What is the difference between Raymond mill and ball mill?

1. First of all, from the structural point of view, the Raymond mill is a vertical structure, and the ball mill is a horizontal structure, which occupies a larger area than the Raymond mill.
 

2. From the point of view of use, Raymond mill is suitable for processing non-metallic mineral materials with a hardness of less than 7 levels, such as limestone, calcite, barite, talc, kaolin, bentonite, gypsum, coal, etc., while ball mills are mostly used for metal ores , Grinding and pulverizing of cement clinker, wear-resistant materials and other high-hardness materials. The ball mill has better wear resistance than the Raymond mill, but the Raymond mill has a more stable and uniform fineness than the ball mill, and the quality of the finished powder is higher.

3. In terms of production capacity, the ball mill has larger output, higher energy consumption, and greater noise. However, with the continuous upgrading of the Raymond Mill, its production capacity has also made great breakthroughs. The new generation of Liming Heavy Industry upgraded the European version. The output per hour of the milling machine can reach 3-55 tons, which can also meet the requirements of modernization, large-scale and centralized production of the powder industry today.
 

4. From the perspective of investment, the overall investment of ball mills is greater than that of Raymond mills. Therefore, Raymond mill products are also widely used grinding equipment in the powder industry for many years. Many non-metallic mineral powder projects have chosen to install more Economical and practical Raymond mill production line.
 

5. In terms of environmental protection, today’s powder industry has strict environmental management and control, and many powder factories have completed upgrading and transformation. The upgraded European version of the Raymond mill runs on a negative pressure system, which can control the dust during the production process. Excess dust can be collected by pulse dust collector through a pipeline. The production environment of the whole workshop is clean and environmentally friendly. However, the ball mill system occupies a large area and the whole system is more difficult to control in terms of environmental protection and noise.
 

The main difference between Raymond mill and ball mill above, users can choose equipment reasonably according to their actual production needs. It is recommended that if the raw material is non-metallic mineral material, use Raymond mill; if the raw material is metal ores and other difficult-to-grind materials, use ball mill.
