The size of the ball mainly depends on the particle size of the material to be ground, and the diameter and speed of the mill can be considered appropriately. Formula (115) is an empirical formula for spherical diameter and feed size. dmax — The maximum diameter of steel ball, mm; amax — the maximum size of feeding granularity, mm.

A ball mill also known as pebble mill or tumbling mill is a milling machine that consists of a hallow cylinder containing balls; mounted on a metallic frame such that it can be rotated along its longitudinal axis. 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.

Crushed 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.

Ball mills are customarily divided into categories that are mainly defined by the size of the feed particles and the type of grinding media. Intermediate and fine size reduction by grinding is frequently achieved in a ball mill in which the length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1 to times the shell diameter.

The 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.

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 particlesize measurement device and sizecontrol cyclones. The cyclones send correctsize material on to flotation and direct oversize material back to the ball mill for further grinding. View chapter Explore book

Abstract. Ball size distribution is commonly used to optimise and control the quality of the mill product. A simulation model combining milling circuit and ball size distribution was used to determine the best makeup ball charge.

For a given mill to have a combination of feed size, ball load, mill speed and % solids will represent the total load. In fact the later can be modelled as a function of the others. Additionally, as has been shown by Powell et al. (2001), ball loads high enough (over 12% as in the cases studied in this work) contribute to a significant portion ...

Control Feed Size. The particle size of the material entering the ball mill is controlled between 2515 mm (the diameter of the ball mill is different for different feed sizes). Excessive rules will cause the ball mill to have too much fine material during the grinding process and cannot achieve the friction between the material and the material.
