YGM160 High Pressure Grinding Mill: Technical Specifications and Applications
In today’s demanding industrial landscape, achieving optimal particle size distribution while maintaining operational efficiency remains a critical challenge across multiple sectors. The YGM160 High Pressure Grinding Mill represents a significant advancement in comminution technology, engineered to deliver superior performance in medium-to-fine grinding applications.
Technical Specifications and Design Innovations
The YGM160 incorporates a robust design philosophy centered around high-pressure spring technology. With grinding pressure adjustable up to 1200 kg under hydraulic control, this mill achieves remarkable size reduction ratios while maintaining consistent output quality. The mainframe construction utilizes heavy-duty steel plates with precision welding, ensuring structural integrity under continuous operation.
Key technical parameters include a grinding ring diameter of 1600mm, maximum feed size of 25mm, and production capacity ranging from 8-20 TPH depending on material characteristics. The grinding roller assembly features a unique suspension mechanism that allows for automatic compensation of wear, maintaining grinding efficiency throughout the equipment’s service life.
Application Spectrum
The YGM160 demonstrates exceptional versatility across numerous industrial applications. In the mining sector, it efficiently processes various ores including gold, copper, and iron, achieving liberation sizes optimal for subsequent beneficiation processes. The construction industry benefits from its ability to produce precisely graded limestone and gypsum powders for dry-mix mortars and other building materials.
Chemical processing applications include the production of barium sulfate, activated carbon, and various pigments where controlled particle size distribution is critical to product performance. The mill’s closed-system design prevents environmental contamination while processing potentially hazardous materials.
Operational Advantages
One of the standout features of the YGM160 is its energy-efficient operation. Compared to traditional ball mills, it reduces power consumption by up to 25% while achieving similar or superior product fineness. The integrated classifier system allows real-time adjustment of product size between 80-600 mesh without requiring shutdowns for mechanical modifications.
Maintenance considerations have been thoroughly addressed in the design. The grinding rollers can be quickly replaced without dismantling the main frame, significantly reducing downtime. The centralized lubrication system ensures all critical components receive proper lubrication during operation, extending service intervals.
Complementary Grinding Solutions
For operations requiring ultra-fine powders beyond the capacity of high-pressure grinding mills, we recommend considering our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill. This advanced system produces powders ranging from 325 to 2500 meshes with exceptional precision, making it ideal for specialized applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and high-performance materials.
The MW series incorporates German powder separation technology and features a unique grinding chamber design that eliminates rolling bearings and screws in the grinding zone. This innovative approach prevents common failure points and ensures continuous 24-hour operation with minimal maintenance requirements. With capacities from 0.5 to 25 TPH and significantly lower energy consumption compared to jet mills, it represents the next evolution in fine grinding technology.
Another noteworthy solution for operations requiring vertical grinding configuration is our LUM Ultrafine Vertical Grinding Mill, which combines Taiwanese grinding roller technology with German powder separation systems. This mill excels in processing superfine dry powders of non-metallic minerals with exceptional whiteness and cleanliness.
