Abstract
A horizontal media mill comprising a cantilevered shaft extending from a motor into a vessel in which a rotor mounted on the shaft agitates a grinding media and the product being milled. A cup-shaped screen and a cup-shaped end cover fit over the free end of the rotor and are removably mounted on the end of the vessel. The screen filters the media from the milled product as the product flows to an outlet in the end cover. The rotor is of a one-piece polymeric construction and slides off the shaft to be removable when the screen is removed. The mill is tiltable to facilitate cleaning, and includes an integrated hydraulic system which tilts the mill, cools the vessel, drives the product pump, and provides pressure for a seal where the shaft enters the vessel.
