1. Fill the container with small metal balls. Most people prefer to use steel balls, but lead balls and even marbles can be used for your grinding. Use balls with a diameter between ½" (13 mm) and ¾" (19 mm) inside the mill. The number of balls is going to be dependent on the exact size of your drum.

Running a pilot ball mill circuit can overcome this problem but this requires a reasonably large sample and therefore can be costly. In addition a valid scaleup procedure is required. To overcome these limitations in using modelling and simulation for designing ball mill circuits, a programme of research was initiated at the JKMRC in which it ...

Ball Mill Grinding Circuit. Even though many ores require fine grinding for maximum recovery, most ores liberate a large percentage of the minerals during the first pass through the grinding unit. Thus, if the free minerals can be immediately removed from the ball mill classifier circuit, there is little chance for overgrinding.

Multiple stages may include a rod mill followed by a ball mill (two stage circuit), or a semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill followed by a ball mill (two stage circuit). Smaller plants tend to add extra crushing stages in order to operate a single grinding stage only. If a ball mill uses little or no water during grinding, it is a 'dry' mill.
