In Grinding, selecting (calculate) the correct or optimum ball size that allows for the best and optimum/ideal or target grind size to be achieved by your ball mill is an important thing for a Mineral Processing Engineer AKA Metallurgist to do. Often, the ball used in ball mills is oversize "just in case".
1. Introduction. The ball size is one of the critical factors for determining the mill performance of ball mills. It is well known that larger balls are needed for the effective breakage of large-size particles, whereas smaller balls are more effective for the breakage of fine particles.
A) Total Apparent Volumetric Charge Filling – including balls and excess slurry on top of the ball charge, plus the interstitial voids in between the balls – expressed as a percentage of the net internal mill volume (inside liners). B) Overflow Discharge Mills operating at low ball fillings – slurry may accumulate on top of the ball charge; causing, the Total Charge Filling Level to be ...
The important of crushing your ore and rock fine and properly is often forgotten. The finer you crush, the higher your ball mill tonnage and capacity will be. The effect of ball mill feed size and how it affects circuit throughput can be hard to estimate. Here we described a method of designing a crushing plant using power drawn and power rate to define reduction ratios in each stage of ...
Jun 25, 2018· Mill effective diameter = 2.23 m . 335 is a constant used for dry grinding with steel balls in the mill. Actual size of media is taken is lower than the calculated value. It is around 80 to 90 mm. If you Wants to reduce the maximum ball size, thenreduce the feed size by using pre-grinding operation.
Working Principle & Operation. The apparent difference in capacities between grinding mills (listed as being the same size) is due to the fact that there is no uniform method of designating the size of a mill, for example: a 5′ x 5′ Ball Mill has a working diameter of 5′ inside the liners and has 20 per cent more capacity than all other ball mills designated as 5′ x 5′ where the ...
Mar 10, 2011· Re: How Can I calculate new ball size and weight desing for ball mill. Hi, We have a similar mill. Pregrinding with hammer crusher and mono-chamber mill. Thisis what a proposed based on literture review i did and others agree its more and less correct. But remember it all depends on your mill feed size after pregrinding.
A ball diameter that grabs the particle must exceed the particle by 25 times to achieve this semi-self locking taper. One can argue the f50 is a more realistic value since balls wear and the average ball size might be closer to half the maximum. Then the multiple would be closer to 13 times the maximum particle size fed to the ball mill.
Calculate Top Ball Size of Grinding Media -FRED C. BOND Equation & Method Previous Next Although it was developed nearly 50 years ago, Bond 's method is still useful for calculating necessary mill sizes and power consumption for ball and rod mills.
The capacities, power requirements, etc., of the various sizes of Marcy Ball Mills are given in Table 11. It should be noted that the first figure of the number of a mill represents its diameter, and the second one its length. The Allis-Chalmers Ball Granulator is made on the same principles as the Marcy Ball Mill, but differs considerably in ...
