What is the difference between a ball mill, an ultrafine mill, and a vertical mill?

Ball mill, ultra-fine mill and ultra-fine vertical mill are all used to process stone powder, so what are the differences between them? Which machine should you choose when it comes time to invest in a milling project?

1. The output particle shape difference

output particle shape of ball mill,ultrafine mill and vertical millFrom the above photos, we can find the ball mill has the more uniform particles and shape, then the ultrafine vertical roller mill, the last is ultrafine grinding mill.

So if your final market has the special request for the particle shape, please know the difference.

2. The power consumption for the same powder size

Please find the below sheet to show the power consumption for different mill based on the same size,

ball mill, vertical mill and ultrafine mill power consumptionUnder collecting many factory feedback, the ball mill power consumption is 2.5-3 times than the roller mills.
