Jul 05, 2020 The 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

About thirty percent of ball filling of the mill was found to be the optimum. This was explained by an analysis of the motion of the balls and the measurement of the contact force. It was found that the grinding limit is greatly dependent on ball size. An experi mental equation expressing the relationship between the finest average size of the

Aug 30, 2019 1 Calculation of ball mill capacity. The production capacity of the ball mill is determined by the amount of material required to be ground, and it must have a certain margin when designing and selecting. There are many factors affecting the production capacity of the ball mill, in addition to the nature of the material (grain size, hardness, density, temperature and humidity), the degree of

Then, ball abrasion rate was calculated by Equations 4, 5 and 6. Total mill feed per week = 720*24*7*0.95= 114912 tons (4) Total ball charge per week = 7*106 g (5)

Jun 01, 2018 For this coarser feed the 50 + 20+10 mm ball diameter mix breaks the material at a faster rate compared to the other ball matches. The availability of a ball size for a particular feed size ensures breakage occurs at a faster rate. The 10 mm ball size is unable to nip the large particle size hence the breakage rate is slower

than the small ball diameters, but the performance for this ball size had decreased for the -2 mm +1.4 mm mono-size feed compared to the bigger -4 mm +2.8 mm mono-size feed. This therefore shows that should the material feed size continue to decrease, the smaller balls will perform better than the larger balls during milling, as was mentioned

Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel. The ball mill is operated in closed circuit with a particle-size measurement device and size-control cyclones

Feb 13, 2017 A ball mill efficiently operated performs a wide variety of services. In small milling plants, where simplicity is most essential, it is not economical to use more than single stage crushing, because the Steel-Head Ball or Rod Mill will take up to 2″ feed and grind it to the desired fineness. In larger plants where several stages of coarse and fine crushing are used, it is customary to crush from 1/2″ to as
