As a trusted grinding media supplier, Chemproc provides a comprehensive range of grinding media solutions tailored to the needs of mining, mineral processing, and industrial sectors. Our grinding media—ranging from ceramic beads to forged steel balls—ensures efficient grinding, enhanced productivity, and reduced operational costs in various milling applications.
Types of Grinding Media Available
At Chemproc, we understand that different applications require different types of grinding media. To meet this demand, we offer a full spectrum of grinding media, each optimised for specific processes. Our range includes:
Forged Steel Grinding Balls
These are ideal for large-scale mining operations, known for their durability and wear resistance. Forged steel grinding balls provide superior strength and reduce breakage rates, making them perfect for high-impact environments such as ball mills in the mining sector.
High Chromium Cast Iron Balls
These balls offer high hardness and wear resistance, ensuring optimal grinding performance in applications involving abrasive materials. High chrome balls are commonly used in cement plants, power plants, and in the mining of copper and gold.
Ceramic Grinding Media
Ceramic grinding beads and balls are perfect for fine and ultra-fine grinding applications, especially in stirred mills. With their high density, they increase grinding efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and offer excellent wear resistance. Ceramic media is also widely used in industries that require clean and contamination-free grinding, such as the pigment and pharmaceutical sectors.
High Alumina Grinding Balls
Known for their extreme hardness, high alumina balls are particularly suited for applications requiring precision and durability, such as the grinding of fine minerals and chemicals. Their low wear rate ensures longer operational life, making them a cost-effective choice for various grinding processes.
Zirconia Grinding Media
Zirconia-based grinding media offers high fracture toughness, excellent wear resistance, and a smooth finish, making it ideal for applications involving high-energy milling. These beads ensure contamination-free grinding, crucial for industries like electronics and cosmetics.
