The GUNT Ball Mill Trainer provides a practical introduction to the comminution process using rotating drums filled with milling balls. The unit allows users to observe various motion states—such as cascade and cataract—through transparent drum fronts. Material (e.g., limestone) and milling balls are loaded into the drums, which are supported by a drive roller and a freely adjustable loose roller. With variable rotation speeds, the trainer demonstrates different grinding effects and critical speed conditions. The digital display shows real-time power consumption for comparing theoretical and actual power requirements.
Product Features
- Rotating ball mill trainer for demonstrating comminution processes
- Drums can be opened at the front for easy loading of material and milling balls
- Recommended for milling limestone and other suitable materials
- Mounted on a drive roller and an adjustable loose roller to vary spacing
- At low speeds, cascade motion occurs as balls roll over the material
- At higher speeds, cataract motion causes balls to drop onto the material
- Critical speed demonstration where comminution ceases due to centrifugal force
- Transparent front on the drums allows visual observation of motion types
- Digital power meter shows real-time power consumption of the drive motor
- Supports comparison of theoretical and actual power requirements
- Compatible with CE 264 analytical screening machine for post-milling evaluation
Benefits
- Hands-on understanding of grinding principles and motion states
- Observe cascade and cataract motion directly through transparent drum panels
- Analyze power demand vs. actual performance in real-time
- Train students in the relationship between speed, force, and material breakdown
- Ideal for teaching in mechanical, chemical, and process engineering courses
