Get to Know Wet Ball Mill

Ball mill is one of the commonly used grinding equipment. According to different working modes, it can be divided into dry type and wet type. It is widely used in chemical industry, building materials and other fields.

What is a wet ball mill?

As we all know, wet ball mill is mainly used for wet grinding of finished products and raw materials. It is widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power and other fields. It is an advanced grinding equipment that changes the structure of the original mill. The body and the base frame are integrated and can be installed on the foundation plane at one time. The main bearing adopts double row self-aligning roller bearing, which can reduce energy consumption by 30% and increase fineness and processing energy by 15%-20%. Compared with traditional ball mills, it has high comprehensive utilization value. In addition, the machine is a grinding equipment that can work continuously for 24 hours a day. It is a horizontal cylindrical rotating device, driven by outer gear, and is a two-chamber wet ball mill. The feeder continuously and uniformly feeds the material, and the ore enters the ball mill continuously and uniformly through the combined feeder. The crushed material is continuously discharged from the ball mill.

Wet ball mill is a mineral grinding equipment with steel balls as grinding media. Its working principle is that the material is fed into the drum from the feeding end of the drum, and the material is crushed by the impact and self-grinding of the steel balls and the ore itself in the drum. The material that reaches the fineness is discharged from the discharging end of the drum. For the grid type ball mill, the discharge is forced by the grid; for the overflow type ball mill, the discharge is self-flowing by the slurry. Therefore, the grid type ball mill is suitable for coarse grinding and first stage grinding, while the overflow type ball mill is suitable for fine grinding and second stage grinding in two-stage grinding.

Characteristics of wet ball mill

• It has two types of discharge modes, grid type and overflow type, which can handle both coarse grinding and fine grinding;

• It has high grinding efficiency due to the impact and self-grinding of steel balls and ore;

• Equipped with lifting device and slow transmission system, convenient for maintenance;

• Static and dynamic pressure bearings, stable and reliable operation;

• Wet ball mill is equipped with oil mist lubrication device, which ensures reliable lubrication of large and small gears and high production efficiency;

• Low slurry level, timely discharge of ore, reduced energy consumption, and achieving ideal effect.

Wet ball mill has a wide range of applications. It can grind various metal ores and non-metal ores, and can also be used in industries such as cement, silicate products, new building materials, refractory materials, fertilizers, and glass ceramics. Grid type or overflow type can be selected according to the discharge particle size.
