In the hammer mill, the particle size is defined by the sieve size selected for the mill. The BTM provides different sieve inserts that can be used to reduce the material size to as little as 0.1 mm. An application example. In the past, developers of cell cultures used ball mills to reduce the particle size of the initial blends.

At grinding time less than 4 min, 3.00 and 4.00 cm ball sizes produce a limited size range with the feature that as ball size increases, the larger fragments do not break, resulting in larger values of k and λ, and indicating an inefficient ball-particle interaction. This situation could indicate that when using 3.00 and 4.00 cm grinding media ...
In the mining industry, it is important to minimize the wastage of raw materials while achieving the desired particle size distribution by grinding the original input mix. To date, the procedure is performed manually, and there is no such control mechanism for grinding that reduces wastage to achieve the desired output, resulting in the loss of material.
