Ceramic Ball Mill

What is Ceramic Ball Mill?

As a kind of ball mill, ceramic ball mill is lined by ceramic material with grinding media of ceramic balls.

Details of Ceramic Ball Mill

Ceramic ball mill is a type of ball mill that used in small or medium size of plants. And ceramic ball mill with a large capacity can be customized. Usually, it is used for mixing and grinding both ordinary and special materials. The electro-hydraulic machine is auto-coupled and decompressed to reduce the starting current, and its structure is divided into an integral type and independent type.

When selecting a ceramic ball mill, investors shall take the material property, capacity requirements, liner material and the grinding media details, etc. into consideration. And the grinding fineness of material can be adjusted by grinding time.

Among the factors, grinding media is very important. Suitable ceramic ball mill with calculated grinding media will improve the grinding efficiency.

Grinding Media (Ceramic Ball)

The Grinding Media of Ceramic Ball Mill

This type of grinding media is made of ceramic. It is usually used in the material grinding in the chemical industry with relatively small output and high discharged fineness.

There are two types of ceramic balls:

• regular ceramic balls that are made of porcelain
• high-density ceramic balls that are made of high alumina oxide

The latter are mire abrasion-resistant. Besides, the shape of the grinding media can change from round to cylinder.

Difference Between Ball Mill and Ceramic Ball Mill

Ceramic ball mills and ball mills have differences mainly on the grinding medium. Ceramic ball mill grinding medium is ceramic ball, while ball mill grinding medium is steel ball. The structure of ceramic ball mill is different from that of inner ball mill. Its fuselage and chassis are integrated.

Applications of Ceramic Ball Mill

Ceramic ball mill has a smaller volume compared with other types of ball mill which is more applicable in intermittent production in limited quantities. From metal ore like iron ore and gold ore beneficiation to non-metallic stone grinding like limestone and clinker, ceramic ball mill is widely used in various industrial fields.

Some applicable materials of ceramic ball mill

Here are examples:

√ In ore beneficiation plants, ceramic ball mill is used for both wet and dry grinding of gold ore, copper ore, iron ore, chrome ore, fluorite ore, phosphate rock, etc.;
√ In building materials manufacturing, limestone, clinker and other raw materials are ground in cement production;
√ In ceramic and glass production industry or other silicate industries, the raw materials like clay, quartz are ground into super-fine particles by ceramic ball mill;
√ In metallurgy and smelting industries, ceramic ball mill can grind steel slag or other tailings into micro-powder, which is reused in the smelting process.

Benefits of Ceramic Ball Mill

• High-quality liner ensures high grinding efficiency
  The liner and grinding media are made of alumina ceramic, SILEX or special materials based on requirements. Non-iron pollution design is applied to protect materials from pollution.
• Closed system reduces dust pollution
  Ceramic ball mill and the following processing equipment form a closed system. Conveying is realized by negative pressure, which reduces dust pollution and creates a good working environment for the operators.
• The feeding port and the discharge port is reasonable
  The reasonably designed feed port enlarges the input quantity. If needed, the iron remover is selectable.
• Energy and cost is decreased
  A full hydraulic system is available to realize automatic operation, which is also very convenient. The reliability and service time is improved.

How does a Ceramic Ball Mill Work?

Ceramic ball mill mainly grinds materials by the impaction and grinding from the media to the materials. And it usually works with the following equipment like a spiral classifier.

The details of the process are as follows,

1. The grinding cylinder is driven to rotate by the motor through the transmission device. The grinding media and materials are taken to a certain height by the liner plate under the action of friction force and centrifugal force and then fall down due to the action of gravity.

2. The ore is gradually crushed under the impact and grinding effect, and the milled ore is discharged out of the cylinder and then sent into the spiral classifier for separation. Qualified products are sent to next process and disqualified products are returned to the ball mill for another grinding.
