Comparison of Ball Mill, Roller Mill and Vertical Mill

Ball mill, roller mill and vertical mill are widely applied in powder processing. The following article will analyze the advantages and disadvantages for you.

1.Material moisture
For slag grinding, material moisture for ball mill system cannot be more than 3-8%, in roller mill system, the number can be less than 15%. And for vertical mill, the moisture ca reach 28%.

2.Wear-resistance parts service life
For grinding equipment, wear-resistance parts affect total capacity and cost in some extent. For the three equipment, service life of ball mill>3 years, the rest two>2 years.

3.Floor space
Floor space affect production cost. So, enterprises prefer to choose smaller equipment under same capacity. Floor space: roller mill>ball mill>vertical mill.

4.Unit power consumption
Powder processing is a high energy consumption operation. Power consumption: ball mill 35kwh/t, vertical mill 21kwh/t, roller mill 20kwh/t.

We can see that, vertical mill has advantages in floor space and material moisture. Enterprises can select the most suitable equipment.
