Discharge of pebbles, finer rock, ball scats and slurry from mills and its flow through trommels, and into other processing operations has strong impacts on overflow ball mill performance.

Overflow vs. Grate Discharge Ball Mills: What's the Difference?

Overflow and grate discharge ball mills mainly differ in how they discharge the product and handle the fines and slurry. Overflow ball mills are designed so that …

AMIT 135: Lesson 7 Ball Mills & Circuits – Mining Mill …

For overflow ball mills, the charge should not exceed 45% of the mill volume . For grate discharge mills, the charge should occupy about 50% of the mill volume . Bond developed a relationship that can be used to determine the percent charge by volume as a function of the vertical height above the charge, He, and the radius of the mill, R, i.e.,

Battle of the Mill

According to different ore discharge methods, ball mill types can be divided into the grid ball mill and the overflow ball mill. How to choose the right ball mill type? This blog introduces the differences, …

SIMULATION OF OVERFLOW BALL MILL DISCHARGE …

overflow ball mill with a trommel screen attached for collecting the mill discharge as shown in Figure 1. This geometry was built from details integrated from a range of manufacturer ...

Overflow Versus Grate Discharge Ball Mills: An Experimental

It has been widely accepted to go for grate discharge ball milling when a coarse product is preferred or to avoid production of extreme fines, but overflow discharge mills are …

Battle of the Mill

This is also the reason for the name grid ball mill. The overflow-type ball mill overflows from the discharge pipe when the pulp in the cylinder reaches a certain height, which is a passive ore discharge. This is also the reason for the name overflow ball mill. 3. Different discharge granularity

Ball Mill & Rod Mill Design

Ball Mill Trunnion and Mill Grate Discharge. The overflow type is more commonly used as it is lower in first cost. These mills have large trunnion openings which allow high circulating loads to be carried if desired. ... Right hand mill is standard. This should show the ball mill (feed, discharge and position of drive); Unit Flotation Cell or a ...

How to Choose the Right Type of Ball Mill for Your Application

Grate ball mills are suitable for grinding materials with a high moisture content and can handle sticky materials. 6. Overflow Ball Mill. An overflow ball mill is a type of ball mill where the material to be ground is discharged through the overflow at the end of the mill. The overflow ball mill is suitable for grinding materials with a ...

Side effects of converting Ball Mill from Grate to Overflow Discharge

We recently converted a grate discharge type ball mill (size 5.7X8.6m) to an Overflow type. Before conversion, the ball level was 26%, and we were able to obtain a grind of 90%+ passing 75mic at a throughput of 350t/h. After conversion it's a nightmare to obtain 90%+ passing 75mic at the same thro

Horizontal Grinding Mill Overflow Type, Grate-discharge …

The overflow type of Ball Mill is designed to overflow and discharge materials from the trunnion on the outlet side.
