Ball Mill

The JOEST Ball Mill is a specialized grinding unit for the mechanical processing of metal-bearing dross, such as that generated during the aluminum, zinc or copper melting processes. The system enables efficient separation of metallic and oxidic components through targeted crushing and classification.

The ball mill is designed for batch operation in standstill mode and is ideal for use in enclosed systems with dust extraction. Thanks to intelligent process control based on the particle concentration in the exhaust air, the grinding duration can be flexibly adjusted to the input material. This allows both high metal recovery and maximum oxide reduction depending on the processing objective.

The system meets the highest standards for occupational safety, emission control and energy efficiency, offering a future-proof solution for modern recycling processes in foundries and melting operations.
