What Factors Have Much Effect on the Efficiency of Ball Mill?

A ball mill is mainly used to grind different minerals and other materials in the industries of ore beneficiation, construction materials and chemical engineering. There are two types of grinding methods for a ball mill: wet grinding and dry grinding. The ball mill is the core device used to grind materials after the crushing process. It has a wide range of applications thorough wet and dry grinding processes in the production of making cement, silicate products, new construction materials, refractory matter, chemical fertilizer, non-ferrous and ferrous metals and glass ceramic etc.

There are many factors that will make much effect on the working efficiency of the ball mill. Here we will list some factors for users to notice in their later operation of the ball mill.

1. The formula of raw materials. It’s very important to make a proper formula for the raw materials which will increase not only the strength of the grinding ball but also the ball’s weight so that the ball mill will work more effectively.

2. The reduction gear. High spinning speed will surely improve the efficiency of the ball mill but sometimes to keep the speed at a proper status is also necessary. So the reduction gear is needed to adjust the rotation speed for better effect.

3. The steel ball of the mill. The diameter of the steel ball is important because the proper diameter will make much effect on the grinding function within the mill cavity, thus influencing the working efficiency of the ball mill.

4. The addition of water and dispersing agent. The water content of the minerals influences the operation of the ball mill. To add proper quantity of water and dispersing agent into the grinding cavity will make the ball mill work smoothly.
