ball mill gap measurement

The first two Grinding Efficiency Measurement examples are given to show how to calculate Wio and Wioc for single stage ball mills Figure 1 The first example is a comparison of two parallel mills from a daily operating report Mill size 503m x 61m 165′ x 20′ with a ID of 16′ This example shows that Mill 2 is slightly more efficient than Mill 1 even though it has a higher power

The basic parameters used in ball mill design power calculations rod mill or any tumbling mill sizing are material to be ground characteristics Bond Work Index bulk density specific density desired mill tonnage capacity DTPH operating solids or pulp density feed size as F80 and maximum ‘chunk size’ product size as P80 and maximum and finally the type of circuit openclosed

Ball mill A typical type of fine grinder is the ball millA slightly inclined or horizontal rotating cylinder is partially filled with balls usually stone or metal which grind material to the necessary fineness by friction and impact with the tumbling balls Ball mills normally operate with an approximate ball charge of 30

As the ball wear rate depends directly on the surface of the media charge a small variation in power will lead to an important increase of wear rate The risk of underloading or overloading the mill is an additional factor A direct measurement of the ball level in the mill more accurate than power readings as well as a control of it is

Runout of a gear can be measured with a dial indicator over a pin or ball placed in successive tooth spaces On modern CNC gear measuring machines this inspection can be provided in a fully automatic cycle Runout measurement is used to assure correct backlash and minimum variation of rotary motion Figure 3 Runout inspection with ball pin

Jul 31 2010 · 4 x 90 deg in your case For salient poles measure across each pole Also for salient poles you have to make sure that you are measuring the airgap at the center of the pole where it is minimum No need to turn the rotor unless youre measuring the rotor or stator runout Muthu

Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds The feed to ball mills dry basis is typically 75 vol ore and 25 steel The ball mill is operated in closed circuit with a particlesize measurement device and sizecontrol cyclones

The second approach to ball diameter calibration is the socalled absolute method In absolute measurement temperature is a first order error that must be held at 68 °F 20 °C exactly or any variations must be compensated for A micrometer or threaddriven measuring machine is an example of the absolute concept

Since I’d been using my mill for awhile without making any adjustments I figured there was no good way to determine what the exact roller gap was Given the common advice to use a credit card as a way to achieve a 0030″ gap believed by many to produce a pretty ideal crush size that’s what I

Ball Mills use grinding media in spherical or cylindrical shapes in rotating containers to grind a wide range of material types to very fine sizes Jars and grinding media are available in a wide variety of material types to optimize performance characteristics for longterm wearresistance low contamination levels or economical operation

the mill is used primarily to lift the load medium and charge Additional power is required to keep the mill rotating 813 Power drawn by ball semiautogenous and autogenous mills A simplified picture of the mill load is shown in Figure 83 Ad this can be used to establish the essential features of a model for mill
