Ball Mill
The ball mill is a widely used grinding equipment in industries such as mining, construction materials, and chemical processing. It is primarily employed for crushing, grinding, mixing, and ultra-fine powder preparation. Utilizing the impact and friction of grinding media (steel or ceramic balls) inside its rotating drum, it efficiently pulverizes materials to target fineness, offering advantages such as high adaptability, large processing capacity, and adjustable particle size.

Structures & Working Principle
Overflow Ball Mill Structure
The main parts of a ball mill are motor, reducer, slow drive, power distribution control cabinet, feeding device, main bearing, rotary part, discharging device, transmission part, lubrication system (mainly including high-pressure pump station and low-pressure thin oil station) and other parts.

Ball Mill Working Principle
High energy ball milling is a type of powder grinding mill used to grind ores and other materials to 25 mesh or extremely fine powders, mainly used in the mineral processing industry, both in open or closed circuits. Ball milling is a grinding method that reduces the product into a controlled final grind and a uniform size, usually, manganese, iron, steel balls, or ceramic are used in the collision container. The ball milling process is prepared by rod mill, sag mill (autogenous / semi-autogenous grinding mill), jaw crusher, cone crusher, and other single or multistage crushing and screening.
