Mill (grinding)

A mill in grinding is a machine used to break down materials into smaller particles. It typically consists of a rotating drum or cylinder filled with grinding media like balls or rods. As the drum spins, the media and material inside collide and crush against each other, reducing the material's size. This process helps in extracting valuable components, making materials easier to use in manufacturing, or preparing them for further processing. Mills are common in industries such as mining, cement production, and food processing, enabling efficient and controlled size reduction of various raw materials.
