Ball Mill - Continuous process

Your custom project? Contact our experts

What is it?

• Sturdy & flexible solution for percussion, friction and attrition crushing,
• The final product fineness can be adjusted to application requirements,
• Large range of flow rates.

The ball mill (batch or continuous process) tends to be the most suitable solution for a wide range of applications

 

Working principle

Environment and recycling Process

• The ball mill is made of a cylinder rotating on a horizontal shaft, including a grinding charge & fed with the (wet or dry) material to be finely ground,
• +/- 2/3 of the drum volume is filled with the grinding charge,
•  The drum rotates on the shaft at a precise rotation speed, optimized for crushing,
• The product is ground by impact, friction or attrition.

Features

• Continuous process (wet or dry product),
• From medium to large flow rates,
• Designed for overflow or peripheral unloading,
• Can be ventilated for drying or cooling, 
• Drying is possible during grinding process or at crusher outlet,
• At outlet, the product undergoes a particle size separation (by screening, by air separator (most common) or by hydrocycloning (wet way)) to obtain desired paticle size. The oversize is recirculated in the crusher, 
• Low maintenance costs,
• High reliability.
