Laboratory Ball & Rod Mills for Mineral Processing and Sample Preparation
Ünal Engineering manufactures precision ball and rod mills designed for laboratory-scale mineral grinding and process simulation. Our advanced equipment includes Bond Work Index Ball Mills, Tiltable Ball & Rod Mills, Vibratory Ball Mills, and Closed-Circuit Ball Mills, each engineered to deliver consistent, repeatable results in ore beneficiation and material testing.
Reliable Grinding Equipment for Laboratory Applications
In mineral processing and metallurgical laboratories, accurate grinding is critical for effective sample preparation and process evaluation. Ünal Engineering’s laboratory ball mills and rod mills are built to simulate industrial grinding circuits on a smaller scale. They provide researchers and engineers with valuable data for ore hardness, grindability, and performance analysis.
Ball Mills for Precision Grinding
Our laboratory ball mills are designed for fine and ultra-fine grinding of ores, minerals, and materials. The rotating drum and steel balls provide a highly efficient grinding action, ensuring uniform particle size reduction. Suitable for both dry and wet grinding, these machines are ideal for testing flotation feed, chemical analysis samples, and metallurgical pilot operations.
Bond Work Index Ball Mill
The Bond Work Index Ball Mill determines the grindability of ores following standard laboratory procedures. This unit helps calculate the energy required for size reduction and supports process optimization in ore beneficiation plants. With precise speed control and a durable design, it guarantees accurate and repeatable measurements.
Rod Mills for Coarse Grinding
Ünal Engineering’s rod mills are primarily used for coarse grinding and preparing feed material for downstream processes. The use of steel rods instead of balls minimizes over-grinding, making them ideal for materials that require uniform particle size with fewer fines. They are widely used in mineral testing and hydrometallurgical studies.
Tiltable Ball & Rod Mills
The Tiltable Ball & Rod Mill combines the functions of both grinding types in one compact machine. Its adjustable tilting mechanism allows easy discharge of material and cleaning between tests, making it particularly suitable for laboratories that require frequent sample changes and multi-material testing.
Vibratory Ball Mills
The Vibratory Ball Mill provides high-energy grinding through rapid oscillating motion. It is designed for small samples that demand high precision and short processing times. This model ensures homogeneous mixing and particle size reduction, ideal for advanced material research and analytical laboratories.
Closed-Circuit Ball Mills
For process simulation and continuous testing, the Closed-Circuit Ball Mill reproduces industrial grinding conditions on a pilot scale. It enables efficient monitoring of grinding performance, classification, and product size control. This configuration is ideal for testing new process flows and improving plant efficiency.
