CALCULATION OF THE BALLS ASSORTMENT WHEN LOADING THE MILL

We announced the launch of an online service on our website recently. It helps customers accurately calculate the mass of grinding media in the mill. We received more than a dozen requests from our customers who took advantage of this service in a month.

It may be noted, that the service is designed exclusively to determine the grinding balls mass of in a ball mill. We focus on this, because at the same time we received many requests, the purpose of which was the assistance in determining the grinding ball range when loading the mill from scratch.

The difficulty of this calculation is to determine the average diameter of grinding balls in assembly, at which the required grinding quality will be achieved as soon as possible.

As you know, there are two ways to determine the average diameter of the grinding media in the mill: the mathematical method  and the selecting grinding media from the mill. We have already considered both calculation options in our publications.

Specialists of «Energosteel» Company are always ready to help you to form and deliver the necessary assembly of grinding balls, which will reveal as much as possible the efficiency of grinding process at your enterprise. To do this you need to contact us and fill out our questionnaire. We have developed a separate questionnaire for each industry where grinding balls are used. It contains a series of questions that will help us understand the features of your grinding process. The data related to the parameters of the mill (dimensions, electro-mechanical units, type of armored unit, etc.), physical and chemical characteristics of the crushed raw material, etc. are particularly important.

All data from the questionnaire is entered into a special computer program. Next, the assembly of grinding balls necessary for a particular case is calculated and determined. This program allows you to carry out mathematical modeling of the “behavior” of grinding media in the mill – to identify approximate specific consumption, determine the grinding quality, calculate the maximum productivity of a ball mill, etc.

Please note that we carefully check all the obtained calculations in the following ways:

• Contact technical specialists in similar production processes;
• Consultation with research institutions specializing in milling;
• Discussing the calculation results with the technical specialists of a mill manufacturer company.

All of the above indicates only one thing – «Energosteel» Company is always open to its customers and is ready to help in any matter to achieve maximum efficiency of the grinding process at your enterprise.
