Formulaearegivenbelow:

1.Forbatchtypeballmill:

M=0.000691xD2xL

where:

M=Weightofgrindingmediachargeinkgs

D=MillInternalDiaincms.afterlining

L=Internallengthofthemillincms.afterlining.

2.Forcontinuoustypeballmill:

M=0.000503xD2xL

ExampleTocalculategrindingmediachargeforasteatiteceramiclinedbatchtypemillsize:Dia6'x6'Long(Dia180cmx180cmL)(millopenings
arenotconsidered).

Thicknessoftaperedbricks=6.5cms

Thicknessofstraightbricks=4.2cms

Therefore

D=18013=167cms

L=1808.4=171.6cms

M=0.000691x167x167x171.6

Grindingmediaquantity=3307kgs

Tocalculatethemotorpowerrequiredforacylindricaltypeballmill,thefollowingformulacanbeapplied:

W=0.04116xD3xLxnx(0.6d+0.4d1)

where:

W=RequiredmotorpowerinHP

D=Internaldiaofthemillinmtr

L=Internallengthofthemillinmtr

d=Specificgravityofgrindingmedia

d1=Specificgravityofsubstance

n=Speedofballmillinrpm.

Example1:Lettheinternaldiaofthemillbe1.8mtrandinternallengthbe1.8mtr.IfAluminagrindingmediaisuseddensityd=3.6.
Ifmillingsubstanceisaluminainslurrryformwitharound70%solidsthend1=2.0

Therefore

W=0.04116x(1.8)4x19(3.6x0.6+2x0.4)=24.3HP

Example2:IfSteatitegrindingmediaareusedtomilltheglassfrit

d=2.65andd1=1.6then,

W=0.04116x(1.8)4x19x(2.65x0.6+1.6x0.4)=18.3HP
