Ball mill is a cylindrical device that used to grind and blend raw material and it rotates around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium.When it controlled by speed, the load nearest the wall of the cylinders will break and it quickly followed by other particle in the top curves and forma sliding stream containing several layer of balls separated by material of varying thickness. Ball milling must be operated in a closed system, with oversize material continuously being recirculated back into be reduced due to internal cascading effect. In our project, we need to fabricate a low cost mini ball mill .To fabricate this ball mill, we first design a model using SolidWork and checked for interferences. Then, we start looking for suitable material to fabricate the jar and carry out machining in lab to make some support parts such as shaft and metal block. After all parts are done fabrication in desireddimension, testing is carried out to determine whether the raw material selected can be grinded in to powder form. Lastly, a metal bar is added inside the jar to lift up the stainless steel balls to fall from higher position so that the specimen can be crushed which is known as cascading effect Keywords: Ball mill; cascading effect; grind; powder.CHAPTER NO.
