To use the Mill, the material to be ground is loaded into the barrel which contains grinding media. As the barrel rotates, the material is caught between the individual grinding media balls which mix and crush the product into a very fine powder over a period of several hours. Quite simply, the longer the Ball Mill is run, the finer powder will be.

There are three types of grinding media that are commonly used in ball mills: • steel and other metal balls; • metal cylindrical bodies called cylpebs; • ceramic balls with regular or high density. Steel and other metal balls are the most frequently used grinding media with sizes of the balls ranging from 10 to 150 mm in diameter [30].

The Wear Speeds in secondary grinding are found to be 25 – 40% lower than those seen in primary milling when grinding the same, but finer, ore. This comparison shows that the reduction of the i mpact component of wear due to the smaller media size offsets the increase in an abrasive wear expected when grinding to finer product sizes.
