WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Some ball mills are equipped with grate discharge systems. They require softer alloys, as it is difficult to ensure that the charge level remains high, and the liners can be exposed to impact, causing cracking. Rubber or composite liners are also commonly used in ball mills and perform well even in the biggest ball mills, thanks to their shock
