Why Recycle Grinding Media? Cut Costs and Boost Milling Efficiency
Over time, grinding media wear leads to scrap and deformed balls. This unbalances the load, increases mill temperature, and lowers grinding performance.
How this impacts your operation:
- Up to 25% of load becomes inactive mass
- Irregular granulometry and grate blockages
- Up to 6% increase in energy consumption
- More downtime, more losses, less output
Practical example: A 100 t/h cement mill with 250 t of grinding media may carry 62.5 t of scrap. That’s energy lost and poor efficiency hitting your bottom line.
The solution: MIDES removes up to 98% of scrap with safe, on-site, automated recycling. Plus: we created a calculator so you can simulate how much your plant gains with the ideal load.
