Basic principle Ball mill is generally used to grind material 1/4 inch and finer, down to the particle size of 20 to 75 microns. To achieve a reasonable efficiency with ball mills, they must be operated in a closed system. There is a specific operating speed for most efficient grinding.

In fact, in four of the surveys, the SAG mill was found to be more efficient at producing circuit product than the ball mill. Similar results have been seen consistently across all the surveys where this approach has been used, including circuits with AG mills, pebble mills, HPGR, stirred mills and ball mills with fine screens.

Rod mills speed should be limited to a maximum of 70% of critical speed and preferably should be in the 60 to 68 percent critical speed range. Pebble mills are usually run at speeds between 75 and 85 percent of critical speed. Ball Mill Critical Speed . The black dot in the imagery above represents the centre of gravity of the charge.

Ball mill grinding efficiency 95.0% = (54 ÷ 64). Benchmark result A ball mill grinding efficiency above 80% is considered “good”; the measured efficiency of 95% is “very good”. This suggests that the ball mill is functioning well, and would not see any substantial benefit from further optimization. DISCUSSION

Steel balls are one of the most widely used grinding media in cement ball mills, their diameters can range from 20mm to 150mm according to different grinding requirements. In a cement ball mill, generally, φ50-100mm steel balls are used in the coarse grinding chamber, φ20-50mm steel balls are used in the fine grinding chamber. 2. Short Cylinders.

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.

The ball mill is used for the grinding of a wide range of materials, including coal, pigments, and felspar for pottery, and it copes with feed up to about 50 mm in size. The efficiency of grinding increases with the hold-up in the mill, until the voids between the balls are filled. Further increase in the quantity then lowers the efficiency.
