Ball Mill Components and Operation

Low cost of installation, adjustable capacity and fineness, suitable for batch and continuous operation, applicable for open and closed-circuit grinding, suitable for materials of all degrees of hardness, and cheap grinding medium.

Filtration is the removal of solid particles from a fluid by passing the fluid through a filtering medium where the solids are deposited.

Fluid flows through a filter medium due to a pressure differential across the medium.
