The need to improve the technology associated with traditional methods of crushing and grinding has been an undisputed area of debate. Yet, there is very little structural and design improvement for increased capacity and energy utilization of the mill. This paper discusses the results of some of the design and test work done on a cascading type mill that is a modification of a ball mill. Basically, the cascading mill is designed to operate at super critical speeds but the charge is restricted to move in a cascading manner. Thus the number and intensity of collisions per unit time is increased. Results of laboratory experiments show that the cascading mill performs better than a ball mill.
