Ball Mill Loading - Dry MillingBall Mill Loading (dry milling)When charging a ball mill, ceramic lined mill, pebble mill, jar mill or laboratory jar use on a jarrolling mill it is important to have the correct amount of media and correct amount of product.Charging a Dry Mill – The general operation of a grinding mill is to have the product impactedbetween the balls as they tumble. If there are insufficient solids in the mill then the media will strikitself and generate excessive media wear. If too much product then the solid may buffer the impactoo much. As with most of the independent variable in ball milling it is best to do some empiricaltesting and then adjust your parameters. The starting point for ball mill media and solids charginggenerally starts as follows:

50% media chargeAssuming 26% void space between spherical balls (non-spherical, irregularly shaped andmixed-size media will increase or decrease the free space)50% x 26% = 13% free spaceAdd to this another 10%-15% above the ball charge for total of 23% to 25% product loading

So as a rule of thumb we use 25% solid loading.Empirical Check: Once the mill has been loaded and run for a few minutes, open the coverand look down into the mill. You should see some discernible layer of product on top of thmedia. If you can actually see the media then is too little solids charge. Most solids willdecrease in volume as the particle size is reduced, so you may have to add more solids ancheck the solids volume again after a few hours. Once the quantity is finally determined,you can simply load the mill with the total amount of solids during the initial mill charging.
