In order to investigate the breakage behavior of the feed in industrial secondary ball mills, the breakage characteristics of fine magnetite were analyzed. Magnetite particle breakage produces a bimodal particle size distribution that is consistent with the typical breakage characteristics of abrasion. The secondary ball mill can increase the surface area by reducing the diameter of steel ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Figure 3 depicts the effects of media size on grinding times. From this plot, it is shown that a target fineness of 80% < 2 microns is normally achieved in 315 minutes of recirculation milling with to mm grinding media. By reducing the media diameter to to mm after 90 minutes, the target grind is achieved in only 150 minutes.

A wet grinding ball mill in closed circuit is to be fed 100 TPH of a material with a work index of 15 and a size distribution of 80% passing ¼ inch (6350 microns). The required product size distribution is to be 80% passing 100 mesh (149 microns).
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The apparent difference in capacities between grinding mills (listed as being the same size) is due to the fact that there is no uniform method of designating the size of a mill, for example: a 5′ x 5′ Ball Mill has a working diameter of 5′ inside the liners and has 20 per cent more capacity than all other ball mills designated as 5′ x ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Grinding Balls. Steel balls ranging from ¾ to 5 in. in diameter are used. Rods range from 1½ to 4 in. in diameter and should be 3 to 4 in. shorter than the inside mill length. Tube mills are usually fed balls smaller than 2 in., whereas 4 or 5in. balls are more commonly used for ballmill grinding.
