Stirred Media Detritor (SMD) is a fluidized media grinding mill. It utilizes the rotational energy of the impeller arms to impart a high-energy motion to the media and slurry mixture inside the mill. This results in particle-to-particle shear and compressive forces that produce the desired grinding mechanism for fine grinding. Lower capital cost.

Nanoparticles can be produced by wet grinding in stirred-media mills. In the lower nanometer range a true grinding limit exists, where the transferred energy from the grinding media is no longer sufficient to induce further breakage of the particles even after stressing events with high stress energies. Variations in process conditions lead to ...
Within a typical stirred media mill, a disc stirrer in the mill chamber applies kinetic energy to the grinding beads and the product suspension to produce a circular movement. The grinding in wet operated stirred media mills is based on the compressive and shear stress applied on the product particles by the grinding beads [6], [7].
