If the peripheral speed of the mill is too great, it begins to act like a centrifuge and the balls do not fall back, but stay on the perimeter of the mill. The point where the mill becomes a centrifuge is called the "Critical Speed", and ball mills usually operate at 65% to 75% of the critical speed. Ball mills are generally used to grind material 1/4 inch and finer, down to the particle size

The speed of a ball mill is a critical factor influencing its grinding performance and overall efficiency. At low speeds, the grinding balls tend to slide or roll over each other, resulting in minimal size reduction. Conversely, at high speeds, centrifugal force causes the balls to be thrown against the cylinder wall, preventing effective grinding. Optimal performance is achieved at …

The critical speed of a ball mill is a fundamental concept in grinding operations, representing the speed at which the grinding medium (typically steel balls) begins to rotate along the inner walls of the mill, resulting in no effective grinding action. For efficient grinding, the ball mill must operate above this critical speed to ensure the grinding medium tumbles and impacts the material
