Working Principle of Crushers
On left is a showing of the “standard gyratory with straight concaves” is a section through any vertical, radial plane in the crushing chamber of one of the intermediate sizes of the crusher. In order to understand the crushing action in such a chamber it is helpful to consider the process as though each step took […]

Ball Mill Motor Power Draw Sizing and Design Formula
The following equation is used to determine the power that wet grinding overflow ball mills should draw. For mills larger than 3.3 meters (10 feet) diameter inside liners, the top size of the balls used affects the power drawn by the mill. This is called the ball size factor S. Rod and Ball Mills […]
