What is a Ball Mill Explained: In-Depth Guide

The working principle of a ball mill is based on the premise of impact and attrition. The rotation of the shell lifts the grinding media and then releases it to impact the feed material. This results in smaller particles of the ore particles. On the other hand, this process continues until the size of the ore particles reaches the desired size.
