Smooth liners increase the abrasion mechanism which results in a finer product. Lifters improve the lifting action of liners and prevails shatter and impact mechanisms in mill environment which results in a coarser product ( Wills and Napier .
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377WEBBall Charge. Ball mills for cement grinding usually operate with a filling degree between 25 and 35 %. The filling degree is defined as the volume of the grinding media (balls) as a percentage of the total mill volume. Since mill speed, liner shape and mill diameter are usually unchangeable parameters, the only adjustment in a mill can be made ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377WEBJun 19, 2015 · Rod mills are normally operated with a 32 to 40 percent charge by volume which during operation, becomes a 40 to 50% charge, with a bulk density considerably lower than that of stacked rods. This chart shows the impact a mill's grinding ball load has on the mill's motor power draw. Process Machinery Reference Manual
