The patented IsaMill is a transformation in grinding technology based on high intensity stirred milling. The IsaMill was developed for fine grained orebodies that needed a step change in processing efficiency to be economic. The IsaMill significantly reduces the energy requirement, and media and capital costs of fine grinding.
IsaMill is a major development in grinding technology jointly invented by Mount Isa Mines of Australia and Netzsch Feinmahltecknik of Germany for ultra-fine and fine grinding duties in the minerals industry. The IsaMill was introduced by MIM over a period of 9 years, as there

IsaMill™ Grinding Solutions' performs IsaMill™ testing using a Netzsch LM4 mill, which has the exact same internal dimensions and workings as the IsaMill M4. Signature plot testing using the IsaMill™ provides data on the specific energy required to reach product size and can be used in the design of IsaMill™ grinding circuits.
1.1 Grinding Media Types To date, all IsaMill installations have taken advantage of the technology's ability to use a low cost, but relatively low quality grinding media such as silica sand, river pebble, smelter slag or fine primary mill scats (autogenous milling). Whilst the IsaMill …
The IsaMill is an energy-efficient mineral industry grinding mill that was jointly developed in the 1990s by Mount Isa Mines Limited ("MIM", a subsidiary of MIM Holdings Limited and now part of the Glencore Xstrata group of companies) and Netzsch Feinmahltechnik ("Netzsch"), a German manufacturer of bead mills. The IsaMill is primarily known for its ultrafine grinding applications in the ...
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ULTRA FINE GRINDING 143 Introduction Development of IsaMill technology at Anglo Platinum concentrators The potential benefit of ultra-fine and fine grinding, (UFG), has been identified for various applications at Anglo Platinum Concentrators over many years. An ongoing programme to investigate the technology has been running
Tough economical conditions and high grade but fine-grained ore processing have forced the mining industry to look for more efficient processes. IsaMill Technology for ultra-fine and fine grinding is one such process employed at several mining operations in Australia including Mount Isa Mines Limited in Australia. Mount Isa Mines is a business unit of MIM Holdings Limited.
Development of IsaMill technology at Anglo Platinum concentrators The potential benefit of ultra-fine and fine grinding (UFG), has been identified for various applications at Anglo Platinum Concentrators over many years. An ongoing programme to investigate the technology has been running intensively for the last seven years. This
Grinding media types Until 2005, all IsaMill installations have taken advantage of the technology's ability to use low cost, but relatively low quality grinding media such as silica sand, river pebble, smelter slag or fine primary mill scats (autogenous milling).
