Abstract

[Problem] To resolve segregation of grinding media to thereby enable a large-flow-rate circulation operation while reducing wear of an agitating member and a grinding media separating member. [Solution] In a media-agitation type pulverizer, the agitating means comprises: a circular plate-shaped hub member (26) fixed to an end of a rotary drive shaft located inside a grinding chamber, wherein the rotary drive shaft extends front the side of one end of the grinding chamber into the grinding chamber; an annular end plate (28) disposed in spaced-apart relation to the hub member in an axial direction of the rotary drive shaft; a plurality of agitating members (30) fixed between the hub member and the end plate at circumferential intervals, in a posture where each of them protrudes radially outwardly from respective outer peripheries of the hub member and the end plate; and a plurality of grinding media scraping-out members (31) each extending radially inwardly with respect to the outer peripheries of the hub member and the end plate, wherein an open region as a part of an outer periphery of the agitating means other than thicknesses of the agitating members and the grinding media scraping-out members is formed as a grinding media circulation opening (22a) for circulating the grinding media from an inside to an outside of the agitating means, and wherein an area ratio of the grinding media circulation opening to a circumferential plane between opposing surfaces of the hub member and the end plate of the agitating means is set to 50 to 90%.
