…How is crushing & grinding performed?Crushing and grinding of customer materials are conducted on in-house crushing circuit fa- cilities. Sophisticated and highly accurate test proce- dures on customer rock and mineral samples determine material characteristics such as crushability, impact strength, abrasion resist- ance, brittleness and flakiness.

…When should a grinding process be used?If further reduction is required, below 5- 20mm, grinding processes should be used. Grinding is a powdering or pulverizing process using the rock mechanical forces of impaction and attrition. To liberate individual minerals trapped in rock crystals (ores) and thereby open up for a subsequent enrichment in the form of separation.

millopsmunity.uaf.edu/amit-135/amit-135-lesson-6/What is the difference between a crusher and a grinding media?To produce fines (or filler) from mineral fractions by increasing the specific surface. Grinding takes place in more "open" space which makes the retention time longer and adjustable compared to crushers. Grinding media is grinding feed plus 4-12% ball charge (ball dia.100- 125 mm) Less sensitive to feed composition (critical size material)
