VIBRA-DRUM Grinding Mill

About the VIBRA-DRUM Grinding Mill

General Kinematics Vibra-Drum grinding mills are proven in dozens of milling applications in the mining and mineral industries. Grinding processors are achieving impressive energy savings (35-50%), thanks to a unique rotational material motion that is more efficient than conventional ball or rotary mills. New processes such as micron grinding and mechano chemical grinding give our customers a unique and effective competitive advantage.

Exceptional grinding performance and energy savings are the result of the Vibra-Drum's natural frequency design. A sub-resonant, two mass drive and spring system alternately stores and releases grinding power. Once in motion, energy is only needed to move the grinding media as a fluid mass, and to overcome frictional losses. The Vibra-Drum can be used for processes other than grinding. It has been used to process and agglomerate fiberglass, mix product components, clean castings, for hydrometallurgy, minerals recovery, and other processes.
