Ball mill is widely used in mineral processing, building materials, metallurgy, chemical and other industries. According to different working methods, there are dry ball mill and wet ball mill. What’s  the differences of dry ball mill machine and wet ball mill machine?

1. Different grinding materials: Dry grinding ball mill is suitable for the grinding of dry ores.

Wet grinding ball mill is suitable for grinding of wet materials containing a certain amount of moisture.

2, the structure is different: The discharge port of dry ball mill is straight, and the installation of the air intake device is conducive to the discharge of dust during production.

The discharge port of the wet ball mill is a trumpet-shaped, built-in screw device, which is conducive to the discharge of materials.

3. Wet ball mill has lower energy consumption: For continuous dry ball mills, due to the influence of ore humidity, a thin layer of material is formed on the surface of the ore and the lining. Therefore, the energy consumption per ton of ore is more than that of the wet ball mill machine 25% to 30%.

4. Wet ball mill investment is lower: the wind system needs to be equipped in the production of dry ball mill

The wet ball mill has a simple process, and in comparison, the production cost of the wet ball mill is lower.

The differences between the dry ball mill and the wet ball mill are described above. In the actual selection, it is still necessary to select according to the material and actual working conditions.
