The Ball Mill is designed to grind materials by turning the cylindrical shell with grinding medium (e.g. steel balls, cylpeb, and pebbles) put in the shell, and has a simple structure and ease of handling. Furthermore, The Ball Mill of a large capacity has been available to a very extensive range of applications in both dry and wet processing.
Features
Overflow Type
The overflow type of Ball Mill is designed to overflow and discharge materials from the trunnion on the outlet side. By combining it with a mechanical classifier or wet-processing cyclone, you are able to extensively use this type for grinding in closed circuit or for special applications such as re-grinding in open circuit. Generally, it is best suited to fine-grind materials up to the particle sizes ranging from 150 to 200 mesh.
Grate-discharge Type
The grate-discharge type of Ball Mill has a grate at the outlet of the shell and causes less excessive grinding, compared to the overflow type. Therefore, generally, it is best suited to grind materials up to the particle sizes ranging from 60 to 100 mesh.
Compartment type
The compartment type of Ball Mill has a longer shell, inside of which is comparted into 2 to 3 chambers with grates and is best suited to produce products grinding from coarse particles of some 25 mm to fine particles of some 200 mesh.
Other batch types of Ball Mill are best suited to produce ultra fine particles in particular.
