Ball Mill is the equipment to be used for size reduction. It is a kind of grinder used for intermediate or fine grinding. Ball mill is a metal cylinder which rotates about its horizontal axis. The coarse sugar charged along with the metal balls breaks to fine powder by impact of metal balls.

If an objective function was to maximize the production of fines e.g. in the cement industry, the A.R shows that use of smaller ball sizes would give superior results.

WhatsAppGet PriceGet A QuoteA ball mill is a type of grinder used to grind or blend materials for use in mineral dressing processes, paints, pyrotechnics, ceramics, and selective laser sintering. It works on the principle of impact and attrition: size reduction is done by impact as the balls drop from near the top of the shell.

The effect of ball size distribution increased with increasing mill filling and for the mill filling of 35%, the ball size distribution had the maximum effect on the power draw. When the mill charge contained mono-sized balls, the ball flow regime inside the mill transited to the cataracting and impact breakage was the main breakage mechanism.
