Effect of ball and feed particle size distribution on the milling

For this coarser feed the 50 + 20+10 mm ball diameter mix breaks the material at a faster rate compared to the other ball matches. The availability of a ball size for a particular feed size ensures breakage occurs at a faster rate. The 10 mm ball size is unable to nip the large particle size hence the breakage rate is slower.

It gives accurate predictions of the service life of wear resistant alloys in mill liner and grinding media applications. In this paper the BMA test methodology …

Five Reasons and Solutions for the Rapid Wear of Ball Mill …

Mutual wear between ball mill liner and steel balls. The ball mill liner and steel balls are both wearing parts. During the grinding process, the ball mill steel balls and materials do a parabolic falling movement in the cylinder. At this time, the ball mill liner, the steel ball and the material will collide with each other to produce friction.

IsaMill Technology Used in Effecient Grinding Circuits

Tower Mills require a settlement zone at the top to separate the media from the slurry – this limits the agitation speed to a tip speed of 3m/s (compared to IsaMill™ at 21-23m/s) and therefore limits the energy intensity, while ball mills can only have a relatively low amount of ball loading before media empties from the mill.
