What are the Main Types and Uses of Ball Mill?

Generally speaking, the industrial ball mills can be divided into cement mill screw, steel ball mill, cement mill, tube mill, cone ball mill, energy-saving ball mill and overflow type ball mills. Among them, cement mill is the most widely used type of ball milling machine as cement plants can be seen everywhere.

Cement mill is a horizontal cylinder type device which can be used for grinding cement raw materials with dry type and wet type. Tube mill is the crucial equipment for crushing the materials after they are coarsely crushed. Cone ball mill is a common ball grinding machine widely used in the ore beneficiation plant. This type of milling equipment changes the structure of traditional ball mills and integrates the separate machine body and chassis into a whole one. This type of ball grinding machine is mainly used for grinding all kinds of ores and other grindable materials.

The uses of ball mill are mainly represents in such industries as ore beneficiation, ceramics, chemistry, cement, glass and refractory. Ball mills can be divided into two types: dry type and wet type. The former type is mainly used in refractory, cement, fertilizer, glass and other industries and the latter type is mainly used in ore beneficiation, ceramics and chemistry. In recent years, our company has newly researched and developed highly efficient and energy saving cone ball mill with bearing transmission and it can save energy by 25-30%.
