A vortex mill and a milling method for comminuting of a raw particulate material is described. The vortex mill comprises an outer preferably cylindrical casing fitted with an inlet port for supplying a compressed working fluid into the easing. The vortex mill further comprises a milling chamber, which is situated in the casing. The milling chamber is configured for comminuting the particulate solids therein. The milling chamber is delimited by a side wall, by a lower disc and by an opposite upper disc.
A central opening is provided in the upper disc and at least one nozzle is arranged in the side wall of the milling chamber such that a compressed working fluid could be supplied from the outer casing trough the at least one nozzle tangentially into the milling chamber.
The vortex mill further comprises a discharge collector, which is in fluid communication with the milling chamber via the central opening in the upper disc wall.
A feeding tube is provided which is situated co-axially with the milling chamber and is in fluid communication therewith so as to supply the raw particulate material into the milling chamber.
The vortex mill further comprises at least one comminuting control component enabling comminuting the raw material such that material with customizable parameters of particle size distribution is produced.
