What Is a European Type Grinding Mill?

A European Type Grinding Mill is a high-efficiency grinding machine developed for the processing of mineral and non-metallic materials into fine powder.

STM’s European Mill is based on the MTW series and incorporates European grinding technology concepts together with STM’s equipment design.

The machine is designed for materials with moisture below 8% and hardness below Mohs 8, with applications covering mineral processing, metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials and coal-related powder processing. The published product range has a capacity of approximately 3–50 t/h, depending on model and material.

The STM brochure describes the MTW European Mill as using:

• Bevel gear overall transmission
• Internal thin-oil lubrication
• Curved air duct
• Adjustable and controllable finished-product fineness
• Dedicated dust collection equipment

How Does the European Grinding Mill Work?

The European grinding mill uses a combination of grinding rollers, grinding ring, classifier, blower and powder collection equipment to produce the required powder.

A typical grinding process is:

Raw Material → Crushing → Feeding → Grinding → Classification → Powder Collection → Finished Product

Step 1 — Raw Material Crushing

Large pieces of raw material are first crushed to the required feed size.

The STM production-line configuration shows a jaw crusher being used before the European grinding mill.

Step 2 — Feeding

The crushed material is transported to the grinding system through the feeding and conveying equipment.

Step 3 — Grinding

Material enters the grinding chamber and is ground between the grinding rollers and grinding ring.

Step 4 — Classification

The classifier separates particles according to the required fineness.

Particles that do not meet the required size are returned for further grinding.

Step 5 — Powder Collection

Qualified powder is carried by the air flow to the collection system and discharged as the final product.

STM’s current product description similarly explains that material is ground between the ring and rollers, while the separator returns coarse particles for further grinding and qualified particles are collected as finished product in a closed air-flow system.
