Size Reduction Abj 2

The document discusses various size reduction equipment, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of hammer mills, ball mills, and roller mills. Hammer mills are efficient and easy to operate but can lead to heat buildup and are unsuitable for certain materials. Ball mills produce fine powders and can handle toxic substances, but they are noisy and slow, while roller mills are also mentioned without specific details.

SIZE REDUCTION
VARIOUS
EQUIPMENTS USE

IN SIZE REDUCTION
ADVANTAGES OF HAMMER MILL

• It is rapid in action, and is capable of grinding many


different types of materials.
• They are easy to install and operate, the operation
is continuous.
• There is little contamination of the product with
metal abraded from the mill as no surface move
against each other.
• The particle size of the material to be reduced can
be easily controlled by changing the speed of the
rotor, hammer type, shape and size of the screen.
DISADVANTAGES
• Heatbuildup during milling is
more, therefore, product degradation
is possible.
• Hammer mills cannot be employed
to mill sticky, fibrous and hard materials.
• The screens may get clogged. Wearing of mill
and screen is more with abrasive materials.
BALL MILL

• These are also knows as tumbling mills.


• Principle: The ball mill works on the principle of
impact between the rapidly moving balls and the
powder material, both enclosed in a hollow cylinder.
• At low speeds, the ball roll over each other and
attrition (rubbing action) will be the predominate
mode of action. Thus, in the ball mill, impact or
attrition or both are responsible for the size
reduction.
Advantages:
• It can produce very fine powder.
• Ball mill is used for both wet and dry grinding
processes.
• Toxic substances can be ground, as the cylinder is
closed system.
• Rod or bars can also be used as grinding media.
• (example: Sticky material are size reduced) In ball
mill,
• installation, operation and labour costs are low.
Disadvantages:

• The ball mill is a very noisy machine.


• Ball mill is a slow process.
• Soft, tacky, fibrous material cannot be milled
by ball mill.
