5. Purposes of a partition

Ball Mill Internals
Purposes of a partition
• Main partition roles
• Keep grinding media in several compartments
• Material flow control (double wall)
• Help air flow (lowest pressure drop)
• Specific roles
• For intermediate partitions: control the compartment
output material size

7. Single wall partition

Ball Mill Internals
Single wall partition
• It is only a ball screen between the chambers
Advantage
• Do not take much
space
Disadvantages
• No flow regulation
• Small difference of ball
filling rate between
chambers

1. Material fills the chamber ,
in between the slotted plates
and blind plates
Lifters can be curved, straight or adjustable.
Assembly is sometimes called a partition's spider.

11. Full liftered double wall partition

Ball Mill Internals
Full liftered double wall partition
• Advantage
• Accelerate material flow in
the mill
• Disadvantage
• Tendency to empty the first
chamber

13. Adjustable double wall partition

Ball Mill Internals
Adjustable double wall partition
• Purpose
• Control the empty zone before the partition by
regulating the material level in the partition
• Control different filling rates in both chambers
KUJ – July 2012 – Grinding I - 13

14. Slegten Adjustable Partition Wall

Ball Mill Internals
Slegten Adjustable Partition Wall
• Fitted with scoops inside the partition.
• Position of the scoops to adjust to control the flow (trial and
error)

17. Compound mill outlet partition

Ball Mill Internals
Compound mill outlet partition
• Purpose
• Evacuate the material flow
out of the mill
• Allow the nibs to go out of
the mill
• Two existing types
• Full lifting
• With flow control

The design of the slots, slot width and
stability of the slot shape have an
important process function.

23. Slots design

Ball Mill Internals
Slots design
Some metal will peen
over the slot, but it will
break off here in time
Best design
(concentrically)
With the slot flared
out, material can pass
freely without jamming
Beyond here, the slot begins to widen
KUJ – July 2012 – Grinding I - 23

24. Slots design

Ball Mill Internals
Slots design
• Peening of slots
• Consequence: slots
have to be opened by
manual grinding

25. Outer Grate Casting

Ball Mill Internals
Outer Grate Casting
• Cast grooves to protect slots

28. Ventilation Screens

Ball Mill Internals
Ventilation Screens
Good permeability
• Purpose
• Insure gas flow
• Preventing balls from passing
between compartments
• Specifications
• Maximum permeability (cleanliness)
• Mechanical behaviour with the
90 mm balls
• Screen# < 40 mm in C1
• Screen# < 15 mm in C2
to prevent 20 mm balls from escaping
• Corrective measures
• Cleaning or replacement
Total lack of permeability
