A Ball Mill is an efficient tool for grinding many materials into fine powder. The Ball Mill is used to grind many kinds of mined products and other materials. It is widely used in building material, chemical industry, etc. There are two ways of grinding: the dry way and the wet way. It can be divided into tabular type and flowing type according to different expelling mine. To use the Ball Mill, the material to be ground is loaded into the Neoprene barrel that contains grinding media. As the barrel rotates, the material is crushed between the individual pieces of grinding media that mix and crush the product into fine powder over a period of several hours.

Quite simply, the longer the Ball Mill runs, the finer the powder will be. Ultimate particle size depends entirely on how hard the material you're grinding is, and how long the Ball Mill runs for. Ball Mills have been used to grind glass, powder food products, create custom varnishes, make ceramic glaze, powder various chemicals, and make Black Powder.

Ball mills using multiple 1/2 ton steel balls are used to crush coal to a dust for injection into the combustion boilers at power stations.

The output is graded by sieves and any oversize material returned for further processing in the next batch.
