In this mill, the mill shell is rotated and motion is imparted to the charge via the mill shell. The grinding medium may be steel rods, balls, or rock itself. Tumbling mills are typically employed in the mineral industry for coarse-grinding processes, in which particles between 5 and 250 mm are reduced in size to between 40 and 300 microns.

The performance of a ball mill is known to be affected by the design of the liners. A proper liner must key the ball charge to the mill shell in order to maximize the tumbling action with a minimum of slippage, and at the same time it must protect the mill shell from damage. There are two important features that are common to all three figures.

Utilization of this tumbling motion for efficient breakage of particles depends on the conditions inside the mill. However, any kind of monitoring device to measure the conditions inside the mill shell during operation is virtually impossible due to the severe environment presented by the tumbling charge.

Tumbling Mills : BALL MILL Jana Marie D. Gomonid Grinding is the last stage in the process of comminution. The reduction ratio is usually large (8 to 25:1 sometimes 500:1). Grinding Mills are generally classified into two types: tumbling mills and stirred mills. In Tumbling Mills: Mill shell is rotated and motion is imparted to the charge via the mill shell.

Aug 08, 2018 The action of lifter bars is best understood by following the motion of ball charge inside the mill. There are two well-known modes in which the ball charge moves inside the mill: cascading and cataracting. The cascading motion of ball charge forms a compressive zone inside the mill where particles may break under slow compression

Tumbling mills have been widely implemented in many industrial sectors for the grinding of bulk materials. They have been used for decades in the production of fines and in the final stages of ore comminution, where optimal levels for the enrichment particles’ sizes are obtained. Even though these ubiquitous machines of relatively simple construction have been subjected to extensive ...
