The results approach presentday practice, the chief differences being that the mechanical construction has been unproved in the modern types. Crushing Action of Ball Mills The action of the balls and the principles of crushing have been studied by several investigators.
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 5′ where ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The power the mill consumes is a function of the ore and/or ball charge geometry and the mill speed. The motor only supplies the amount of power (or torque really) that the mill demands, and we add some extra power to the motor to deal with 'upset' conditions like a change in ore density or a surge in ore level inside the mill.

From this average velocity the time for a particle to traverse the mill may be computed. This treatment does not, however, indicate whether, for a given rate of flow, the surfaces of the powder mil the ball charge will coincide or not.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The circulating loads generated in a typical ball mill cyclone circuit contain a small fraction of bypassed fines.

For the purposes of this example, we will hypothesize that the the crushing index of the hard ore with the increased energy input of kw/t reduces the ball mill feed size to 6,500 micrometers. As a result, the mill output will increase with this reduced size to approximately 77,000 tons ...
