Stirred Media Detritor (SMD) is a fluidized, vertical stirred mill designed for optimum grinding efficiency for fine and ultrafine grinding products. SMDs have the capacity to operate continuously at full load power draw with no steel contamination of the product. They are suitable for both open- and closed-circuit operation. Stirred Media Detritors for efficient fine and ultrafine grinding Stirred Media Detritor (SMD) is a fluidized media grinding mill. It utilizes the rotational energy of the impeller arms to impart a high-energy motion to the media and slurry mixture inside the mill. This results in particle-to-particle shear and compressive forces that produce the desired grinding mechanism for fine grinding. Lower capital cost SMD has a modular design ensuring faster installation and reducing installation costs. The vertical arrangement, on the other hand, allows the drive train to be entirely supported by the mill body which leads to a small footprint and simple foundation. Furthermore, the vertical arrangement does not require any slurry seals or inlet feed pressure. Lower operating cost SMD’s power intensity is optimized to achieve efficient grinding, limit wear, and allow for heat dissipation in the case of a high energy grind. Optimizing power intensity limits the sheer force of the media and slurry on the liners and impellers to improve wear life. SMD also operates with a small carbon footprint. Easy to maintain Thanks to having fewer moving parts than traditional grinding mills, SMD requires less frequent maintenance.
