A: Yes, a ball mill can be used as a tumbling mill, but the reverse is not true. Tumbling mills are specifically designed for size reduction using a combination of forces, while ball mills are designed for grinding using impact and attrition forces. ← Previous Post.

The fraction of net-power draw that will be consumed by shearing and abrasion is determined by the charge volume. In the case of mill with 500 particles (7 vol%), no-lifter power is about 52% of the net power draw with lifters.In the case of mill with 1500 particles (20 vol%) no-lifter power represents 70.5% of total net power of the mill …

mill is different than the tumbling ball mill in many aspects. Djordjevic (2005) studied the influence of ball charge size distribution on the net-power draw of tumbling mill based on DEM modeling.

Introduction. Mill power drawn is a function of mill size (L and D), the loading (J), and operating conditions such as mill speed N, slurry/void ratio, slurry density, etc.However, these are not all the variables having influence on mill power. As systematically summarized by Rose and Sullivan (1958), apart from the aforementioned …

In tumbling mills, the charge motion and the power draw are largely a consequence of type and configuration of shell lifters for a given mill speed and filling. In recent years, with increasing mill size whose power draw has reached over 20 MW, the use of large face angle shell lifter especially in combination with wider lifter spacing has been ...

In stirred media grinding, the energy intensity (kW/m³) is very high versus tumbling mills. In the HIGmill the power intensity (installed) is typically 180 to330 kW/m³. This means a very "packed" ... In both pilot mills power draw is measured directly from the mill shaft by a torque sensor unit

The present work applies the mechanistic mill model approach originally developed for ball mills by the UFRJ research group to the description of batch grinding in a pilot-scale vertical stirred mill. The model is used in its original form (Carvalho and Tavares, 2013) and predictions are compared to grinding of two materials at different ...

It is also observed that the power draft of the mill increases with filling; at a mill speed of about 80% of critical, it reaches a maximum for about 50% mill filling. At high speeds, however, the power draft …

Usually, tumbling mills power equations have been derivate from mechanics as the product of torque and rotational speed. Models for the prediction of the power drawn by ball, semi-autogenous and fully autogenous mills have been developed and cited in the technical literature (Turner, 1982, Austin, 1990, Moys, 1993, Morrell, 1996 ...

The acceleration factor of the ball or rod mass is a function of the peripheral speed of the mill. Thus. n = c9np/√D, the above equation becomes P = f1 (D²)·f5 (πD c9 np/√D) = cs np D2.5. As a first approximation, the capacity, T, of a mill may be considered as a function of the force acting inside the mill.

Empirical models for the power draws of the tumbling mills do not consider the effect of lifters (Morrell, 1996; Napier-Munn et al., 1996; King, 2001). Input parameters are size of the mill, rotational speed and parameters related to the rock and steel balls. The issues of the lifter height and number are not considered.
