Ball Mill, Country of Origin : India

Ball mill is an efficient tool for grinding many materials into fine powder. There are two ways of grinding: the dry process and the wet process.

 

Ball Mill consists of cylindrical shell rotating on a horizontal axis mounted on a sturdy Mild Steel Frame. The Ball Mill Shell is designed to withstand the rotational load of the mill charged with the grinding medium and the material to be processed. Openings are provided through which the grinding medium and the material to be processed are loaded and discharged. The Mill is driven by motor coupled to the Reduction Gear box with Chain and Sprocket arrangement.

 

Mill Linings : Ball and Pebble Mills may be lined with rubber, ceramic and wear resistant metallic liners.

 

Grinding Media : Mills may be charged with ceramic, steel and alloy steel grinding media. These are spherical or cylindrical in shape and range from 6 mm to 100 mm in size.

 

A cylindrical or conical shell rotating about a horizontal axis, partially filled with a grinding medium such as natural flint pebbles, ceramic pellets or metallic balls. The material to be ground is added so that it is slightly more than fills the voids between the pellets. The shell is rotated at a speed which will cause the pellets to cascade, thus reducing particle sizes by impact. It has been proposed that in the plastics industry the term ball mill be reserved for metallic grinding media, and the term pebble mill for non-metallic grinding media
