description The paper explores the characteristic indicators of the operation of a magnetic mill. A magnetic mill is a device designed for grinding or mixing substances by interaction with ferromagnetic working elements moving in a rotating magnetic field. The study established the main factors influencing force interaction between the components of such a system. An analysis of the magnetic field inside the working zone of the mill was conducted and the method of calculating the quantitative indicators of this interaction was found. The method responds to changes in the size of these elements, their position in the mill working area and changes in the intensity of the magnetic field. A mathematical model was developed. The model is used for calculating the trajectories of movement of the ferromagnetic elements that are placed in a rotating magnetic field and are confined by space of the working zone of the mill. Indicators directly related to the productivity of the grinding/mixing process were determined following an analysis of the simulation results. Based on comparison of the results obtained by calculation and experimental methods, it was proven that the proposed method is suitable for evaluating the productivity of the grinding/mixing process in a real technological system containing a magnetic mill.
