Ball Mill – A Grinding Or Mixing Unit

The ball mill is a type of grinding mill, purposed similarly to the sag mill or other mining crushers. These machines are used to grind or mix metals or raw materials for further processing. Various materials are placed into the mill drum and rotated with the mined materials that are to be crushed. The ball mill contains materials meant for crushing and grinding, such as balls of ceramic, small rocks, or balls made from stainless steel. The internal device of the ball mill grinds material into powder-like substances, and can rotate continuously for optimal grinding and refinery production.
A ball mill, a type of grinder, is a cylindrical device used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. Ball mill 's rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium. Different materials are used as media, including ceramic balls, flint pebbles and stainless steel balls. An internal cascading effect reduces the material to a fine powder. Industrial ball mill 's can operate continuously, fed at one end and discharged at the other end. Large to medium-sized ball mill 's are mechanically rotated on their axis, but small ones normally consist of a cylindrical capped container that sits on two drive shafts (pulleys and belts are used to transmit rotary motion). Ball mill 's are also used in pyrotechnics and the manufacture of black powder, but cannot be used in the preparation of some pyrotechnic mixtures such as flash powder because of their sensitivity to impact.
