A ceramic mill, also known as a ceramic lined mill, is a type of ball mill that is used for size reducing or milling hard materials such as minerals, glass, advanced ceramics, and semiconductor materials. It can reduce the size of these materials to 1 micron or less.
Ceramic lined mills are designed with a rotating cylindrical container, known as a jar, which is partially filled with grinding media or balls. These balls can be made of different materials such as ceramic, stainless steel, or flint pebbles. As the mill rotates, the solids are trapped between the balls and are milled down to a fine powder by the cascading and tumbling action of the ball charge.
The milling process can be performed either wet or dry. The choice of milling jar material depends on the specific application and the desired end product. Carbon steel, stainless steel, ceramic, polyurethane lined, and natural rubber lined jars are available.
In addition to ceramic lined mills, there are also laboratory jar rolling mills available. These mills are electrically driven roller mechanisms that spin or rotate milling jars. They are used for wet or dry size reduction or dispersing. The milling jar is half filled with grinding media or balls, and as the mill rotates, the solids are milled down to as little as 1 micron.
The laboratory jar rolling mill can accommodate different size jars and grinding conditions. It has two or three 24-inch long rollers with a variable speed drive. The capacity of the mill can be doubled by adding a third roller. The jars used in this type of mill can range in size from 0.1 to 5 usg.
Overall, ceramic mills, including ceramic lined mills and laboratory jar rolling mills, are versatile tools used in the laboratory for grinding a wide range of materials such as soil, waste, chemical products, drugs, grains, seeds, plants, tissues, hair, bones, plastics, ceramics, minerals, textiles, and wool. They are particularly useful for grinding materials that are difficult to reduce to a fine powder using other methods.
