اقرأ أكثرThe grinding curve is the product size as a function of feedrate, for a fixed feed size. It is proposed that for each new milling condition, in this case a change in the percentage of ball scats in a mill, the peak in the grinding curve must be sought, and that must be used as the comparative test condition. The single-point screenings were.

اقرأ أكثرSteel balls and rods are frequently used in tumbling mills as grinding media to assist in ore breakage. Fresh media are regularly fed into these mills to replace the media that are consumed though wear processes, and to maintain a steady filling level.
