Specification of 40 Ton Ball Mill Model 6980*3600 for Industrial Grinding Operations

In the realm of heavy-duty industrial grinding, the 40-ton Ball Mill Model 6980*3600 stands as a workhorse, designed for robust and continuous operation in processing a wide range of materials. This spec sheet delves into the core attributes and operational parameters of this formidable piece of machinery, a common choice for large-scale beneficiation, construction, and chemical industry applications.

The mill features a horizantal rotating cylinder, or shell, with dimensions of 6980mm in length and 3600mm in diameter, transmitted by an outer gear system. The chamber is lined with wear-resistant ladder and ripple liners and is filled with various specifications of steel grinding media. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation lifts these balls, which then cascade and impact the feed material, resulting in efficient size reduction through a combination of impact and abrasion forces.

Key Operational Parameters:

  • Input Size: <25 mm
  • Capacity: Up to 50 tph (tonnes per hour), depending on material characteristics and desired fineness.
  • Drive System: Outer gear drive for reliable power transmission.
  • Grinding Media: High-chrome or forged steel balls.

The advantages of this ball mill model are its realtively lower initial investment compared to some newer technologies, its energy efficiency within its class, and its proven, stable, and reliable performance for general and special ore milling. Its structure is novel yet simple, making it generally easy and safe to operate and maintain.

Considering an Upgrade? Look at Our Advanced Solutions

While the 6980*3600 ball mill is a capable machine for many tasks, modern operations often demand higher efficiency, finer products, and lower energy consumption. For applications requiring ultra-fine powders (325-2500 meshes), we highly recomend considering our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill. This advanced piece of equipment is engineered for customers who need to make ultra-fine powder with higher yielding and significantly lower energy consumption – it’s system energy usage is only 30% of a jet mill! It features a cage-type powder selector for adjustable fineness and a design free of rolling bearings and screws in the grinding chamber, eliminating common failure points. Equipped with an efficient pulse dust collector and muffler, it ensures a cleaner, quieter operation that meets national environmental protection standards.

For operations seeking exceptional efficiency in a vertical configuration, our LUM Ultrafine Vertical Grinding Mill is another premier choice. Integrating grinding, grading, and transporting, it boasts higher yielding rates and better product quality thanks to its unique roller shell and lining plate grinding curve. It employs more energy-saving multi-head powder separating technology and double position-limiting technology for remarkable stability. Its reversible structure also makes maintenance tasks, like checking and replacing roller shells, far easier and quicker, thereby reducing costly downtime.
