WhatsApp: +86 18203695377These mills typically grind ROM ore in a single stage. A large example of such a mill was converted from a singlestage milling application to a semi autogenous ballmillcrushing circuit, and the application is well described. This refers to highaspect AG/SAG mills. Ball Charge Motion inside a SAG Mill. With a higher density mill charge.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The authors assumed that in a loosely packed charge, the ball shape and ballball friction would probably have less impact on the load behavior and the power draw. As the volume filling grade increases to 25%, the power prediction for the balls defined by the multifaceted polyhedron model slightly deteriorates at mill speeds greater than 75%.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Ball Mills Guidelines for sample amount and ball charge As a rule of thumb, the grinding balls should be approximately 3 x larger than the largest sample particle. In addition to the instrument settings and the ball size, the filling level of the jar is also of crucial importance for a successful grinding process in ball mills.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The term ball mill is restricted to those having a length to diameter ratio of to 1 and less. Ball mills in which the length to diameter ratio is between 3 and 5 are designated tube mills. These are sometimes divided into several longitudinal compartments, each having a different charge composition; the charges can be steel balls or rods ...
