Vibratory Ball Mills

Vibratory Ball Mills

Vibratory Ball Mills are Ball Mills that are ideal for low capacity grinding applications, mixing or dispersing materials such as paint pigments, or conditioning materials to provide special shape or surface preparation. The vibrating ball mill operates in open or closed circuit for wet or dry continuous grinding. Just about any feed size, 4 meshes or finer, can be handled quickly, easily, and economically.

In the grinding of paracetamol, lactose and sucrose in a vibratoryballmill, it is found that an equilibrium is rapidly attained due to the agglomeration of ground particles. The existence of this agglomerative phase of comminution has been extensively reported in the literature. This study investigates prolonged vibratoryball milling as a means of pharmaceutical granulation. The granules are produced from the agglomeration of very fine particles and become more compacted as comminution proceeds.
