Mining

In the mining industry, ultra-fine grinding is required to increase recovery yields, liberate trapped grains and create new active surfaces. The stirred mill environment is particularly severe. The minimum requirement of a bead is to be competent and provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient grinding solution. A competent media type must be hard but not abrasive, withstand high impacts and resist the shear wear associated with bead mills.

Saint-Gobain ZirPro has been supplying high-quality ceramic media for more than 40 years. Based on this experience, ZirPro developed Intermil and Minerax, market-leading composite products. Intermil and Minerax are engineered to be chemically resistant and offer outstanding mechanical performance, making them fully competent in the most demanding applications.
