Abstract. Nkwanyana and Loveday (2017) used batch grinding experiments in a m diameter mill to test partial replacement of steel balls ( mm) for secondary grinding, by partly rounded pebbles (1975 mm) from a SAG mill. At the optimum pebble content of 25% by volume, a 25% saving in steel ball consumption and a 15% saving in energy ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377A ball mill is a type of grinder used to grind or blend materials for use in mineral dressing processes, paints, pyrotechnics, ceramics, and selective laser sintering. It works on the principle of impact and attrition: size reduction is done by impact as the balls drop from near the top of the shell.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The breakage and liberation of minerals are the key to fluidized mining for minerals. In the ball milling process, steel balls function as not only a grinding action implementer but also energy carrier to determine the breakage behavior of ores and the production capacity of the mill. When ground products present a much coarse or much fine particle size distribution, the separation process ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The volume of grinding media in a mill is directly related to grinding efficiency. The higher the volume of grinding media the more effective the grind. Balls must be added to maintain the media load and mill power draw. The power draw increases as balls are added and decreases as media wears down: add balls.
