Bowling ball and cement mixer?
The ball mill sat at a slight angle, to compensate for the large intake than discharge diameter. That was an added feature, when I discovered the original small intake was problematic. For the record, lime was introduced to the ball mill on a regular basis, to insure that the pH was higher than 9½. The ore was a sulfide, plus likely had ...

Ball Mill Design/Power Calculation
The approximate horsepower HP of a mill can be calculated from the following equation: HP = (W) (C) (Sin a) (2π) (N)/ 33000. where: W = weight of charge. C = distance of centre of gravity or charge from centre of mill in feet. a = dynamic angle of repose of the charge. N = mill speed in RPM. HP = A x B x C x L. Where.

Cast Grinding Steel Balls
The best way to compare primary versus secondary grinding conditions is to review MBWT data from primary and secondary applications for the same mill. This comparison is presented in Table IV. The Wear Speeds in secondary grinding are found to be 25 – 40% lower than those seen in primary milling when grinding the same, but finer, ore.

Finding the Ore Liberation Size For Gravity Circuits: Sizing …
In processing our local ore with the MBMM jaw crusher, hammer mill and shaker table, we get a p80 of ~30-50 mesh (80% passing 30 or 50 mesh sieve screen), depending upon the slot size in the hammer mill screen. Results show nearly 50% of the gold recovered was at <100 mesh, and a surprising amount of gold was at <325 mesh.

What's the Difference Between SAG Mill and Ball Mill
The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
