Retsch ball mills are used to grind and mix soft, medium hard and extremely hard,
brittle and fibrous materials. Dry and wet grinding are possible. Minerals, ores,
alloys, chemicals, glass, ceramics, parts of plants, soil, sewage sludge, house or
industrial waste and many other substances can be ground simply, quickly and
without loss. The ball mills are used successfully in almost all areas of industry
and research. This applies in particular where there are high demands in terms of
hygiene, speed, fineness and reproducibility.
