What Is Toll Milling?
Toll milling (also known as toll grinding or contract milling) is a service where manufacturers or other businesses provide the raw material, and Economy Ball Mill processes it to your specifications.
Toll milling is a practical, low-risk way to access ball milling technology without owning or maintaining equipment—which bridges the gap between R&D and full production.
Toll milling is the right choice if:
- You’re developing a new material or formula that needs controlled grinding.
- You need pilot or prototype production before investing in your own mill.
- Your current capacity can’t meet demand.
- You want to evaluate performance before commissioning a custom Economy Ball Mill.
It’s ideal for starting your ball milling plan and is a great fit for industries such as:
- Limestone and fly ash processing
- Construction and coatings manufacturing (concrete, cement, etc)
- Glass and ceramics
- Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
- Chemical processing
- And much
This approach gives manufacturers flexibility and predictable costs while maintaining the Economy Ball Mill precision and quality for their processed goods or materials.
Contract Milling with Economy Ball Mill
Our contracted toll milling services use our own custom line of ball milling equipment with liners, grinding media, and expert process control. We apply the same care to each toll milling project as we do when designing custom ball mills for our global clients.
Learn how we develop and test toll milling services:
- In-House Test Mill: 20" × 28" test ball mill replicates full-scale grinding performance using as little as 10 gallons of your material, minimizing waste while producing meaningful data.
- Process Simulation: We run process tests, adjusting residence time, media size, and rotational speed to mirror your actual process conditions—whether you need wet or dry grinding.
- Scalable Results: Once your material’s grind profile is confirmed, we can scale it—up to six times larger batches—so you can validate throughput, quality, and energy efficiency before committing to production.
