There are many types of ball mills. For how to select a ball mill, we should make two points clear: select according to material properties and select according to production requirements.

Choose ball mill model according to material properties

The ball mill can grind a wide variety of materials. When selecting a ball mill, the first thing to consider is the material properties.

The properties mentioned here mainly consider the hardness of the ore. Some ores are relatively hard. For grinding such materials, a ball mill with a large barrel diameter and a long length should be selected. This is because, if you want to grind hard ores into powder, you need a large impact force and a long grinding time. A large barrel diameter can effectively increase the height of the steel ball and increase the impact force, while a long barrel length helps to extend the grinding time.

Some ores are brittle and easy to grind. For such materials, you can try to reduce the barrel diameter and length of the equipment as much as possible while meeting production needs, which can also save costs for customers.

Choose ball mill model according to production requirements

Except for the properties of the material, the customer's production needs can be said to be the basis for guiding us in ball mill selection.

There are many types of ball mills. How to choose? In fact, the main consideration is the production scale and capacity requirements. If the production scale is large, the capacity requirements are relatively high, and the site is relatively open, you can choose a larger grid-type ball mill. Here, it is emphasized that if a large ball mill can be used to solve the problem, there is no need to connect small equipment in series, which can save energy.

For customers with a relatively cramped site, low capacity requirements, and a small factory, we can try to choose a smaller ball mill equipment on the basis of meeting the capacity requirements. This can not only save energy and reduce consumption, save costs, but also the small ball mill itself is compact, which can save infrastructure costs and reduce floor space.
