OPERATING PRINCIPLE:

DOVE ball mills is a rotating horizontal cylinder that tumbles the material to grind with a certain media. The standard media that we use in our ball milling process are the steel grinding balls, however depending on the specific application, we can configure the grinding mill with different media.

DOVE supplies various types and sizes of Ball Mill Balls, including; Cast Iron steel Balls, Forged grinding steel balls, High Chrome cast steel bars, with surface hardness of 60-68 HRC. DOVE Ball Mills achieves size reduction by impact and attrition. When the cylinder rotates, the balls are dragged to almost the top of the shell, and from there, they fall unto the material, which lead to the material breaking due to the impact.

DOVE Ball Mills are used in hard rock mineral processing plants as an ore-dressing step to grind the rocks into fine powder size, liberating the mineral particles from the rocks. This will ensure that the ore is well prepared for the next stage of processing and optimize the recovery of the minerals.

Ball Mill

DOVE ball mill is integrated and used in DOVE Portable and Semi-Stationary Hard Rock plants (Hard Rock processing plants) to efficiently grind the ore from primary deposit until the liberation size of valuable minerals is reached. DOVE ball mill is the key grinding equipment after material is crushed. It is used to grind and blend bulk material into powder form using different sized balls. The working principle is simple, impact and attrition size reduction take place as the ball drops from near the top of the rotating hollow cylindrical shell of the Ball Mill. The output materials will be feed to the processing and recovery machines.

Ball Mill set up at the mining site.

DOVE Ball Mills are deigned for either wet or dry grinding of materials, in various models, and in accordance to the processing and the crushing plant design, to cater to the liberation size of the minerals and the hardness of the ore.

DOVE supplies two different kinds of ball mills Grate type, and Overflow type. The difference between the two types is according to their ways of discharging material, and the plant flow design specifications.

The Grinding Balls will grind the material into powder size of 20 to 75 micron. In mining operations, this will allow for the liberation of gold and other precious metals that are hosted by the rocks. Many types of grinding media are suitable for use in a ball mill, each material having its own specific properties, specification and advantages.

Key factors of grinding media are consist of the following:

  • Media Size: The grinding media particles should be substantially larger than the largest pieces of final material after grinding. The smaller the media particles, the smaller the particle size of the final product.
  • Density: The media should be denser than the material being ground. It becomes a problem if the grinding media floats on top of the material to be ground.
  • Hardness: The grinding media needs to be harder than the material to be milled to grind the material, but, where possible, not so tough that it also wears down the grinding mill.
  • Composition: Each ball mill application has different requirements. Some of these requirements are relates to the grinding media being in the finished product, while others are based on how the media will react with the material being milled. Therefor, grinding media selection plays major factor on the final milled product.
  • Color: In certain application of ball mill process the color of the finished product is important, therefor, color and material of the grinding media must be selected accordingly.
  • Contamination: In certain grinding mill process, low contamination is important, the grinding media may be selected for ease of separation from the finished product, for example steel dust produced from steel balls can be magnetically separated from non-ferrous products. An alternative to separation is to use media of the same material as the product being milled.
  • Corrosive: Certain type of media, such as steel balls, may react with corrosive materials. For this reason, stainless steel balls, or ceramic balls, and flint grinding media may each be used when corrosive substances are present during grinding.
