2.2.1 Operating principle
The grinding stock is crushed and ground by grinding balls in 2 or 4
grinding bowls. The centrifugal forces from the rotation of the grinding
bowls around their own axis and from the rotating support disc act on
the contents of the grinding bowl which consists of material to be
ground and grinding balls.
The grinding bowl and the support disc have opposite directions of rota-
tion, so that the centrifugal forces alternate in the same direction and in
the opposite direction. The result is that the grinding balls run down the
inside of the bowl's wall as friction effect and the grinding balls hit the
opposite wall of the grinding bowl as impact effect. The impact effect is
amplified by the impact of the grinding balls against each other.
The loss-free comminution, even when grinding suspensions, is ensured
by the hermetic seal between the grinding bowl and the lid.
