Comparison of energy efficiency between ball mills and stirred mills .
WEBJun 1, 2009 · At product sizes finer than 80% passing 75 μm, the efficiency of ball mill grinding rapidly decreases. The practical limit to ball mill product fineness is considered to be 40–45 μm (Gao and Weller, 1994). Although ball mills can still be found in the regrind circuits in a number of mineral processing plants, their energy consumption is ...
