Grinding Medium - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Schematic drawing of an attrition ball mill. The attrition mill agitator rotates at speeds ranging from 60 rpm for production units to 300 rpm for laboratory units and uses media that range from 3 to 6 mm while ball mills use large grinding media, usually 12 mm or larger, and run at low rotational speeds of 10–50 rpm.
