Product Overview



This high-capacity batch pulverizing system represents an advanced engineering solution designed specifically for high-throughput geological, geochemical, and gold assay sample preparation. Built to accommodate up to fifty individual grinding jars across four continuous drive rollers, the equipment transforms raw mineral samples into fine, highly homogeneous powders. By combining mechanical jar handling, forced draft dust extraction, and automated timing controls into a unified industrial unit, this system significantly increases daily laboratory output while protecting technicians from occupational hazards.
Engineered primarily for demanding mining analytical laboratories, metallurgical research centers, and commercial assay facilities, the mill processes diverse geological media ranging from hard rock cores to alluvial sediments. Its rod-milling mechanism delivers optimized shear and friction action, preventing the over-grinding of precious metals like gold while consistently achieving fine particle sizes down to minus four hundred mesh. The integrated design streamlines workflows by enabling simultaneous grinding and mixing inside sealed jars, completely bypassing manual post-grinding screening operations.
Designed for non-stop industrial duty, this robust machinery delivers exceptional operational reliability under heavy continuous workloads. Reinforced steel framework, heavy-duty vulcanized rubber rollers, and precision drive motors ensure minimal vibration and low operating noise. Combined with automatic overcurrent protective shutdown devices and non-volatile cycle timing, the system operates safely and autonomously, providing mining enterprises and commercial testing laboratories with complete confidence in sample reproducibility and long-term operating efficiency.
Key Features
- High-Throughput Multi-Roller Architecture: Four heavy-duty drive rollers accommodate between 40 and 55 individual sample jars simultaneously, permitting commercial laboratories to process dozens of geological specimens in a single automated cycle.
- Friction-Dominant Rod Grinding Mechanics: Engineered around heavy cylindrical grinding rods that apply controlled frictional shearing, preserving gold grain integrity and delivering uniform, reproducible analytical samples without severe over-pulverization.
- Enclosed Dust Mitigation & Mechanical Exhaust: Features an integrated dust collection hood powered by a dedicated positive-pressure mechanical blower, capturing fine silica particulates at the source before they can escape into the working environment.
- In-Jar Pulverization and Auto-Blending: Grinding and homogenization occur entirely within the sealed jar chamber, eliminating the need for post-milling sieving and manual mixing while maintaining a high safety factor for target grain size control.
- Low-Noise Vulcanized Rubber Drive Rollers: Precision-ground rubber-coated rollers absorb mechanical vibration and acoustic energy during high-speed rotation, creating a quiet operating environment and reducing physical wear on grinding containers.
- Horizontal Micrometer Jar Lock Assembly: Employs an elastic micrometer locking bar structure that secures jar caps firmly against pressure build-up, preventing sample cross-contamination and zero-leakage operation during intensive mill cycles.
- Outage-Compensated Precision Automatic Timer: Integrated digital timer measures net operational grinding time only, automatically pausing during power interruptions and resuming without losing cycle count to guarantee exact repeat grind times.
- Automated Overcurrent Load Protection: Advanced electrical sensing automatically shuts down drive motors upon detecting mechanical jam or current overload, protecting vital powertrain components without requiring continuous operator supervision.
