Ball Mill
Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel. The ball mill is operated in closed circuit with a particle-size measurement device and size-control cyclones.

Basic Ball Mill Grinding Circuit
Grinding coarse ore in a ball-mill is done by steel balls of three sizes (5, 4, and 3 inches); fine ore is ground in a tube-mill by 2- and 1½-inch balls or by flint pebbles or by hard, rounded mine rock such as quartzite. These grinding media wear to small sizes, and new ones must be added regularly to make up the weight. ...
