Advantages of wet mill:

• Simple structure, easy to operate and maintain: The structure of wet mill is relatively simple, easy to install, operate and maintain.
• Small investment, quick results: Compared with other grinding equipment such as ball mills, wet mills have lower investment costs and are suitable for small and medium-sized beneficiation plants.
• Good grinding effect: the grinding and rubbing action of the mill wheel can make the minerals fully dissociated from the monomer, and improve the effect of beneficiation.
• Wide scope of application: it can be used for grinding of many kinds of metal and non-metal minerals.
• Energy saving: Compared with other grinding equipment, the energy consumption of wet mill is relatively low.
• Uniformity of mixing: Combined with the function of mixing and stirring to make slurry, so that the slurry concentration and other grinding indexes are stable.
• Finished product quality: high density, good strength.
• Full utilization of resources: Tailings can be recovered, so that effective resources can be fully utilized.
• Stable operation: can strictly control the grading size, avoiding the phenomenon of over-crushing or uneven size of minerals.

How to choose the right wet mill?

Mineral properties:

• Ore hardness: Harder ores require a wet mill with more wear-resistant wheels and discs and higher power.
• Ore particle size: The feed size and desired product fineness determine the size and type of wet mill. Generally, the smaller the feed size, the smaller the required mill wheel diameter.
• Mineral Composition: Certain minerals may be corrosive, requiring the selection of a wet mill made of corrosion-resistant material.

Production scale:

• Processing capacity: According to the daily processing capacity or hourly processing capacity of the mineral processing plant to choose the appropriate specifications of the wet mill. Small size can be selected for small processing plant, while large size or multiple combinations are required for large processing plant.
• Continuity: If continuous production is required, consider selecting a wet mill capable of continuous feeding and discharging.

Economic factors:

• Equipment investment: The price of different models and specifications of wet mills varies greatly, and needs to be selected according to the budget.
• Running cost: Consider the energy consumption, frequency of replacement of wearing parts and maintenance cost of the wet mill.
