This article takes dry ball milling as an example to introduce the ball milling process. First, select the appropriate size and weight of the grinding medium according to the particle size of the grinding material. The material is loaded into the cylinder by the hollow shaft at the feed end of the ball mill machine.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The entire mill feed enters the drum via a chute or spout and an internal spiral carries the feed into the trunnion liner. The drum feeder may be used in lieu of a spout feeder when headroom limits direct spouting. The drum also provides a convenient method of adding grinding balls to a ball mill. The drum is generally lined with Manganese Steel.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Crushed ore is fed to the ball mill through the inlet; a scoop (small screw conveyor) ensures the feed is constant. For both wet and dry ball mills, the ball mill is charged to approximately 33% with balls (range 3045%). Pulp (crushed ore and water) fills another 15% of the drum's volume so that the total volume of the drum is 50% charged.

Generally, a maximum allowed ball size is situated in the range from D /18 to D /24.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The balls which could be of different diameter occupy 30 50 % of the mill volume and its size depends on the feed and mill size. The large balls tend to break down the coarse feed materials and the smaller balls help to form fine product by reducing void spaces between the balls. Ball mills grind material by impact and attrition.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In total, 165 scenarios were simulated. When the mills charge comprising 60% of small balls and 40% of big balls, mill speed has the greatest influence on power consumption. When the mill charge is more homogeneous size, the effect of ball segregation is less and so the power consumption of the mill will be less affected.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Number, size and mass of each ball size depends on mill load and whether or not the media is being added as the initial charge. For the initial chargin of a mill, Coghill and DeVaney (1937) defined the ball size as a function of the top size of the feed,, dâ†"V = K√F dB = ball size (cm) F = feed size (cm)

Compared to ball mills, HPGRs are achieving a 30 % to 50 % lower specific energy consumption, although they are not as common as ball mills since they are a newer technology.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377A tube mill often is assumed to achieve finer materials than ball mills. Many tube mills operate wet: the material mixed with a liquid (such as water) is fed into the chamber from one end, milled and discharged from the other end as slurry. Both ball and tube mills are categorized as relatively slow speed mills.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The greatest difficulty in feeding most ball mills, when running on large tonnages and coarse feed, say, ½ to 3 in., is due to the restricted area of the feed trunnion, which limits the quantity of coarse material that can be fed through it.
