THE OPTIMAL BALL DIAMETER IN A MILL
Investigations were carried out in a laboratory ball mill having the size of DxL = 160x200 mm with a ribbed inside surface of the drum. The mill ball loading was 40% by volume, the rotation rate was equal to 85% of the critical speed. Balls were made from steel: S4146, extra high quality, having hardness 62 ± 2 HRC according to Rockwell

The effect of ball size on mill performance
Small zirconia balls in ball milling were effective to grind the powder to submicronmeter. In order to explain these experimental results on the milling rate, an equation for expressing the milling rate was proposed. The new equation is characterized by two parameters, ball size and particle size of the powder. The calculated and observed milling rates agreed well, and the effects of ball size

Ball size or ball mass – what matters in organic mechanochemical
Ball mass is an important parameter that is known to have an influence on the outcome of a mechanochemical reaction induced by ball-milling. A standard way of modifying the ball mass is to change the size of the ball made of the same material. In this case, however, a change in mass is accompanied by a simulatneous change in the ball size. It

Ball mill
Planetary ball mills are smaller than common ball mills and mainly used in laboratories for grinding sample material down to very small sizes. A planetary ball mill consists of at least one grinding jar which is arranged eccentrically on a so-called sun wheel. The direction of movement of the sun wheel is opposite to that of the grinding jars (ratio: 1:−2 or 1:−1). The grinding balls in

An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of the ball diameter sizes on milling operation. A laboratory size ball mill was used with ball media of sizes 10 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm respectively. Quartz was the material used to perform the experiment and was arranged into 3 mono-sizes namely -8 mm +5.6 mm, -4 mm +2.8 mm and-2 mm +1.4 mm for the experiment. A mill run having a mixture of

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

Calculate and Select Ball Mill Ball Size for Optimum Grinding
In Grinding, selecting (calculate) the correct or optimum ball size that allows for the best and optimum/ideal or target grind size to be achieved by your ball mill is an important thing for a Mineral Processing Engineer AKA Metallurgist to do. Often, the ball used in ball mills is oversize “just in case”. Well, this safety factor can cost you much in recovery and/or mill liner wear and tear.

The specific rates of breakage of particles in a tumbling ball mill are described by the equation Si = axαi ( Q ( z ), where Q ( z) is the probability function which ranges from 1 to 0 as particle size increases. This equation produces a maximum in S, and the particle size of the maximum is related to ball diameter by xm = k1d2.
