Pebble and Ball Mills

Quality Engineering and Construction Assures Long-Life Profitable Production

Features

Pebble Mill Linings:

To eliminate metal contamination, all our mill sizes can be furnished with interior linings of high density ceramic or porcelain brick installed by craftsmen.

Dry Grinding:

Mills for dry grinding have "dustless" discharge housings of generous size for easy loading, rapid product removal and clean environment.

Automated Process

Process time can be cut to 50% using systems for automated feed and discharge of liquid products.

Lubricating Systems

Epworth automatic lube systems extend gear life indefinitely, saving thousands of dollars in repair and down time. Oil or grease systems available.

Vibration Isolators and Sound Control:

Spring type isolators eliminate mill vibration from the building structure. They are especially useful on mills larger than 5' in diameter located on floors above ground floor. Epworth can furnish systems for vibration and sound control.

Positioning Drives:

A small electric motor and speed reducer coupled to the main drive rotates the mill cylinder at 1 rpm for charging, discharging and sample collection. This eliminates jogging the main drive, extending its life and reducing electrical demand. Recommended for Epworth mills having main drives above 100 hp.

Continuous Mills:

Epworth continuous feed and discharge mills have large diameter trunnions containing helical flites for maximum efficiency in conducting product to and from the ball mill. Conveying equipment is designed to meet individual process needs.

Holding Brakes:

Secure the mill in position for charging and discharging. Easily added to all Epworth mills.

Sub-Pedestals:

Fabricated from structural steel. Elevate Epworth mills to any desired height for easy product handling.

Electrical Components:

Highest quality and design. Installed by Epworth trained specialists. Frequently installed components are: Motor Starters and Disconnects; Mill Control Stations; Revolution Counters; Timers; Speed Switches; Temperature Control Devices; Amp meters and Load Indicators; Interlock and Limit Switches; Frequency Converters.
