Ball Mill Loading Dry Milling Paul O. Abbe
50% media charge Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (nonspherical, irregularly shaped and mixedsize media will increase or decrease the free space) 50% x 26% = 13% free space Add to this another 10%15% above the ball charge for total of 23% to 25% product loading. So as a rule of thumb we use 25% solid loading.
