2017 FEBRUARY : LAFARGE KARBALA PURCHASES FTR-MAGOTTEAUX BALL SORTING MACHINE
The ball sorting machine allows sorting of the balls from the first or second compartment of a Ball Mill. In order to sort the balls, there are two different drums available and they can easily and safely be swapped/changed. As standard, the ball sorting machine is supplied with one sorting-drum for 1st or 2nd chamber balls. The second sorting-drum is optional and be purchased separately.
To sort the balls manually requires a big amount of time costing money and labor.
For example;
A ball mil with 4,0 m diameter will have the following figures;
If the mill has 2 chambers:
there are approximately 3,6 million balls available in the mill
If the mill is mono chamber due to Roller Press:
there are approximately 4,0 – 4,2 million balls available in the mill.
It is essential to keep the best pre-determined ball charge distribution inside the ball mill as much as possible for its efficiency.
For this purpose, generally, the recommendation is to sort 1st compartment ball charge once a year and 2nd compartment ball charge every 2 years.
