Summary:The investigation into wet grinding, with the forced movement grinder, RSK LAB 10–25 MATTER PARTNER proved the efficiency of this grinder. The essential parameters are the rotor and the feeding speed. The population balance method showed that the coarse particles display a first order grinding reaction and a non linear grinding according to time duration while the finest particles don't display a first order grinding reaction, but a linear grinding according to time. The energy study indicated that Bond's law applies to the first grinding cycle(s), subsequently Rittinger's law is confirmed. A dimensioning method, derived from the Mac Cabe and Thiele method, was used. This construction offers the advantage of anticipating the number of cycles needed for a predetermined size distribution.
