IsaMill™ is a transformation in grinding technology based on high intensity stirred milling. The IsaMill™ was developed for fine grained orebodies that needed a step change in processing efficiency to be economic. The same principles have since been applied to coarser applications. The IsaMill™ significantly reduces the energy requirement, and media and capital costs of fine grinding. Just as importantly, the processing advantages of inert grinding greatly improve metallurgical performance compared with conventional steel media.

Xstrata Technology provides detailed flowsheet design, basic and detailed engineering as well as supply of the complete grinding systems for integration into brown or green field operations. Technology Partner Netzsch provide the mill manufacturing and design expertise. Please view our engineering page for a complete range of Xstrata Technology services associated with grinding technology.

The grinding technology which includes the patented IsaMill™ is marketed by Xstrata Technology, with headquarters in Brisbane, Australia and offices in Vancouver, Canada; Santiago, Chile and Johannesburg, South Africa.
