Grinding ball applications

The blanks and glazes used in the construction and sanitary ceramics industry, whose main products are wall and floor tiles, are ground with ball mills. Most companies still use natural ball stones as grinding media. Due to their poor wear resistance, natural ball stones inevitably contaminate the glaze during the grinding process. At the same time, due to the low density of natural ball stones, the grinding efficiency is low. Finding and using cheap and high-quality grinding media is one of the pursuits of ceramic companies. Alumina ceramic balls have entered the field of ceramic production since the 1950s. In 1998, China's total output of architectural ceramics was 1.594*10m, and its total output of sanitary ceramics was 51.45 million pieces, accounting for 1/3 and 1/5 of the world's output respectively. It is considered the largest producer of architectural and sanitary ceramics in the world today, and my country can It hopes to maintain its position as the world's largest producer of architectural and sanitary ceramics. According to the ideal product structure, it is estimated that the filling capacity of alumina ceramic balls required nationwide is about 40,000t at 20% for high-end products, and the comprehensive demand for high-grade porcelain balls should be around 50,000t/a. As natural ball stones are on the verge of exhaustion, ideal ball stones have become difficult to buy. Low-quality and high-priced ball stones seriously affect the quality of grinding materials and the grade of products, forcing companies to choose alumina ceramic balls with excellent characteristics. It is the consensus of people in the ceramic industry to use alumina ceramic balls as grinding media to improve the quality of products. Therefore, the market demand for alumina ceramic balls in the ceramic industry is huge.
