the data were collected from one of the Raw Material ball mill circuits (line 1) of the Ilam cement plant (Figure1). This plant has 2 lines for cement production (5300 t/d). The ball mill has one component, 5.20 m diameter, and 11.20 m length with 240 t/h capacity (made by PSP Company from Prerˇ ov, Czechia).

The cylinder is fill partly with steel balls of size varying from 50 mm to 120 mm. The action of ball mill is very simple. The material to be ground is fed from the top. When the mill is rotate about its horizontal axis, the steel balls strike against the perforate curve plates and in doing so, they crush the materials.

The better mills on the market have an efficiency of about 8-9 % which means that only 8-9 % of the energy results in grinding and the majority is converted mainly into heat. The ball mill has the worst efficiency of all types of mills on the market. Just 4 % of the energy is used for comminution. Nevertheless when grinding is required the ball ...

There are four stages in the manufacture of portland cement: (1) crushing and grinding the raw materials, (2) blending the materials in the correct proportions, (3) burning the prepared mix in a kiln, and (4) grinding the burned product, known as " clinker," together with some 5 percent of gypsum (to control the time of set of the cement).

Rod mills are very similar to ball mills, except they use long rods for grinding media. The rods grind the ore by tumbling within the mill, similar to the grinding balls in a ball mill. To prevent the conditions leading to rod charge tangling, the length to diameter ratio is maintained at 1.4 to 1.6. Quality Forged Steel Grinding Rod

Double chamber ball mills for the cement industry come in various designs: For bearings, either slide or slide shoe bearings can be chosen. Possible drives include gear rim/pinion, lateral, or central drives. If the …

Steel Ball Mills & Lined Ball Mills. Particle size reduction of materials in a ball mill with the presence of metallic balls or other media dates back to the late 1800's. The basic construction of a ball mill is a cylindrical container with journals at its axis. The cylinder is filled with grinding media (ceramic or metallic balls or rods ...

For the cement industry, there are three main drivers to energy consumption: • electrical power ... For ball mills, ball charge level, lining and diaphragm condition must be monitored and maintained in near-optimum condition. Mill stops, defined as mill motor off, and measured by mean time between failures (mtbf), are frequently …

A ball diameter that grabs the particle must exceed the particle by 25 times to achieve this semi-self locking taper. One can argue the f50 is a more realistic value since balls wear and the average ball size might be closer to half the maximum. Then the multiple would be closer to 13 times the maximum particle size fed to the ball mill.

Experiments and simulation results in a laboratory-scale planetary ball mill verify that the particle wear model can predict the increasing trend of particle wear rate with mill speed, and has good accuracy at high mill speed. In the experiments, the grinding bowl is filled with liquid water to isolate the air and cool the grinding balls, and ...

Heat taken away by ventilation systems can accounts for roughly 20% of the total heat discharged by the ball mill. Improving that ventilation system brings more cool air into the inside of the ball bill, gradually reducing the internal temperature. However, the major benefit of using ball mills is the product fineness they can deliver.

To produce powdered cement, the nodules of clinker are ground to the consistency of powder. Grinding of clinker, together with additions of approximately 5 percent gypsum to control the setting properties of the cement can be done in ball mills, ball mills in combination with roller presses, roller mills, or roller presses.

Material is directly conveyed to the silos (silos are the large storage tanks of cement) from the grinding mills. Further, it is packed to about 20-40 kg bags. Only a small percent of cement is packed in the bags only for those customers whom need is very small. The remaining cement is shipped in bulk quantities by mean of trucks, rails or ships.
