Grinding Mill Design & Ball Mill Manufacturer

All Grinding Mill & Ball Mill Manufacturers understand the object of the grinding process is a mechanical reduction in size of crushable material. Grinding can be undertaken in many ways. The most common way for high capacity industrial purposes is to use a tumbling charge of grinding media in a rotating cylinder or drum.

Grinding Media, Grinding Balls

The grinding media, also referred to as grinding balls or grinding beads, serve as the tools in mills with freely moving grinding media, such as agitator ball mills. The movement of these grinding balls within the mill generates various stresses between the balls and the product, including impact, pressure, friction, and shear.
