How does ball mill work?

2022-06-02 14:48:13

The main working part of the cement grinding mill is a rotary cylinder mounted on two large bearings and placed horizontally. The cylinder is divided into several chambers by a partition plate, and a certain shape and size of grinding bodies are installed in each chamber. The grinding bodies are generally steel balls, steel forgings, steel rods, pebbles, gravel, and porcelain balls. In order to prevent the cylinder from being worn, a liner is installed on the inner wall of the cylinder.

 
When the cement grinding machine rotates, the grinding media adheres to the lining surface of the inner wall of the cylinder under the action of centrifugal force and frictional force with the lining surface of the inner surface of the cylinder, and rotates with the cylinder and is brought to a certain height. Under the action of gravity, it falls freely. When falling, the grinding media acts as a projectile and impacts the material at the bottom to crush the material. The cyclic motion of the abrasive body rising and falling is repeated. In addition, during the rotation of the mill, the grinding body also slides and rolls, so the grinding action occurs between the grinding body, the liner and the material, making the material fine. As new materials are continuously fed at the feed end, there is a material level difference between the feed and discharge end materials to force the material to flow, and the axial thrust of the impact material when the grinding body falls also breaks the material flow. Air movement also helps material flow. Therefore, although the mill barrel is placed horizontally, the material can slowly flow from the feed end to the discharge end to complete the grinding operation.
 
【Ball mill liner】
The liner of cement dry-type ball mill can be divided into ceramic, granite, rubber, high manganese, magnetic liner and other materials. The function of liner is mainly to protect the cylinder from the direct impact of materials and steel balls and extend the service life. At the same time, the liner plate can also adjust the running track of materials. Generally, the head grinding bin is equipped with hard liner plate, which can enhance the impact force of materials and accelerate grinding. The liner plate of the fine grinding bin is corrugated liner plate or flat liner plate, which can enhance the grinding effect of materials.
 
【Ball mill grinding medium】
The grinding medium of cement dry ball mill includes steel ball, steel rod, steel pipe, stone, porcelain ball, etc. the steel ball is divided into cast iron, bearing steel, carbon steel and other materials, and the diameter of steel ball varies from 15mm to 125mm. The steel bar is short cylindrical or conical, which has line surface contact with the material and strong grinding effect.
 
【Cement ball mill advantages】
1. It has strong adaptability to materials, continuous production and large processing capacity. The equipment has stable performance, is convenient for large-scale production, and meets the needs of large-scale production of modern enterprises.
2. The crushing ratio is large, the feeding size can reach 50 mm, the discharging particle size can be controlled, and the particle quality is good.
3. Cement dry-type ball mill is mainly used for grinding raw materials and clinker (finished products and raw materials) in cement plant, and also for grinding various ores and other grindable materials in metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power and other industrial and mining enterprises. It can be used for open flow grinding and circular flow grinding composed of powder concentrator.
4. The structure is reasonable, firm and can be operated under negative pressure. Cement dry ball mill has good sealing performance, environmental protection, simple maintenance, safe and reliable operation.
【Disadvantages】
But at present, the overall efficiency of cement dry-type ball mill grinding is low and energy consumption is large. Although the rolling bearing transmission mode is used now, the cement mill process is still the most power consuming part of the enterprise. Moreover, the cement dry-type ball mill is generally medium and long grinding, with large investment and high cost.
