What types of mills are used for dry and wet grinding?

Planetary Ball Mills are suitable for both dry and wet grinding, and they can also operate in suspension or inert gas. These mills are high-energy impact mills that primarily use grinding balls in rotating grinding bowls to comminute materials. They are versatile and can be used for mixing, homogenizing emulsions and pastes, and mechanical alloying in materials research.

Sample Mills, on the other hand, are specifically designed for dry grinding only.

Horizontal Mills are better suited for wet grinding. They consist of a horizontal tubular grinding chamber with an agitator shaft and disks. The energy transfer in these mills is from the disk to the fluid, and the product is sheared by the media surface rather than the disks. Advantages of horizontal mills in wet milling include efficient media use, minimal product loss, reduced process time, and consistent performance.

Grinding mills, including ball mills and hammermills, use friction generated by grinding media to break down materials. Ball mills have a rotating cylinder with grinding media such as steel balls or rods that smash into the material. Hammermills use numerous hammers encased in steel that rapidly revolve in a vertical plane. These mills are commonly used for grinding in various industries, with hammer mills being particularly popular on farms for grinding chaff and grain.
