Mining mills, also known as grinding mills, are equipment used in the mining industry to grind and pulverize materials into fine particles. They are an essential part of the mining and mineral processing operations, often used to process ore to extract valuable metals and minerals. There are different types of mining mills, but the most common ones include ball mills, rod mills, SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mills, and autogenous mills. These mills use different methods to crush and grind the ore, such as the impact, attrition, and abrasion caused by the grinding media or the ore itself. Salva offers mills with materials and designs optimized for each specific application.

Mining mills are typically large cylindrical vessels with the grinding medium and the material to be ground inside. The ore or material to be processed is fed into the mill, and as the mill rotates, the grinding media (such as steel balls or rods) inside the mill break the ore into smaller pieces, resulting in the desired particle size.

Mining mills play a crucial role in the overall efficiency of the mining operation, as they significantly impact the downstream processes, such as flotation, leaching, and further processing of the extracted minerals. Efficient and well-maintained mills are essential for maximizing the recovery of valuable minerals from the ore.
