After coarse crushing, the material enters the ball mill through the feeding device. The grinding media in the ball mill obtains kinetic energy from the rotation of the mill, repeatedly impacting and grinding the material. The crushed material enters the suction tank at the tail of the ball mill and is transported to the classifier under the action of negative pressure for classification. The qualified fine powder is collected by the cyclone collector or dust collector, and the unqualified coarse particles are discharged from the bottom of the classifier and re-enter the ball mill through the feeding device for re-crushing.
Ball mill and airflow classifier automated production lines are widely used in industries such as quartz sand, calcium carbonate, and white corundum. These are the most advanced automated production lines for mineral crushing and classification, characterized by low energy consumption, high output, stable and efficient operation, mature technology, and controllable particle size. The process primarily includes crushing (generally using a two-stage crushing process), grinding, classification, packaging, silos, conveying, and lifting. The ball mill can be connected to multiple classifiers in parallel or in series to simultaneously produce products with varying particle sizes. The ball mill and classifier form a closed-loop system.
