Additional Information on Alumina Milling Media Balls
- Pre-grinding the coarse, hard materials with large balls
- The use of many small balls will increase the fine portion of the materials when the grinding time is increased
- A higher percentage of the grinding balls will accelerate the grinding process
Selection of the Size of Grinding Balls
|
Type of feed material |
Ball diameter |
|
Hard samples feed particle size (~10 mm) |
30 mm or 40 mm |
|
Medium size (<5 mm) |
20 mm |
|
Fine material (0.5 mm) |
10 mm or 5 mm or smaller |
|
Mixing and blending of dry or liquid materials |
10 mm |
|
Mixing and blending of viscous samples |
20 mm |
These are general recommendations: the size of grinding jars and grinding balls should be determined experimentally if necessary.
Choice of Grinding Jars & Grinding Balls
In order to prevent excessive wear abrasion, the hardness of the grinding jars and the grinding balls must be higher than that of the material used for grinding. Normally, grinding jars and grinding balls of the same material should be chosen.
