The starting point for ball mill media and solids charging generally starts as follows: 50% media charge. Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (non-spherical, irregularly shaped and mixed-size media will increase or decrease the free space) 50% x 26% = 13% free space. Add to this another 10%-15% above the ball charge for total of 23%

SAG Ball consumption is “average” at 400 g/t while Ball Mill grinding media (3″ balls) usage in 550 g/t. Yet, you add steel and nothing seems to happen, tonnage is not noticeably improved. You need more tonnage and could actually use a larger/coarser transfer size from the SAG to Ball Mill. The ore is “hard” and “bulky”.

Introduction: ‘Ball milling is a method used to break down the solids to smaller sizes or into a powder. A ball mill is a type of grinder which consists of a cylinder. It is used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. The cylinder rotates around a horizontal axis.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect that the size of grinding media exerts on ferronickel slag milling efficiency and energy savings. A series of tests were performed in a laboratory ball mill using (i) three loads of single size media, i.e., 40, 25.4, and 12.7 mm and (ii) a mixed load of balls with varying sizes.

Commercial powders of pure magnesium were processed by high-energy ball milling. The microstructural and morphological evolution of the powders was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). From the results obtained, it was determined that the ball size is the most influential milling parameter. This was because balls of

The effect of ball size distribution increased with increasing mill filling and for the mill filling of 35%, the ball size distribution had the maximum effect on the power draw. When the mill charge contained mono-sized balls, the ball flow regime inside the mill transited to the cataracting and impact breakage was the main breakage mechanism.
