Disc mills function using a combination of a rotating disc and a stationary disc to grind materials. As the material is fed into the space between the two discs, the spinning motion creates shear and compression forces that reduce particle size.
The surface texture of the discs—whether grooved, serrated, or flat—can be customized depending on the desired fineness and material type. This grinding method offers effective size reduction for a wide range of bulk materials.
Disc mills may feature single-disc or double-disc configurations, allowing for flexibility in throughput and grinding efficiency depending on the application.
