80% Alumina Ball for Ball Mill High Alumina Ceramic Grinding Ball


Alumina grinding ceramic balls Description
Alumina ceramic balls use bauxite, roller powder, industrial alumina powder, high-temperature calcined alumina powder and other materials as raw materials, through batching, grinding, powdering (pulping, mud making), molding, drying, firing, etc. Possessed with high density, high hardness, low wear, good seismic stability and good corrosion resistance, the products are the most ideal medium for grinding glaze, blank and mineral powder processing, and are used as the grinding medium of ball mill in ceramics, cement, paint, refractory, inorganic mineral powder and other industries.


80% Alumina Balls are high-performance grinding media used in ball mills for grinding and milling applications. Made from 80% aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), these ceramic grinding balls offer a balance of hardness, wear resistance, and cost-effectiveness. They are widely used in industries such as ceramicsminerals processingpaints and coatingscement, and chemicals for fine grinding and dispersion of materials.



Key Features of 80% Alumina Balls

  1. High Hardness:

    • 80% alumina balls have a Mohs hardness of 8-9, making them suitable for grinding hard materials.

  2. Wear Resistance:

    • Excellent wear resistance ensures long service life and minimal contamination of the ground material.

  3. Chemical Stability:

    • Resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

  4. High Density:

    • Density of approximately 3.6-3.8 g/cm³ provides efficient grinding and impact force.

  5. Smooth Surface:

    • The smooth surface minimizes friction and wear during grinding.

  6. Cost-Effective:

    • Offers a balance between performance and cost, making it a popular choice for many industries.



Applications of 80% Alumina Balls

  1. Ceramics Industry:

    • Used for grinding raw materials like feldspar, quartz, and clay in ceramic production.

  2. Minerals Processing:

    • Applied in the grinding of ores and minerals to achieve fine particle sizes.

  3. Paints and Coatings:

    • Used in ball mills for grinding and dispersing pigments and fillers.

  4. Cement Industry:

    • Used for grinding clinker and other raw materials in cement production.

  5. Chemical Industry:

    • Ideal for grinding and mixing chemicals and catalysts.

  6. Pharmaceuticals:

    • Used for fine grinding and homogenization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).



Advantages of 80% Alumina Balls

  • High Grinding Efficiency:

    • Provides excellent grinding and dispersion due to its high density and hardness.

  • Long Service Life:

    • Resistant to wear, reducing the frequency of media replacement.

  • Minimal Contamination:

    • High chemical stability ensures minimal contamination of the ground material.

  • Versatility:

    • Suitable for a wide range of applications and materials.

  • Cost-Effective:

    • Offers a balance between performance and cost, making it a popular choice for many industries.



How 80% Alumina Balls Work

  1. Loading:

    • The alumina balls are loaded into a ball mill along with the material to be ground.

  2. Grinding:

    • The mill rotates, causing the balls to impact and grind the material.

  3. Dispersion:

    • The high-density balls efficiently disperse particles, achieving a uniform and fine grind.

  4. Separation:

    • The ground material is separated from the balls using screens or filters.



Manufacturing Process

  1. Raw Material Preparation:

    • High-purity alumina powder is mixed with binders and additives to form a slurry.

  2. Forming:

    • The slurry is formed into balls using pressing or extrusion techniques.

  3. Drying:

    • The formed balls are dried to remove moisture.

  4. Sintering:

    • The balls are sintered at high temperatures to achieve the desired density and hardness.

  5. Polishing:

    • The balls are polished to achieve a smooth surface and uniform size.

  6. Quality Control:

    • The final product is tested for hardness, density, and dimensional accuracy.
