Casting Grinding Balls: Low-chromium casting balls, Medium-chromium casting balls, High-chromium casting balls Cr12, Φ25mm - Φ150mm.
Forged Grinding Balls: Alloy steel balls (40Mn2, 60Mn, 65Mn) Φ75mm - Φ140mm.
Since November 1997, our company has been engaged in large-scale production of wear-resistant cast balls for ball mills. We currently have four 2-ton medium-frequency induction melting furnaces, two ten-thousand-ton iron mold coated sand production lines, with a daily production capacity of over 90 tons of cast balls. We also have two sets of grinding ball separation and sorting equipment, three high-chromium ball heat treatment lines, with a total production capacity of 30,000 tons. By the end of 2022, our company has produced over 600,000 tons of wear-resistant cast balls for ball mills, with cumulative sales revenue exceeding 3 billion RMB, making it our core product.
Our subsidiary forging and casting company produces 10,000 tons of forged balls per year, including models ranging from Φ75mm to Φ140mm. Our customers include Jiangxi Copper Corporation's Dexing Copper Mine, Chengmenshan Mine, Yinshan Mine, as well as Tibet Huatailong, Yunnan Tin Industry, Yunnan Hualian Zinc Indium, Hunan Huangjindong, and others.
We employ advanced casting technology to ensure stable quality and uniform performance. Precise control over composition and heat treatment processes ensures the required hardness, toughness, and impact strength of the balls. This consistency in quality translates into reliable and predictable performance, enabling mining companies to achieve consistent grinding results and maintain product standards.
After cooling, our wear-resistant balls are cleaned, separated, and conveyed using fully automated ball selection and sorting machines. Each process works independently, and with the help of PLC programs, different work data programs are set according to the size of the balls. After the formation of wear-resistant balls, operators throw the complete molded balls, sprues, and risers into the feeding port, and then discharge the balls, runners, and sand from different tunnels. All equipment is equipped with soundproof panels and dust collectors. Compared to traditional factories, the working environment has been greatly improved.
For high-chromium balls with chromium content greater than 10%, they need to be quenched and tempered. For low-chromium large balls with chromium content less than 10%, they need to undergo tempering treatment. The specific process depends on the customer's heat treatment process. In addition, there are three quenching methods: water quenching, oil quenching, and air quenching. The latter two methods are preferable for grinding balls. Furthermore, for ultra-high-chromium balls, air quenching is more suitable than oil quenching.
Both our cast steel balls and steel forgings are produced on fully automated production lines, and the tempering process is completed by fully automated quenching and tempering integrated production lines. The characteristics of our products include high hardness, low wear rate, smooth appearance, and no porosity.
Although chromium cast balls have many advantages, it is important to consider certain challenges as well. Over time, these balls may degrade due to wear, which can affect their performance. The interaction between balls can also impact grinding efficiency. Therefore, proper ball selection and maintenance are crucial to ensure optimal performance. Addressing environmental issues related to ball consumption and disposal is also important.
We continue to invest in technological and process innovations to further enhance the performance, durability, and sustainability of our balls. Innovations in ball design and manufacturing processes can improve wear resistance, extend service life, and reduce environmental impact. These developments will contribute to improving efficiency and productivity in the mining industry.
Our products' outstanding hardness, wear resistance, and impact strength make them an ideal choice for customers in ore grinding and cement production processes. By using our chromium cast balls, customers can achieve higher grinding efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and improve product quality.
