Ball Charge and Grinding Efficiency

What are the dimensions of the ball mill you are looking at? 40% ball charge is quite high (unless you are looking at a small mill). A difference (duty vs. maximum) of 5% to 10% is fairly typical and you would likely struggle to perceive an energy efficiency difference between the two operating points. Beyond this, the situation may change.Web

Ball Mill

8.3.2.2 Ball mills. The ball mill is a tumbling mill that uses steel balls as the grinding media. The length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1–1.5 times the shell diameter (Figure 8.11 ). The feed can be dry, with less than 3% moisture to minimize ball coating, or slurry containing 20–40% water by weight.Web
