kleberrios Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) This mini vertical ball mill or high energy Attritor Mill is the first homemade high energy vertical mill to be show on you tube, and until today no pyrotechnics, chemistry, or laboratory site has shown it ihome made version. It is three times more efficient than a horizontal ball mill and can also be used to grind glass, oxidizers, salts, pigments, tonners, aluminum, copper, etc.wet or dry process. https://youtu.be/zhIWixfomYM Edited August 10, 2020 by kleberrios

dangerousamateur Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 For grinding sodium nitrate you can use a simple coffee grinder for 20$, mine lasts for years.I dont see the point in this unless metals come into play. Could you reduce titanium turning into powder? Does your blade survive?Then its getting interesting.

You can mill magal at 600 mesh with kerosene very quikly. Al bright, Titanium (with biger balls with water inside) , black AL, ....There is no space for dust accumulation inside the mill, as in ball mills. It can be jacketed water-cooled over long grinding periods. For wet salts there is no jamming on your wall as with ball mill. for grinding pvc (home made),teflon, charcoal, the material does not float on the spheres like ball mill. From time to time we can observe how the grinding is performing, adding or removing the spheres or the product.
