Ball Mills are generally used to grind material 1/4 inch and finer, down to the particle size of 20 to 75 microns. To achieve a reasonable efficiency with ball mills, they must be operated in a closed system, with oversize material continuously being recirculated back into the mill to be reduced. Various classifiers, such as screens, spiral classifiers, cyclones and air classifiers are used for classifying the discharge from ball mills.
More07/09/2017 Traditionally, the process selection choice was between a conventional, well-tried, three-stage crushing circuit followed by ball milling, or single-stage crushing followed by a semi-autogenous (SAG) mill and ball mill. The latter is preferred for wet sticky ores to minimise transfer point chute blockages, and can offer savings in both capital costs and long-term operating and maintenance

The SAG mill was a used Marcy mill coming from the Premier Mine in Stewart BC. The ball mill was a Hardinge (Koppers) ball mill made in the 1970’s and run at Afton Mine in Kamloops BC until the 1990’s.

More05/01/2016 There are many different designs and styles of ball mill liners. As with grinding balls local economics and ultimately operating costs determine the best design and material to use. The initial set of liners is rarely the final design selected. Based upon individual experience, mill superintendents develop preferences for liner designs. The following is given as a guideline for the initial set ...
