The grinding chamber is the heart of the grinding mill. In a ball mill, the grinding chamber is the rotating cylinder where the grinding media (steel balls) and the ore are mixed. The rotation of the cylinder causes the balls to cascade and impact the ore, breaking it down into smaller particles. In a Raymond mill, the grinding chamber contains the grinding roller and the grinding ring.

The roller rotates on the ring, and the material is ground between them. The design of the grinding chamber, including its size, shape, and the arrangement of the grinding components, has a significant impact on the grinding efficiency and the quality of the final product.​

 
The grinding media, such as steel balls in a ball mill, play a vital role in the grinding process. The size and quantity of the grinding media need to be carefully selected based on the properties of the ore being processed. Larger balls are suitable for crushing larger particles,

while smaller balls are more effective for fine grinding. The ratio of the grinding media to the ore also affects the grinding performance. If there are too few balls, the grinding efficiency will be low, and if there are too many balls, they may interfere with each other's movement and also reduce the grinding efficiency.​
