Ball Mill VS Rod Mill: Difference & Selection
The product particle size is 1~3mm. When used for rough grinding, choose a rod mill. The product particle size is less than 0.5mm. When used for fine grinding, choose a ball mill. The product of the rod mill is rougher but more uniform than the ball mill's. According to the production method.

Selection Criteria For Grinding Balls
1. Material selection. Material selection needs to consider the density, hardness and chemical properties of the material to be grinded, in general, we have to choose a grinding ball with a greater density and hardness than the sample, so as to achieve the effect of grinding; In addition, during the working process of the ball mill, a large amount of heat …

Ball Mill (Ball Mills Explained)
If a ball mill uses little or no water during grinding, it is a 'dry' mill. If a ball mill uses water during grinding, it is a 'wet' mill. A typical ball mill will have a drum length that is 1 or 1.5 times the drum diameter. Ball mills with a drum length to diameter ratio greater than 1.5 are referred to as tube mills.

Size Reduction | SpringerLink
A ball mill consists of a cylinder, which is filled with 30–35% of its volume by small steel balls and is rotated through motor. When the cylinder starts to rotate, the balls start to lift under centrifugal and frictional forces and fall back into the cylinder and onto the feed as gravitational pull exceeds those forces (Fig. 6.5 ).
