Basic Ball Mill Grinding Circuit
— Grinding coarse ore in a ball-mill is done by steel balls of three sizes (5, 4, and 3 inches); fine ore is ground in a tube-mill by 2- and 1½-inch balls or by flint pebbles or by hard, rounded mine rock such as quartzite. These grinding media wear to small sizes, and new ones must be added regularly to make up the weight.
