A grinding ball mill aid, also known as a grinding aid, is a chemical additive used to improve the efficiency of the grinding process within a ball mill. These aids increase the mill's productivity, reduce energy consumption, and can improve the quality of the final product. They function by reducing the surface tension of the materials being ground, which can help to prevent clumping and improve the grinding performance. Common grinding aids include glycols, amines, and certain types of alcohols.
