Steel Ball Coal Mill Manufacturing Process


The ball mill is a key piece of equipment in the pulverizing system of thermal power plants, used to grind raw coal into fine coal powder that meets combustion requirements. The equipment operates by rotating its cylindrical shell at low speed, causing the steel balls inside to rise and then fall, thereby breaking down the raw coal through impact, compression, and grinding actions. At the same time, hot air is introduced to dry the coal powder, and the qualified fine powder is conveyed to the boiler, while the coarse powder is returned to the mill for regrinding. This type of mill boasts broad coal-type adaptability, stable operation, and controllable coal-powder fineness. However, it has certain drawbacks, including a relatively large footprint, higher energy consumption, and elevated operational noise levels. It is widely used in material-grinding applications across industries such as thermal power generation, building materials, and metallurgy.

Production and Manufacturing Process for Roller-Disk, Roller-Bowl, and Ball-Ring Coal Mills

The three types of coal mills all fall under the category of medium-speed coal mills. The core structural differences lie solely in the meshing configuration of the grinding components. The overall manufacturing process adheres to the principles of precision first, geometric and positional control, dynamic-static matching, and uniform load distribution, ensuring that the mating clearance between the grinding components, the coaxiality of rotation, and the overall machine’s load-bearing stability are all optimized to meet the requirements of long-term, continuous, heavy-load operation.
