How Ball Mill Ore Feed Size Affects Tonnage & Capacity

The rod mill was needed to reduce feed size to the ball mill because crushing plant output was normally coarser than 80% passing 10,000 microns. Such feed causes power inefficiency if fed directly to a ball mill. ... high power rate crushing can bring mill feed size down to near 80% passing 7,000 microns and finer, which can be handled …

Ball Mill (Ball Mills Explained)

Crushed ore is fed to the ball mill through the inlet; a scoop (small screw conveyor) ensures the feed is constant. For both wet and dry ball mills, the ball mill is charged to approximately 33% with balls (range 30-45%). Pulp (crushed ore and water) fills another 15% of the drum's volume so that the total volume of the drum is 50% charged.
