A ball mill is a type of grinding machine used to grind or blend materials for use in various industrial processes. It consists of a hollow cylindrical shell that rotates around its axis, partially filled with balls—typically made of steel, ceramic, or other suitable materials. The motion of the balls causes impact and attrition between the materials being ground and the balls, effectively reducing the particle size of the materials.
Ball mills are commonly used in industries such as mining, cement, chemical, and pharmaceutical to process and mix raw materials, producing finely ground powders or achieving uniform particle sizes. They can operate in different modes, such as batch or continuous operation, and offer a versatile solution for various grinding applications.
