Mastering the foreign markets for the grinding media supply, the ENERGOSTEEL company specialists have noted one peculiarity for themselves. Many foreign enterprises use SAG mills (self-grinding and semi-self-grinding mills) in their grinding scheme. Recall, a SAG mill is a mill type for the material grinding with a larger diameter than its length. The steel grinding balls with large diameters from 100mm to 125mm and above are the grinding media in such mills. As a rule, the filling rate of SAG mills with grinding media is from 6% to 12%. For example, the filling rate of conventional pipe ball mills ranges from 25% to 50% (depending on the material grinding requirements). The principle of grinding is a waterfall regime, i.e. maximum use of the kinetic energy of falling grinding media. The SAG mills used for the coarse grinding of large rock pieces (the first grinding stage). The necessary equipment choice for grinding material was provided on the following factors, 5-7 years ago: the grinding scheme analysis on a similar enterprise, the absence of stages the medium and fine crushing, the absence of free space for installing additional crushing equipment, the complexity degree of ore dressing, and the high abrasiveness of the […]

We have given repeatedly in our publications the examples and the mathematical calculations disproving the prevailing opinion the need to use cast iron cylpebs for finer material grinding. In this article, we will provide you with the comparing work results of two types the grinding media – cast iron cylpebs of Ukrainian production and 35/40mm steel grinding balls by ENERGOSTEEL production. Let’s look at the course of these tests in more detail. We had the opportunity to conduct comparative tests in a laboratory mill installed on the production site of one of our customers at the end of November 2019. The mill drum divided by a “blank” partition into two equal chambers. 60 kilograms of grinding media loaded into each chamber. The 20 kilograms of material loaded into each chamber observing the proportion of grinding media to the material to be ground. The crushed material was preliminary grinding limestone. The material size was not more than 20 mm. Grinding occurred within 60 minutes. The grinding type was a dry grinding type. The crushed material samples weighing 25 grams have been selected from each chamber after 1 hour of the mill operation. After that, the selected samples have been sieved on […]

We have repeatedly mentioned the development strategy of our company aimed at expanding sales markets. ENERGOSTEEL Company managed to strengthen its position and stabilize the supply of our products in the Western Hemisphere. The steel grinding balls by ENERGOSTEEL production appeared in Central America in October 2019, where they successfully grinding ores in various mines of Honduras. This project was bright and fascinating, from the idea to its implementation. We have collided with various specific points and difficult questions on the way to achieving the goal. We have able to bring our plans to life thanks to a close-knit team of professionals of ENERGOSTEEL Company. We intend to increase the supply of steel grinding balls to consumers in this region and occupy our niche in two continents of the Western Hemisphere in the near future. A start has been made!

The company “Energosteel” is focused on building long-term and strong partnerships. We not only provide high-quality service, prompt response to inquiries, effective solution of various issues, but also hold personal meetings with partners at their production sites. This format allows our technicians to evaluate the produced grinding balls during operation, to evaluate the efficiency of the grinding process (correctly selected particle size distribution, load rate of ball mills, current load schedule, etc.). Therefore, in September 2019, as part of annual personal meetings, the technical specialists of Energosteel visited our partner, one of the largest mining and processing companies in Azerbaijan. The history of relationships with this client is quite eventful. The ore that is mined at this enterprise has some specific features – it is significantly harder than ordinary quartzite and very abrasive. To correctly select the parameters of grinding bodies (we are talking about balls with a diameter of 40 mm) for this particular case, we conducted several tests, the results of which clearly determined the chemical composition of the steel of grinding bodies and the necessary hardness parameters, which showed maximum efficiency in grinding in second stage. In the first grinding stage, SAG mills loaded with 120 and […]

Any metallurgical production accompanied by industrial waste formation. The basic rule followed at any metallurgical enterprise is to reduce the industrial waste volume and to find a way to recycle it. Rolling production significantly less pollutes the air in comparison with other main metallurgical enterprises. The enterprises use various gas-cleaning and dust-collecting installations. The dedusting problem in rolling enterprises solved by the use of water dedusting provided by the nozzles with thin water spraying using, mechanical and pneumatic uniform irrigation the dust areas through the hole pipes and air separators. Industrial vacuum cleaners can be used to clean rolling mill waste (scale, dust). Much attention paid to protect the water basin from pollution by industrial effluents at metallurgical plants. The dozens of large circulating water supply cycles to metallurgical enterprises have been commissioned in recent years. Water polluted by scale and oil and the main and almost the only way for its preparation is removing mechanical impurities and oils. Cooling towers and process water pools use to cool equipment in the rolling department at the ENERGOSTEEL Plant, thus, no wastewater pollution occurs. The scale collects in tubs and takes out by specialized organizations for the scale disposal. The used linings, […]

Labor safety in the modern world, as never before, is relevant of great importance due to the intensive development of the manufacturing sector and the new activities emergence. It is difficult to imagine a successful enterprise in the market that would neglect the safety issues of employees. The modern metallurgical enterprise is equipped with a set of special technical means to ensure safe and healthy working conditions. The purpose of all technical means labor protection is to prevent exposure to dangerous and harmful production factors on humans. Employees’ safety depends on the equipment level of the production site and workplace with technical means of labor protection. The occurrence and manifestation of harmful and dangerous production factors depend on the specifics of technology the equipment used and labor processes. The production process of a metallurgical enterprise is characterized by the continuity or frequency of technological and labor operations and the operation of machinery and equipment. In such conditions, harmful and dangerous production factors arise constantly or periodically. Dangerous substances of ball-rolling production are oxygen and propane-butane, used during cutting the initial blanks, as well as for repair purposes. Forbidden to stand between the induction furnace and sorting table during the line […]

Following the trends of the market for increasing the requirements for the grinding media quality, a lot of sale offers for the steel grinding balls with a fifth hardness group (DSTU 8538-2015 and GOST 7524-2015) have appeared on the Ukrainian market. It should be noted, most manufacturers have not mastered production the grinding balls with the fifth hardness group (DSTU 8538-2015 and GOST 7524-2015). That’s why there are very often the grinding balls with the fourth hardness group sold to a client as the grinding balls with the fifth hardness group, whose characteristics (especially surface hardness) slightly exceed of DSTU or GOST. This is easily achieved by violating the technology of quenching and tempering the finished products. Such grinding balls have high surface hardness, but toward to the centre, the hardness decreases exponentially. Such grinding balls are most prone to split, during working in a ball mill. We recommend the capabilities analysis of the new supplier before accepting the grinding balls purchase from him. This is easy to do without resorting to any significant costs. First of all, it is necessary to study the producer official website. As a rule, all manufacturers who cherish their reputation on the market post […]
