The high - velocity impacts cause the limestone to break along its internal weaknesses and natural cleavage planes. This principle is very effective for quickly reducing the size of large - sized limestone feedstock. In high - speed grinding mills, the impact principle is often combined with other grinding mechanisms.
The limestone particles are accelerated and then collide with each other or against the inner walls of the grinding chamber, further breaking them down. By adjusting the speed of the rotating components or the design of the impact elements, operators can control the intensity of the impact and the resulting particle size of the ground limestone.
Shearing PrincipleCertain limestone grinding machines, like roller mills, utilize the shearing principle. In a roller mill, two or more rollers rotate in opposite directions. The limestone is fed between these rollers, and as they rotate, a shearing force is applied to the limestone.
