In industrial production, grinding balls are important grinding media

and are widely used in mining, metallurgy, chemical industry and other

fields. With long-term use, grinding balls will gradually wear and lose

their grinding effect. How to deal with these used grinding balls can

not only reduce resource waste but also reduce production costs,

and has become an important issue of concern

to enterprises. How to deal with used grinding balls will also become

an important topic for every enterprise. Let's discuss it together today.


The first step in dealing with used grinding balls is to collect and classify

them. The loss of grinding balls is usually gradual. Some balls may only

show slight wear, while others may be severely broken or plastically

deformed. In order to maximize the recycling value, grinding balls should

be divided into different categories according to the degree of loss. For

balls with less wear, they can be directly used for secondary grinding or 

reprocessing. For broken or severely worn grinding balls, special treatment

is required.


The collected grinding balls usually have some ore, dust or grease attached 

to the surface,and these impurities may affect the subsequent reuse effect.

Therefore, cleaning is an essential step. Common cleaning methods include

high-pressure water washing, ultrasonic cleaning or  chemical solvent cleaning. 

The purpose of cleaning is to remove impurities attached to the surface of the

grinding ball, restore it to a relatively clean state, and prepare for subsequent

reprocessing.


Used grinding balls are mostly made of alloy materials or cast iron, and have a 

high metal recovery value. After cleaning, the grinding balls with less wear can 

be recast, reprocessed or welded to extend their service life. The recasting 

processinvolves melting the grinding balls and adding suitable alloy materials 

to recast them into new grinding balls. For grinding balls with severe wear, they

can be resynthesized to adjust their alloy composition and hardness to adapt

them to the new use environment.


Grinding balls that have been reprocessed or recast need to undergo strict quality

inspections to ensure that their hardness, impact resistance, wear resistance, etc.

meet the requirements of industrial use. Inspection items include hardness testing,

impact testing, size testing, etc. If the test is qualified, these grinding balls can be

put into use again, otherwise they should be eliminated or repaired for a second 

time.


Reasonable handling of used grinding media balls not only helps to reduce resource waste,

but also effectively reduces production costs. By recycling and reusing metal materials,

not only can the mining of new ores and the energy consumption of metal smelting be

reduced, but also the emission of waste can be reduced, which meets the current needs

of environmental protection. When recycling grinding balls, enterprises can also further

reduce processing costs by optimizing the recycling process and improving the technical

level.


Reasonable treatment of used grinding balls not only helps the recycling of resources, but

also reduces environmental pollution, which meets the goal of sustainable development.
