Ball Mill Operation. Ball mills ride on steel tires or supported on both ends by trunnions. Girth gears bolted to the shell drive the mill through a pinion shaft from a prime mover drive. The prime movers are usually synchronized motors. During rotation, a portion of the charge is lifted along the inside perimeter.

A ball mill is a type of grinder used to grind and blend bulk material into QDs /nanosize using different sized balls. The working principle is simple; impact and attrition size reduction take place as the ball drops from near the top of a rotating hollow cylindrical shell.

a brief description regarding high energy ball mills. Figure 1. A rock tumbler Ball mills . The tumbler ball mill is a cylindrical container rotated about its axis in which balls impact upon the powder charge. The balls may roll down the surface of the chamber in a series of parallel layers or they may fall freely and impact the powder and ...

BALL MILL. 1. SAG mill is the primary tool for grinding. SAG mill is used before the other mills. Ball mill is a secondary, and it is used after the SAG mill. 2. SAG mill breaks the raw material into pieces for the further grinding. Ball mill is used to grind the pieces of raw material into. powder-like structures.

5.2 Fundamentals of mechanical alloying processes in ball mills. A ball mill is a relatively simple apparatus in which the motion of the reactor, or of a part of it, induces a series of collisions of balls with each other and with the reactor walls (Suryanarayana, 2001).
