ball mill
Tumbling grinding cylinder
A ball mill is a rotating cylindrical drum partially filled with steel balls or other grinding media, used to pulverize materials into fine powder.
The tumbling action crushes ore, pigments, ceramics, or other substances as the drum turns.
Ball mills are standard equipment in mining, cement production, and materials processing: The ore goes through the ball mill before extraction.
