Maintenance and Troubleshooting of Non - Metallic Ore Grinding Mills​
 
Proper maintenance and effective troubleshooting are essential for ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of non - metallic ore grinding mills.​
 
Regular maintenance of the grinding mill starts with inspection of the key components. The grinding media, such as steel balls in a ball mill, should be regularly checked for wear and tear. Worn - out balls can reduce the grinding efficiency and may even cause damage to the grinding chamber. If significant wear is detected, the balls should be replaced in a timely manner.

The grinding roller and ring in a Raymond mill also need to be inspected regularly. The surface of the roller and ring may become uneven due to continuous grinding, which can affect the quality of the powder output. In such cases, the roller and ring may need to be repaired or replaced.​
 
The lubrication system of the grinding mill is another critical aspect of maintenance. Adequate lubrication is necessary to reduce friction between moving parts, such as the bearings and the shafts. Different parts of the mill may require different types of lubricants, and it is important to use the correct lubricant as specified by the manufacturer.

The lubrication system should be checked regularly for leaks, and the lubricant levels should be maintained. Dirty or contaminated lubricants can also cause problems, so it is advisable to change the lubricant at the recommended intervals.​
