The raw materials were ground from the big particle size to the smallest possible by using multistep grinding. In the laboratory, the common method to be used as the ball mill. This work aims to design a simple horizontal ball mill. Calcium carbonate material from limestone and eggshells powder was ground using the developed ball mill.

The mills are large consumers of power as well. In the case of ball mills, optimization of the mill charge helps to minimize the power consumption of the mills. In the case of vertical roller mills, inspection of the mill internals and adjustments in the operation will bring about an improvement in the energy consumption and for production ...

These models can be used to simulate cement grinding circuits and to assist their optimisation. The "work horse" of the cement grinding plant is the two-compartment ball mill, commonly called the tube mill. Significant advances in model development were achieved in recent years (Benzer et al, 2001, 2003) through research on industrial scale.
