AUBEMA Vibrating Mills are used for grinding
of almost all materials in the processing industry,
from medium-sized lumps up to finest grains. The
particular fields of application are coal, chemicals,
ceramics and pit and quarry industries, including
their subgroups.

Twin-Tube Vibrating Mill with drive and counter-vibration frame, type 4210/04-25
 M O D E O F O P E R AT I O N
Twin- and Three-Tube Vibrating Mills are driven by
an unbalanced drive. The entire filling of the grind-
ing cylinders, which comprises the grinding media
and the feed material, constantly receives impulses
from the circular vibrations in the body of the mill.
The grinding action itself is produced by the rotation
of the grinding media in opposite direction towards
the driving rotation and by continuous head-on
collisions of the grinding media. The residence time
of the material contained in the grinding cylinders
is determined by the quantity of the flowing feed
material. The residence time can also be influenced
by using damming devices. The feed material passes
through the grinding cylinders in a helical curve
and slides down from the inflow to the outflow. The
high degree of fineness achieved is the result of this
long grinding procedure.
Continuous feeding is carried out by vibrating
feeders, rotary valves or conveyor screws. The
product is subsequently conveyed either pneumati-
cally or mechanically.
S P E C I A L F E AT U R E S
The driving motor is connected to the drive shaft of
the mill via a propeller shaft. The centrifugal
weights on the drive shaft are set in a way, that
the vibration circuit diameter necessary for optimum
grinding results is achieved. The lubricated roller
bearings are protected by a special labyrinth
sealing to ensure easy maintenance.
The complete vibration system is positioned on
spring elements, or alternatively on rubber buffers.
If the transfer of vibrating power to the base of the
mill has to be reduced, the entire Vibrating Mill
and its drive will be put on an additional counter-
vibration frame.
The grinding cylinders are filled to about 60–70 %.
Balls, cylpebs and grinding rods are used as grind-
ing media. If the grinding is iron-free, balls or
cylpebs of aluminium oxide are used. The grinding
media are held up at the outflow heads by sepa-
rating discs to ensure that only the ground material
can flow out. Upon request, the grinding tubes are
available in welded or bolted design. To protect the
grinding tubes, easily-replaceable cylinders made
of highly wear-resistant special steel are inserted.
Owing to the location of the grinding tubes, one
above the other in a slanting position, different
operating alternatives are provided.
The Three-Tube Vibrating Mill was especially
designed for obtaining even higher capacities.
It is distinguished by a low power consumption.

In the conventional model, the grinding cylinders
are connected in series. The feed material passes
through both grinding cylinders and receives inten-
sive treatment during this long grinding process.
This method is required if the feed material is partic-
ularly hard or coarse, or if very fine grinding results
are required. The process is distinguished by a
high degree of homogeneity.

The highest degree of fineness is achieved by a
connected in series operation (1). At the same time,
the mill can be run with comparatively coarse
lumps – both lower cylinders are available to carry
out the extremely fine grinding work, while the
upper cylinder performs the primary grinding func-
tion with larger balls or rods.

If the cylinders are set parallel to each other, each

grinding cylinder is charged separately, so that
only half of the residence time is necessary. The
treatment of the material is not so intensive and the
output of the mill is correspondingly higher. This is Depending on the application, high capacity at a

With centre feeding, the highest capacity volumes

are achieved because four lines are available.
The residence time is correspondingly short. This
method of operation can be used if the feed material
is soft, if a gentle grinding process is required and
if the ultimate degree of fineness is not so high.
Inevitably, the mixed process is less intensive.
With all methods of operation, additional materials
can also be fed into the mill.
The highest capacity, with a lower degree of fine-
ness, is achieved by material fed on to the centre
of the three cylinders (4) (e.g. for the production of
sand during grinding). This operating method in-
volves short grinding procedures, resulting in a
high capacity of up to 18 t/h, depending on the
type of material used.
