Hi everybody !

 

My las ball mill don't work yet... it's a 3lb rock tumbler.

So i have bought a ball mill with 2x jar of 3lb and ceramic balls.

 

My problem is that i'm not sure if the size choosed is correct, it's ceramic balls of 20mm i found this is may be too big because they made less strike than a smaller media.

I used my ball mill a big part of my time for BP and bp don't need a big balls because the chemicals was not hard to grind...

 

So do you think it's better to buy 12mm balls ??

Thanks :)

Yes 12mm will be better. 20mm is way too big for that size of jar.

Well, I also think 12mm will be better for ceramic balls. So it's better to buy 12mm balls. Maybe you can get some ideas from www.samaterials.com
