Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1206971A1] The agitating mill has an insert (36) co-axial with the agitating shaft (14). Over at least part of its surface, the insert has apertures (42), which connect the grinding cavity to the inner cavity (40) within the inserts. There is also a feed device which withdraws the grinding balls from the inner cavity and passes ground product into this cavity at the same time.
