Optimization of mill performance by using online ball and pulp measurements by B. Clermont* and B. de Haas* Synopsis Ball mills are usually the largest consumers of energy within a mineral concentrator. Comminution is responsible for 50% of the total mineral processing cost. In today’s global markets, expanding mining groups are trying

In test 3, in which the grid was used to segregate the different sizes of balls, a further advantage of about 4 percent in efficiency is shown. The conical mill in test 4 increased the efficiency to 58 percent more than in test 1. The efficiency with the long (6-foot) conical mill was about the same as with the short (3-foot) one.

Re: How Can I calculate new ball size and weight desing for ball mill. Hi, We have a similar mill. Pregrinding with hammer crusher and mono-chamber mill. Thisis what a proposed based on literture review i did and others agree its more and less correct. But remember it all depends on your mill feed size after pregrinding.

Fig. 8 shows that the small 10 mm ball size is superior in generating more material in the fines size class, from both feed sizes used. If an objective function was to maximize the production of fines e.g. in the cement industry, the A.R shows that use of smaller ball sizes would give superior results.

Ball mills are classified into :-Batch type & Continuous type : Batch type ball mills are versatile and most widely used. Particle size reduction takes place by impact on the material with the tumbling grinding media and by abrasion between the media and the mill wall. Recommended size are: 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, & 60mm

The mill product can either be finished size ready for processing, or an intermediate size ready for final grinding in a rod mill, ball mill or pebble mill. AG/SAG mills can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill, and some or all of the work of a ball mill.

40%. The effect of ball size distribution increased with increasing mill filling and for the mill filling of 35%, the ball size distribution had the maximum effect on the power draw. When the mill charge contained mono-sized balls, the ball flow regime inside the mill transited to the cataracting and impact breakage was the main breakage mechanism.

Introduction: ‘Ball milling is a method used to break down the solids to smaller sizes or into a powder. A ball mill is a type of grinder which consists of a cylinder. It is used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. The cylinder rotates around a horizontal axis.

Small zirconia balls in ball milling were effective to grind the powder to submicronmeter. In order to explain these experimental results on the milling rate, an equation for expressing the milling rate was proposed.

Ball Size as Initial Charge. Commercial ball sizes 10 – 150 mm; Number, size and mass of each ball size depends on mill load and whether or not the media is being added as the initial charge. For the initial chargin of a mill, Coghill and DeVaney (1937) defined the ball size as a function of the top size of the feed, i.e., d↓V = 0.40
