Tips on Ball Mill
Operation
In ore processing
plant, ball mills work
together with other ore
beneficiation equipments rather than work singly. Usually, ball mill working

group consists of classifier, lubrication
system, and feeder and so on. Equipments within the group are closely connected
with one another. They
complement each other to finish the mineral
separation process. Then, how do we make them more coordinate to complete the
whole process.
The following tips should be earnestly put into practice to
keep the ore separation plant in order.
1.You should start the machine one by
one according to the materials flow （usually from up to down）. Generally, you
start oil pump first, and then
classifier, ball mill, belt conveyor and feeder. You
are forbidden to start all machines at once. When you plant to stop the
equipments, the order
is just the opposite. Moreover, you should leave
intervals when you start those machines.
2.Materials can be fed after the
machines operate steadily. About 20 minutes later, mineral particles can be fed
to ball mill.
3.You should turn the machine 23 rounds before starting.
Meanwhile, the ball mill should at least keep still four hours in order loosing
bonding
of the slime and media. Try every possible means to clean up all
materials inside the machine to create favorable condition for next start. For

instance, ball mill should stop about 15 hours after feeding
stops.
4.Avoid long time operation of ball mill without feeding so that the
balls will not be worn.
During the whole working process, you should insist
in a detailed and comprehensive inspection to clear up all obstacles of ore
beneficiation.
Remember, every detail can become accomplices to hinder your
success, and must not be taken lightly.
