The operating principle of the ball mill
· Energy consumption for ball mills is a function of many factors: the physical properties of the ground material – its specific gravity and hardness; the degree of drum filling by grinding balls; the number of drum rotations, etc. Ball mills have low efficiency – no more than 15%. Energy is mainly consumed on the wear of grinding balls and mill housing, friction; heating the material etc ...
