Companies needing to or wanting to crush or pulverize raw materials in fairly large quantities (10 to 30 tons per hour) may find it can be very expensive and inefficient- especially if they want to pulverize to smaller micron sizes (100 to 500 mesh or smaller). Ball mills can leave undesirable metal particles and may not work as efficient as other mills I've heard about. If there is equipment which can be very cost efficient then it can help a company's bottom line and increase profits.
I've heard of "space age", advanced state-of-art technology which will pulverize to 400 mesh or smaller, dry and classify the material and even transport it- all within one system. This is suppose to be able to be used with either dry or moist material. However, I've not been able to see any proof of such equipment for purchase or lease.
Some applications of the desirable equipment could be used with hardrock mining to more efficiently extract gold, and other precious metals (i.e. help release the metals from surrounding rock), pulverize limestone, coal, gypsum, black sands, glass, rock for natural fertilizers, tires etc. Equipment that could process smaller qantities (1 to 10 ton per hour)and still be efficient, could be useful for smaller projects and startup companies.
If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, and feedback on possible processing equipment for such applications then providing answers to the following questions could be helpful: What size of material (i.e. how many inches in diameter?)will the mill allow? How fast will it process the material and to what size of mesh? What is the cost of ton/hr and for what size of mesh? How long does it take to get and and to replace parts? Is it for sale or for lease or either? What is the size and weight of the mill? What sizes and options are available for the equipment? Does the equipment address any EPA concerns or regulations, i.e air pollution etc? Any useful information about advanced, pulverization milling equipment will be appreciated.
Thanks from ConsiderThis (please)
