Grinding media

Grinding balls are only one type of grinding media. Grinding media are the means used to crush or grind material (cement, mineral, …) in a mill. Grinding media sorting is performed when the ball load wears out. New grinding balls are then added or full reload is carried out to keep optimum filling degree and hence mill performance.

According to the material to be crushed or ground, grinding media can have

• Different forms: grinding balls, boulpebs (cylinders with rounded tops), rods or even beads.
• Different sizes: balls (diameters from 10 to 150mm), rods (different length and diameters),…
• Different composition (alloy): high or low chromium content for steel and iron balls for example.
• Different manufacturing process: balls for instance, can be cast or forged for instance.

Ruinian  is the one China supplier offering the full range of grinding balls in particular and grinding media in general: cast and forged, low and high chromium, balls/boulpebs/rodsIt is usually a specialized process engineer who will recommend best suited media, shape, size and alloy.

He will also calculate the mill’s optimum filling degree according to several parameters such as mill type and size, material to be ground, specific operating parameters and of course the targets of each installation (more tons a day, increased fineness of the finished product, cost,…).
