Ball Mill Machine

Ball Mill Machine


The ball mill is primarily used to grind crushed mineral materials into fine powders. It is widely favored for its excellent grinding performance and strong adaptability to different materials.

Whether you are running a small operation or a large-scale powder processing plant, a ball mill is a reliable and efficient choice.

A reliable, cost-efficient, large-scale grinding solution is essential for mineral powder production, such as calcium carbonate, limestone, and some other non-metallic minerals. Daswell ball mill machine plant provides a complete grinding solution for your stable and continuous powder processing.

With decades of experience, customized equipment, and local presence in many countries, Daswell ensures that your mineral processing projects can deliver stable, high-quality output.

Working Principle

Working principle (impact and grinding):

The main body of the equipment is a horizontally placed, rotatable cylinder containing grinding media (such as steel balls, ceramic balls, etc.).

When the cylinder rotates, the grinding media are lifted to a certain height and then dropped or cascaded, generating strong impact and rolling grinding forces on the material inside the cylinder.

The material is continuously fed through the inlet end and, after being ground into fine powder, is discharged from the outlet end by the force of continuous feeding or airflow.

Structural characteristics:

Highly adaptable cylinder: Can be designed in various forms, such as long mills, short mills, and tube mills, to meet different fineness requirements.

Liner plates: Protect the cylinder and allow for adjustment of the grinding media’s movement by designing different lifting plate shapes, optimizing grinding efficiency.

Drive system: Typically consists of a motor, gearbox, and gears, providing stable rotational power. Support system: Supported by large bearings at both ends to ensure smooth operation.

Process characteristics:

Suitable for both dry and wet grinding: It can be used for grinding dry materials, or for wet grinding with the addition of water (e.g., in the preparation of ceramic and mineral slurries).

Open and closed circuit systems: It can be configured with classification equipment (such as air classifiers) to form a closed-loop system, improving efficiency and controlling product particle size distribution.

Capable of processing a variety of materials: It can handle materials ranging from extremely hard materials (such as quartz and metal ores) to softer materials (such as limestone and coal).

Features and Advantages

High crushing ratio, wide range of product fineness

Materials with feed particle sizes up to tens of millimeters can be ground in a single pass to a few micrometers (using a closed-loop system). The product fineness is easily adjustable; by controlling grinding time, media ratio, and classification conditions, a wide range of products from coarse to ultra-fine powders can be obtained.

Highly adaptable and suitable for a wide range of applications.

Strong material adaptability: It can handle almost any solid material of any hardness and nature, including highly abrasive, sticky, and heat-sensitive materials (with air or water cooling).

Strong process adaptability: Suitable for continuous or intermittent operation, dry or wet production, and can be flexibly integrated with various pre-crushing and classification equipment.

Daswell processing a wide variety of raw materials into industrial powders

Reliable operation and relatively simple maintenance.

With a robust structure and mature design, it can operate continuously for 24 hours a day, achieving an annual operating rate of over 90%.

The operating and maintenance techniques are widely understood, and the replacement of wear parts (such as liners and grinding media) is relatively easy, resulting in relatively predictable maintenance costs.

Flexible production capacity and scale.

From small laboratory models to giant industrial mills with diameters exceeding 8 meters, lengths exceeding 15 meters, and driving power of tens of thousands of kW, our mills can meet the needs of various scales, from experimental research to large-scale ore processing plants handling tens of millions of tons.

They offer excellent sealing capabilities and allow for special process treatments.

The cylinder can be sealed, facilitating the grinding of flammable and explosive materials under inert gas protection or enabling atmosphere-controlled grinding. During wet grinding, processes such as mixing, homogenization, and chemical reactions can be completed simultaneously.

Why Daswell Ball Mill Widely Used in Mineral Powder Production?

A grinding mill is key for non-metal mineral processing. It can transform raw material into fine powders. You can use the powder as fillers, additives, or raw inputs for multiple industries. Among the available grinding technologies, Daswell Powder ball mill machine is popular for :

  • Large-scale production. It can meet your large-scale powder grinding requirements. We can customize your own ball mill machine to meet your capacity.
  • Processing of a wide variety of raw materials. You can use it for processing calcite, marble, limestone, chalk, barite, dolomite, kaolin, quartz, and more. Especially, our ball mill grinding equipment is often used for processing calcium carbonate, quartz, talc, and limestone in Egypt.
  • Strong grinding force. It utilizes the impact of grinding media(steel balls) inside a rotating drum. It is ideal for making fine powders.

For the company in construction, paper, plastic, rubber, chemical, or filler industries, or similar mineral powders, the ball mills offer unmatched capacity and versatility.

What Does Daswell Powder’s Ball Mill Production Line Provide for You?

Alternative equipment configurations

As a professional powder processing machine supplier, we can not only offer you a single machine, but also the complete ball mill plant. You can choose the suitable equipment configuration according to your own needs.

  • Pre-crushing machine: If the raw material is rocky or uncrushed, Daswell has various crushers for you to choose. The system can be configured with jaw crusher, hammer crusher, impact crushing machine, or cone crushers according to your raw material characteristics and capacity requirements.
  • Ball mill machine with grinding media: The materials will be crushed by the continuous impact of the grinding balls in the ball mill machine. For your reference, if you have higher requirements for the whiteness of finished powder, it is available for you to choose the ceramic liner.
  • Classifier and airflow separation: This is mainly used for separating the unqualified powder and fine powders. With this machine, you can ensure the uniform fineness of finished powders. And the unqualified powder will be returned to the grinding machine.
  • Pulse dust collector with blower: It can collect the powders perfectly, compliant with the environmental standard.
  • Finished-product storage silo and packing systems: We offer you storage silos for storing the finished powders well. Meanwhile, there are also automatic packing machines for bagging your powder efficiently.

With this closed-loop system, oversized particles are returned to the mill for further grinding, while fine powder is separated and collected. It enables stable production, energy efficiency, and dust control.

Customization with high performance

  • The capacity ranges from small to large scale. Whether you run a modest filler powder operation or an industrial-scale mineral processing plant, it is an ideal choice.
  • Flexibility to handle diverse raw materials. You can use it for processing calcite, limestone, dolomite, barite, kaolin, quartz, etc.
  • Adjust output particle size. It is suitable for typical industrial fillers. And we can also customize for you depending on your requirements.
