VTM Tower Mill

Shanghai Yingyong Machinery Co., Ltd proudly presents our VTM series Towermill, a state-of-the-art vertical stirred mill designed for efficient and precise industrial grinding. Engineered for mining, mineral processing, and fine grinding applications, our towermill delivers high performance with lower energy consumption, optimized throughput, and enhanced operational reliability.

    Description

    A towermill, also known as a vertical stirred mill, is an advanced wet grinding solution for industrial applications. Unlike traditional ball mills, the towermill features a vertical cylinder and a low-speed stirring mechanism that optimizes grinding efficiency while minimizing energy usage.

    Used extensively in mineral processing plants and industrial grinding systems, towermills are ideal for fine grinding, regrinding, and energy-efficient mineral size reduction.

    Applications

    • Mining and mineral regrinding
    • Industrial fine and ultrafine grinding
    • Precious and base metals processing
    • Regrinding circuits in concentrators and hydrometallurgy operations

    Working Principle

    The VTM series Towermill employs a barrel equipped with a stirring device and grinding media, such as steel, ceramic, or glass balls. As the stirring device rotates at a low speed:

    1.Grinding media rise slowly and fall from the highest point, producing consistent impact and shear forces.

    2.Centrifugal force, gravity, and controlled movement ensure materials and media interact efficiently.

    3.Fine material rises with the conveying medium and is screened before discharging at the top of the tower.

    This unique up-and-down cyclic motion enables:

    • High grinding intensity
    • Minimal over-grinding
    • Stable, low-stress operation

    Advantages

    High Grinding Strength
    Optimized contact between material and grinding media increases capacity by over 30%.
    Space Saving and Low Costs
    It does not require a large equipment foundation, which can save construction costs and installation costs. (the foundation of the ball mill can be put under 4 sets of the same output as the tower mill).
    Lower energy consumption
    Tower mills are designed with advanced grinding technology and can achieve efficient material grinding. In contrast, ball mills require more energy to achieve the same grinding results.
    Improved Operational Safety
    Fewer moving parts, fully enclosed internal rotation, and reduced downtime.
    Good Product Performance
    Adjustable parameters such as feed rate, residence time, and grinding concentration ensure precise process control.
    Low Vibration and Low Noise
    The noise of the tower mill is <85 (dB), and the noise of the ball mill is <105 (dB).
