Ball Mill Grinding 325 Mesh 200TPH Ball Mill In Cement Industry

Ball mill Grinding to 325 mesh

1.Product Introduction

Ball mill grinding to 325 mesh refers to grinding materials to a fineness of 325 mesh (approximately 47 micrometers) using a ball mill. This falls under the category of ultrafine grinding and is widely used in industrial fields with high particle size requirements, such as high-end ceramics, electronic materials, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fine chemicals.

2.Application

1.  Refractory Material Manufacturing

• 
  
• Preparation of Magnesia-Chrome Bricks: Chromium ore powder is ground to 325 mesh and then mixed with magnesia sand for sintering. This significantly improves slag erosion resistance and thermal shock stability, making it widely used in steel ladle slag lines, electric arc furnace linings, and cement rotary kiln linings.

• High-Alumina Bricks and Corundum Bricks: Bauxite or corundum raw materials are ball-milled to 325 mesh to increase particle packing density and improve the compactness and refractoriness of the products.

• Unshaped Refractory Materials: Adding 325-mesh fine powder to spray coatings and castables improves workability and sintering bond strength.

• 
  

2. Ceramics and Glass Industry

• Ceramic Glazes:Quartz powder and feldspar powder ground to 325 mesh enable low-temperature rapid firing, improving glaze smoothness and transparency, and reducing defects such as pinholes and orange peel.

• Advanced Ceramics:Alumina, zirconium oxide, and other ceramic powders must reach a mesh size of 325 or higher to ensure uniform green body forming and prevent cracking. Suitable for electronic ceramics, structural ceramics, and other fields.

• Specialty Glasses: High-purity 325-mesh quartz powder is used to manufacture low-expansion-coefficient glass, optical glass, and photovoltaic glass, ensuring uniform melting and high light transmittance.

• 
  

3. Precision Casting and Coating

• Preventing Sand Adhesion: A 325-mesh coating of chromite powder or zircon powder is applied to the mold surface, forming a dense isolation layer to prevent high-temperature molten metal from seeping into the sand mold.

• Improving Surface Finish: The fine powder coating can replicate the intricate texture of the mold, achieving a casting surface close to that of a machined part, reducing subsequent polishing costs.

• Lost Foam Casting: A coating formulated with 325-mesh refractory aggregate is used to improve the balance between coating strength and permeability.

• 
  

4. Mineral Processing and Metallurgy

• Gold and Copper Ore Beneficiation: Ball milling to 325 mesh achieves liberation of valuable minerals, improving flotation recovery rates. For example, gold ore often requires "80% passing through 325 mesh" as a grinding fineness indicator.

• Heavy Calcium Carbonate and Talc: Used as fillers in the plastics, rubber, and paper industries, 325 mesh is the basic grade, with higher requirements reaching 600–2500 mesh.

• Spodumene Lithium Extraction Pretreatment: Ball milling to 325 mesh enhances the acid leaching or roasting reaction rate, improving lithium extraction efficiency.

• 
  

5. New Energy and New Materials

• Battery material precursors: Iron phosphate and ternary material precursors need to be ball-milled to the micron level to ensure consistent sintering.

• Additive manufacturing (3D printing): Metal powders (such as titanium alloys and stainless steel) require a particle size distribution concentrated at -325 mesh (<47μm) to ensure uniform powder spreading and dense molding.

• Functional fillers: 325-mesh ceramic or metal powders are used in thermally conductive silicone grease and electromagnetic shielding materials to control thermal/electrical conductivity.

3.Working Principle

Ball mill grinding to 325 mesh" refers to the process of grinding materials into ultrafine powder with a particle size of approximately 47 micrometers (i.e., able to pass through a sieve with 325 holes per inch) using a ball mill. Its core principle is to use the impact, friction, and shearing action of grinding media (such as steel balls) in a rotating cylinder to gradually crush and refine large particles to the target fineness.

4.Advantages

1. Fine Particle Size, Meeting High-End Industrial Needs

• High Specific Surface Area: Finer particles result in a larger specific surface area, significantly enhancing reactivity. This makes it suitable for applications requiring high chemical activity, such as desulfurization ash activation and ceramic glaze sintering.

• Good Uniformity: The ball milling process achieves a narrow particle size distribution, avoiding agglomeration and segregation, and improving the stability of subsequent molding or coating processes.

• 
  

2. Closed-Circuit System Support, High and Controllable Grinding Efficiency

• Automatic Classification and Recycling: After grinding, the material is screened by a classifier; coarse particles are returned for regrinding, while fine powder is directly collected, ensuring stable and compliant output.

• Energy Optimization: By adjusting air velocity, rotational speed, and feed rate, unit energy consumption can be reduced while maintaining fineness, meeting energy conservation and emission reduction targets.

• Continuous Production: Supports long-term stable operation, suitable for large-scale industrial applications, such as a 400,000-ton-per-year desulfurization ash treatment project.

• 
  

3. Mature Equipment and Relatively Low Maintenance Costs

• Simple and Reliable Structure: Ball mills are traditional industrial equipment with mature technology, low failure rate, and easy operation.

• Wear-Resistant Design Extends Service Life: The inner lining of the cylinder is made of highly wear-resistant ceramic or polyurethane materials, ensuring a long service life for key components.

• Recyclable Media: Steel or alumina balls can be partially recycled after wear, reducing long-term operating costs.
