The rotation of the mill is driven by the motor, the power of which is determined by the mill's size and the grinding capacity. Ball mills can be as small as lab-scale mills or as large as industrial mills with a diameter of up to 8 m. The mill's capacity is dictated by its volume. The volume depends on both diameter and length.

The advantage of the grid type ball mill is that the ore discharge speed is fast, it can reduce the over-crushing of ore, and at the same time it can increase the output per unit volume. 1. Large row of ore mouth design, stronger processing capacity for lithium ore, up to 160t/h; 2. Equipped with an automatic control system PLC, reducing labor costs, …

1. Introduction. Duplex inlet and outlet ball mills are widely used in 200–300 MW coal-fired generating units. This pulverizing system is easily adaptable to multiple coal type and is simple to operate, thus it is suitable for pulverizing coal with low grindability, high abrasiveness and required degree of fineness.

High temperature of the ball mill will affact the efficiency 3 For every 1% increase in moisture, the output of the ball mill will be reduced by 8% -10%. 4 when the moisture is greater than 5%, the ball …

From Fig. 7, hydrocyclone feed pump power had the most significant effect on the grinding fineness, followed by dilution water flow rate, hydrocyclone pressure, and mill feed water flow rate. However, the ball mill power and fresh ore feed rate had limited effects, explained in the following. Download : Download high-res image (148KB)

Closed Circuit Grinding VS Open Circuit Grinding. The simplest grinding circuit consists of a ball or rod mill in closed circuit with a classifier; the flow sheet is shown in Fig. 25 and the actual layout in Fig. 9. This single-stage circuit is chiefly employed for coarse grinding when a product finer than 65 mesh is not required, but it can be ...

The approximate horsepower HP of a mill can be calculated from the following equation: HP = (W) (C) (Sin a) (2π) (N)/ 33000. where: W = weight of charge. C = distance of centre of gravity or charge from centre of mill in feet. a = dynamic angle of repose of the charge. N = mill speed in RPM. HP = A x B x C x L. Where.

The water can wash away the fine particles in time to avoid over-grinding. The wet ball mill has a low noise, and low environmental pollution. The wet ball mill has a simple transportation device with less auxiliary equipment, so the investment is about 5%-10% lower than that of a dry ball mill.

In total, 165 scenarios were simulated. When the mills charge comprising 60% of small balls and 40% of big balls, mill speed has the greatest influence on power consumption. When the mill charge is more homogeneous size, the effect of ball segregation is less and so the power consumption of the mill will be less affected.
