Ore-Specific Recommendation for Coal, Bauxite, Phosphate, Lithium, Nickel, Zinc, Manganese and Other Mines

Tell us your ore type, mill conditions and grinding challenges. Our engineers will analyze your operating data and recommend the right grinding media to reduce wear, lower breakage and improve throughput.

Ore-Specific Selection Lower Wear Rate Lower Breakage Better Throughput Traceable Quality

A. Solution Overview

Tell us your ore type, mill conditions and grinding challenges. Our engineers will analyze your operating data and recommend the right grinding media to reduce wear, lower breakage and improve throughput. Our application engineers focus on controlling wear rate, reducing breakage and improving throughput for lower total grinding cost.

B. Supported Ore Types & Common Challenges

Supported Ore Types

Coal Mine Bauxite Mine Phosphate Mine Lithium Mine Nickel Mine Zinc Mine Manganese Mine Other (Please Specify)

Common Grinding Challenges

  • High wear rate of grinding media
  • High breakage rate in large mills
  • Inconsistent product size or PSD
  • Low mill throughput
  • High cost per ton of ore
  • Unstable supply or inconsistent quality

C. What We Need to Recommend the Right Grinding Media

Information Needed Why It Matters
Ore type Different ores require different media hardness and chemistry.
Mill type Ball mill, SAG mill, or rod mill affects media selection.
Feed size & target product size Determines breakage rate and grinding efficiency.
Throughput (t/h) Affects media loading, size distribution, and wear.
Ore hardness (Mohs) Key factor for selecting media hardness.
Abrasiveness Determines wear rate and media material.
Current media size Helps optimize size for better performance.
Current wear rate Indicates wear level and cost per ton.
Breakage issues Helps adjust media size, quality, and conditions.
