3 Tips on Choosing a Ball Mill

With the increasing demand for the mineral, the mineral market has developed rapidly and various mineral ball mills have appeared on the market. In order to help customers choose the suitable ball mill machine, Nile Machinery shares 3 tips on choosing a ball mill grinding machine in the following.

1. Classification of Ball Mills
There are various types of hard stone ball mills, which can be roughly divided into ball mills, ceramic ball mills and rod mills according to different grinding media. According to different grinding methods, it is divided into dry ball mill and wet ball mill. It can be divided into overflow type ball mill and grid type ball mill according to different ways of discharging. According to the different working forms, it can be divided into vertical grinder and horizontal grinder, among which horizontal grinder is widely used.

2. Length of ball mill
Many users think that the length of the mining ore stone ball mill determines the output of the ball mill. In fact, there are other factors for setting the length of the ball mill stone grinder. For example: when the amount of ore is constant, the longer the ball mill for stone grinding is, the longer the material stays in the cylinder, the greater the grinding force, the finer the product particle size, and at the same time,  the excessive of consumption and powder. If the ball mill for ore grinding is too short, the material can not reach the required fineness. Therefore, users should consider what size grinding mill they need and should not just covet the length when choosing the ball mill.

3. The Diameter of the Ball Mill
For the same type of fine refining ball mill, the choice of diameter is also very important. Because the diameter of the energy-saving ball mill directly determines the pressure and impact force exerted by the grinding media on the material to be ground. The larger the diameter, the greater the force and impact on the material, and the higher the work efficiency of the high energy ball mill per unit time. This large-scale ball mill is more suitable for large-scale concentrators, because it saves a lot of installation costs and manpower compared to the combined use of multiple small ball mills. But for small and medium-sized concentrators, large ball mills are not necessarily suitable. The start-up and operation of large-scale ball mills consume a lot of energy, so for small and medium-sized enterprises, it needs to be determined according to the production situation, otherwise it will cause power loss and resource waste.
