"One of the most important and difficult problems related to the grinding process in a stirred mill is the high energy intensity. This article proposes a method for reducing the energy intensity of the grinding process in a stirred mill. The essence of this method bases on the organization of the radial and axial impact on the particles of the grounded material. This is achieved by the use of a new stirred mill design. While the radial action is conducted by the rotation of the ellipsoidal stirrer, the axial one is conducted by the vibrational oscillations of the chamber. The dependence of the theoretical power on the functioning parameters of the new grinder was established, and a computational experiment was carried out on the basis of this. As the investigation results showed it is possible to reduce energy consumption in a stirred mill by 20 % as a result of the use of this method.
