ECONOMY BALL MILLS
Our standard design Mills use tapered roller bearings mounted on machine turned trunnions, assuring long life and smooth operation. Mill Stands are of fabricated steel allowing for the discharge clearance required by the customer.
Economy Ball Mills are powered by high start torque motors and, depending on customer preference and design requirements, a direct connect shaft mounted speed reducer or a concentric shaft reducer with a gear and pinion is used to complete the drive train.
Motor Mounted Air Brakes are used when required, for stopping and positioning the mill for charging and discharging. Air Brakes allow for soft stopping, thus reducing shock loading on the drive train.
Stainless Steel Ball Mills
Stainless Steel balls are typically used in scenarios where breakdown of carbon steel balls is considered a contaminant. The precious metals industry such as tungsten alloys is very particular when it comes to "cross contamination" of carbon. So much so that they count it in parts per million (PPM).
Stainless steel balls are also used in food grade and pharmaceutical applications that regulatory entities such as the FDA or USDA may be involved in. In other words, anytime you are looking for a pure product, especially in dry milling applications, then stainless steel is the preferred grinding media of choice. This prevents any contamination of the product you are reducing the size of.
Unlined Steel Ball Mills
Fabricated of AR 400 Abrasion resistant Steel, generally furnished with welded or bolted Lifter Bars.
Alumina Lined Ball Mills
A steel cylinder lined with 2” thick high density alumina tongue & groove brick using standard Portland cement or epoxy mortar for special applications.
Rubber Lined Ball Mills
A steel cylinder lined with Abrasion Resistant Natural Rubber.
BALL MILL OPTIONS
We have the right ball mill for your needs
Jacketed Mill Cylinders
Jackets are provided with equally spaced baffles for positive circulation and to eliminate short-circuiting of heating or cooling medium. Jackets are furnished complete with rotary unions.
Dry Grinding
Requires a stationary Discharge Housing. Our Full Discharge Housing encloses the entire Mill Cylinder- sealing at the Mill Trunnions; our Narrow Discharge Housing seals against machined bars welded to the Mill Cylinder, using spring loaded seals around the circumference of the Mill.
Drive Trains for Smaller Horsepower Equipment
Drive Trains for Larger Horsepower Equipment
Requirements: Gear and pinion drive
Mill Linings: High Density Alumina Tongue & Groove Brick Lining
Mill Linings: Alumina Brick
These linings are installed with the aim of achieving two specific objectives: controlling carbon contamination and ensuring the importance of color in the final product.
Mill Linings: Natural Rubber
Lifter Bars: Provided in unlined steel, ceramic or rubber linings
Provided in unlined steel, ceramic or rubber linings.
Motor Mounted Air Brakes
Provided for positioning & holding the mill cylinder with minimum shock loading to the drive train with an adjustable ‘soft start’.
