grinding ball size (diameter) for the mill in order to achieve the required grinding quality.
We noted earlier, this information can be obtained from several sources:
– Technical documentation. It attached to the milling equipment (mill). Each mill
manufacturer recommends certain grinding media type for mill operation under certain
conditions: the crushed material parameters, the mill’s performance, the raw materials
particle size in the mill’s “feed”, and the required grinding fineness (finished class
content).
– Past experience of a ball mill. It is possible to calculate the grinding media average
diameter formed in the mill operation, during grinding media unload from m ill (the
grinding balls bulk weight in fully unloaded mill).
– Other enterprises. It is possible to obtain the necessary data on a grinding media
granulometric composition from other enterprises with a similar grinding process,
including similar requirements to the grinding quality.
Sometimes, the above sources use is impossible.
There is a mathematical solution to this problem – the Bond formula. It uses to help
determine the grinding media optimal size must be loaded into the ball mill for proper
operation ensure. The calculation formula is below:
