High intensity
This high intensity grinding technology (>300kW/m3) requires a much smaller footprint than conventional grinding technology – the grinding volume of the IsaMill™ is about one tenth the equivalent ball or tower mill.

The IsaMill™ is a high intensity grinding technology – with nearly three times the kW/m3 of its closest competitor, the SMD. With a tip speed of 22 m/s it has at least three times the kinetic energy in impacts.
