What is High Energy Ball Mill – Understand its Working Principle and Advantages
When you might think about milling machines, you may imagine a vertical machine that carries rotary cutters. Traditional milling machines were used to reshape components and turn them into useful products. However, there are many other kinds of milling machines available, one of them is a ball mill. This machine is comprised of a hallow cylinder containing balls, mounted on a metallic frame that can rotate along. It can occupy 30-50% of the mill volume and its size may vary depending on feed and mill size. The large balls are likely to break down the feed materials whereas small balls form fine products by eliminating void between the objects. The degree of the milling process in a high energy ball mill is influenced by the following aspects: The residence time of materials in the mill chamber The size, density, and number of balls The actual nature of the balls, such as the toughness of grinding material Feed rate and feed level in the vessel Rotation speed level in the cylinde
