Industrial Equipment: Principles, Construction, and Uses

Ball Mill

Principle of Ball Mill

Ball mills operate on the principle of impact and attrition. The mill uses a combination of impact and friction to grind and mix materials.

Principle of Hammer Mill

Hammer mills operate on the principle of impact and attrition. The mill uses a series of hammers to crush and grind the material into a smaller size.

Construction of Ball Mill

  1. A cylindrical or conical shell made of steel or other materials, which contains the grinding media.
  2. Steel or ceramic balls, pebbles,
