Polished steel grinding media balls

DIRECT ANSWER

What is grinding media?

Grinding media are the cast steel balls or rods loaded into a mill to do the actual grinding. Unlike a liner or a plate, media is consumed continuously in service rather than replaced as a single part, so it is supplied by weight and topped up on a running basis. Diameter and hardness are matched to the ore and the mill’s grinding duty.

Cast to Your Grinding Duty

Ball and rod diameter, hardness and alloy are matched to your ore and your mill’s duty rather than sold off a fixed size list: tell us the mill type, feed size and current consumption rate and we will confirm the right specification and a running supply arrangement.

[TBC: confirm the standard diameter range and hardness bands SKS Steel casts before publishing specific figures.]
