Particle size reduction of materials in a ball mill with the presence of metallic balls or other media dates back to the late 1800's. The basic construction of a ball mill is a cylindrical container with journals at its axis. The cylinder is filled with grinding media (ceramic or metallic balls or rods), the product to be ground is added and ...
Rod mill grinding efficiencies have been shown to increase in the range of 5 to 15% with more dilute discharge slurry (i.e., increased feed water) at least down to the range of 45 to 50% solids by volume. The higher the discharge % solids in the plant rod mill, the better the candidate for feed water addition rate test work.

As a result, the mill output will increase with this reduced size to approximately 77,000 tons per day. The gain in production compared to the 13,000 micrometer feed will be: (78,000 – 65,000)/65,000 x 100 = 20%. The theoretical gain will actually be greater because the graph in Fig. (21) is constructed according to the Gates …

Crushed ore is fed to the ball mill through the inlet; a scoop (small screw conveyor) ensures the feed is constant. For both wet and dry ball mills, the ball mill is charged to approximately 33% with balls (range 30-45%). Pulp (crushed ore and water) fills another 15% of the drum's volume so that the total volume of the drum is 50% charged.
Control Feed Size. The particle size of the material entering the ball mill is controlled between 25-15 mm (the diameter of the ball mill is different for different feed sizes). Excessive rules will cause the ball mill to have too much fine material during the grinding process and cannot achieve the friction between the material and the material.
Ball Mill Design Parameters. Size rated as diameter x length. Feed System. One hopper feed; Diameter 40 – 100 cm at 30 ° to 60 ° Top of feed hopper at least 1.5 meter above the center line of the mill.
