Abstract❖
The main goal of the experiment is to grinder large material and reduce
it's size by using ball mill that take 10 minutes and a speed of 2 rpm, and
shake 0.75 kg of salt the by using sieving machine with a time of 5
minutes.

Antroduction❖
As engineer in the industry will have deal with a lot of solid materials
with different sizes that are large, so it's complicated and hard process it
without reduction and grind the large solid matiral to a smaller size,
therefore in this experiment we have two equipment very important Ball
Mill , Sieving machine
Ball mill use to reduce the size and breaks the material into fine powder
and the ball mill depend on moving speed and quantity of material so the
particles being crushed together.
Sieving machine or mesh it's method of analysis have standaredsized to
let the material fall through smaller meshs until the pan , now we are
studying the reduction process and find affect the size distribution then
estimate the amount of energy needed for grinding and reduction process.

Objectives❖
To grind the given material to a smaller size using a ball mill
To obtain the size distribution of the initial and the final mixture by
sieving
To determine the size of a particle
To estimate the energy required for the grinding operation.
Theory❖
Bond's law or power required : total work input of crushed material is
inversely proportional to the square root of the diameter of the product
particles.

Work index ( Wi ) : the gross energy required to reduce a large feed to a

point 80% of the product passes the 100 mm screen.

Procedure❖
Take 0.75 kg of salt and charge it to the series of sieves to get pre-
grinding size distribution
Continue sieving for 5 minutes
Weigh the mass of the salt retained on each sieve
Load the salt to the ball mill along with metal balls
Run the ball mill for 10 minutes at the speed 2 rpm
After 10 minutes take out the salt from the ball mill
Fill the powder to new set of sieves of small sizes. Keep the sieves on the
vibrator for 5 minutes
Weigh the mass of the salt powder retained on each sieve
Diagrams❖
Ball mill :
The ball mill is kind of grinder used for intermediate or fine grinding.
Ball mill is usually a metal cylinder which rotates about its horizontal
axis
The coarse material charged along with the metal balls breaks to fine
powder by impact of metal balls, the ball mill depend on moving speed
and quantity of material so the particles being crushed together and the
balls dropping from close to the top of the shell because size reduction.

Sieving machine :
A sieving machine is equipment to shaken a particles and separate it to
different sizes, One of the most common method of particle-sized
analysis used is sieve analysis. Standardized sieves are available to cover
a wide range of sizes. These sieves are generally round and designed to
sit in a stack so that material fall through smaller and smaller mashes
until it reaches a mesh, which is too fine for it to pass through. The stack
of sieves is mechanically shaken or tapped to promote the passage of the
solids. The finest material is caught in a pan at bottom of the stack
