Why would you be milling the sugar? Are you packing motors or melting and
pouring? The particle size of the sugar does not matter if you melt it,
only the particle size of additives (like the KNO3) will change anything.

I remember the first time I milled a kg in a pvc mill. Was a hot day and
the milling process generated additional heat. After an hour, I opened up
the mill and dang, no powder! Where had it all gone? It had melted to the
insides of the mill and on the brass medium.

Are you milling the sugar & nitrate together? You should use spherical or
cylindrical grinding media in a cylindrical can.

I have a little mill, sort of like a ball mill, but much smaller than
most, and using pennies in a rotating square plastic food container set on
edge. It powders the sugar quite well, but the sugar then sticks to
everything, even after I dry it with heat and mill it again. Any
suggestions that won't screw up the chemistry?
