The project is grounded in the need to harness Zambia's abundant hematite resources and convert them into valuable products for both local and international markets. With the global demand for hematite consistently high, particularly in the steel production industry, this project is poised to become a key player in the global minerals market.
As mineral resources evolve, beneficiation technology advances, and processing costs rise, there is an increasing focus on the effective dissociation of fine-grained paragenetic minerals. In response to these challenges, the tower mill has emerged as a timely solution. This vertical fine grinding equipment features a vertical installation and is equipped with a spiral stirring device.
Advantages
High Grinding Efficiency
The equipment has low noise, occupies only a small area, saves energy by 30%-50%, and in the mean time the grinding efficiency has been improved greatly.
Modular Structure
The stirring blade adopts modular structure, and can be replaced separately.
Large Proportion of Qualified Size
Fully innovated on secondary sedimentation separation of the feeding material, evenly controlling the size distribution, and increasing the proportion of qualified size.
Convenient Maintenance
Large-sized door opening structure on the side of the cylinder, convenient for on-site maintenance and repair.

FAQs
1. What raw materials can SBM Tower Mill process?
It is widely applied in metal ores such as gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum and hematite, as well as non-metallic minerals including limestone, calcite, gypsum, talc, bentonite, barite. It also supports construction waste aggregate fine grinding, and realizes simultaneous grinding & leaching for gold CIL production lines.
2. What is the capacity range of SBM Tower Mill series?
The full series hourly capacity covers 0.1–130 tons, supporting small lab test units to large industrial regrinding equipment. The suitable feed particle size is below 3mm, and finished fineness can be adjusted from 200 mesh to 1000 mesh.
3. What are the core advantages of Tower Mill over traditional horizontal ball mill?
1. Significant energy saving: Power consumption reduced by 30%-50% under the same grinding fineness;
2. Small footprint: Vertical structure occupies less than half the space of horizontal ball mill, with low civil foundation cost;
3. Less over-grinding: Built-in sediment classification avoids excessive mud formation of fine minerals, improving flotation recovery rate;
4. Low noise & stable operation: Running noise below 85dB, slight vibration, suitable for long-term 24h continuous work;
5. Simple maintenance: Side large access door for quick replacement of stirring blades and liners.4. When should we choose ball mill instead of Tower Mill?
Tower Mill is only suitable for fine regrinding with feed below 3mm. If your raw ore feed size exceeds 20mm and needs primary coarse grinding, horizontal grid/overflow ball mill is the better choice for front-end rough grinding.
5. What wear-resistant lining materials are optional for Tower Mill?
Standard high manganese steel liner for general hard ore; wear-resistant rubber liner for low noise demand; alumina ceramic liner for high-purity non-metallic mineral processing to eliminate metal pollution.
6. What mineral processing lines match Tower Mill?
It is widely used as secondary regrinding equipment for gold CIL plant, silver flotation line, copper-lead-zinc separation line, hematite magnetic separation plant, talc/barite non-metal powder production line and construction waste fine grinding plant.
