Each ball mill works on the same basic principle: the concept being that sample materials are agitated with grinding balls inside a closed jar system. This agitation means that materials are frequently subjected to strong mixing and crushing forces. The apparent difference, which can be seen immediately, lies in the different ways the jars …

The feed enters one end of the ball mill, and discharges out the other end. Ball mills vary greatly in size, from large industrial ball mills measuring more than 25 ft. in diameter to small mills used for sample preparation in laboratories. Rod mills are similar to ball mills and use metal rods as the grinding media. Pebble mills use rock ...

Here I try to explain how ground slurry is discharged from a grate ball mill (or SAG). How it works is, the slurry flows across the grate as it would a screen panel. On the other side of the grate/screens are veins like a pump impeller. As the mill turns/rotates the slurry is "pumped" out and discharged.

Planetary ball mills share the same design as other basic ball mills – a grinding jar filled with media and rotated on its own axis. But their unique design takes advantage of centrifugal force and the Coriolis effect to grind materials to a very fine or even micron size. These forces come into play as

The characteristic tumbling motion of these mills has given them the name 'tumbling mills', which include the ball mill, tube mill and rod mill. Ball mills are horizontal rotating cylindrical or conical steel chambers, approximately one third to half full of steel, alloy steel or iron balls, like that shown in Fig. 4.10 A–C, or flint stones.

The ball mill works by imparting rotational motion to the drum, which in turn rotates the grinding media. As the drum rotates, the balls cascade down from a higher position, striking the materials that need to be ground. This impact, combined with the friction between the balls and the materials, breaks down the larger particles into smaller ones.
