed mills. The VXPmills are designed for fine and ultra fine grinding applications. In practice, the mill performs best when the feed has a normal distribution.
