What Is The Difference Between A Horizontal Sand Mill And A Vertical Sand Mill?

The sand mill mainly relies on the high-speed rotation between the grinding medium and the material to carry out the grinding work. According to the external form, sand mills can be divided into vertical sand mills and horizontal sand mills. So are these two just the difference in external form? Let's take a look at the following, what is the difference between them in performance:

First, compare it from the difficulty of manufacturing.

Since the vertical sand mill avoids sealing problems, it is easier to manufacture and the cost is lower. Therefore, vertical sand mills are more suitable for the manufacture of products that require relatively low product requirements but require high output. On the contrary, the manufacturing cost of the horizontal sand mill is relatively high, but it can ensure the tightness of the material, prevent the contamination of the product, and ensure the purity of the product. It is suitable for some grinding products that require high precision and fineness.

Secondly, from the perspective of the fineness of the grinding.

After the grinding medium in the grinding cavity of the vertical sand mill is affected by gravity, the filling rate of the medium is low, and the distribution is uneven, which makes the grinding effect unsatisfactory. However, the horizontal sand mill can well overcome the influence of gravity on the medium, so it has a better grinding effect and can meet the fineness requirements of the product.

Third, analyze from the aspect of material.

Vertical sand mills generally use ordinary materials, while horizontal sand mills generally use better materials. Generally, the materials used in horizontal sand mills are tungsten carbide metal materials. The horizontal sand mill is to place the vertical sand mill horizontally. Due to the influence of gravity and the different manufacturing materials, there are many differences.

However, they all have their own abilities. As purchasing customers, only by understanding the characteristics of both can we better choose products that are more suitable for our own production.
