operating cost in a ball mill vs in a tower mill

Over a period of many years various fine grinding machines have been developed and used but the ball mill has become standard due to its simplicity and low operating cost GRINDING MILLS A ball mill efficiently operated performs a wide variety of services

Stirred Mills have been proven to provide energy savings compared with traditional ball mills The finer the product required the more efficient stirred mills will be than a ball mill The attrition grinding action vertical arrangement and the finer media size distribution contribute to make stirred mills more energy efficient grinding machines

Several types of ball mill exist They differ to an extent in their operating principle They also differ in their maximum capacity of the milling vessel ranging from 0010 litres for planetary ball mill mixer mill or vibration ball mill to several 100 litres for horizontal rolling ball mills

Included are capital and operating costs for over 3000 equipment items most commonly found at mines and mills around the world from 2 HP pumps to 2000 HP trucks from 200 slusher buckets to 30000000 walking draglines

Metallurgical ContentOpen Circuit GrindingClosed Circuit GrindingGrinding Circuit Process Control VariablesGrinding Operating Costs The simplest grinding circuit consists of a ball or rod mill in closed circuit with a classifier the flow sheet is shown in Fig 25 and the actual layout in Fig 9 This singlestage circuit is chiefly employed for coarse grinding when a product finer than 65

For a ball mill grinding OPC to a fineness of 3200 to 3600 cm2g Blaine the cost of wear parts ball liners and mill internals is typically 015020 EUR per ton of cement For an OK mill grinding a similar product the cost of wear parts depends on the maintenance procedures ie whether hardfacing is

In Grinding selecting calculate the correct or optimum ball size that allows for the best and optimumideal or target grind size to be achieved by your ball mill is an important thing for a Mineral Processing Engineer AKA Metallurgist to do Often the ball used in ball mills is oversize “just in case” Well this safety factor can cost you much in recovery andor mill liner wear and

Thus in a given grinding circuit for a certain feed rate a pebble mill would be much larger than a ball mill with correspondingly a higher capital cost However the increase in capital cost is justified economically by a reduction in operating cost attributed to the elimination of steel grinding media

Our capital costs are actual list prices or reliable approximations Our operating costs are solid engineering estimates If you have confidence in your equipment selection procedures you and others will have confidence in your cost estimates if you rely on Mine Mill Equipment Costs

The twocompartment ball mill operating in a closed circuit with a high efficiency separator is thus still the most preferred arrangement for new cement grinding installations although the vertical roller mill now has emerged as a viable alternative to the ball mill system and has increased its share of the market for cement mills over

Typically the motor of the ball mill consumes about 14 15 kWh ton of raw mix whereas the VRM motor uses 7 8 kWh ton On an overall basis VRM consumes about 20 lower specific energy than conventional closed circuit ball mills and is being widely used for

A ball mill 483mm x 908mm equipped with a feed chute was used without media as a mixer as shown in Figure 7 Figure 8 shows the particle size distributions obtained from the Vertimill pilot test

Metso grinding mills are available at a low total cost of ownership due to low installation and operating costs as well as simple maintenance We can help you determine the optimum setup for your needs to maximize the profitability of your operation

The High Energy Ball Mill E max and MM 500 were developed for grinding with the highest energy input The innovative design of both the mills and the grinding jars allows for continuous grinding down to the nano range in the shortest amount of time with only minor warming effects These ball mills are also suitable for mechano chemistry
