The characteristics of the feed material have a significant impact on the performance of the grinding mill. The hardness, particle size, and moisture content of the feed need to be carefully analyzed. Harder materials require more energy to grind, and if the feed contains large particles, it may cause problems such as clogging in the mill.

The moisture content of the feed can also affect the grinding process. If the feed is too wet, it can lead to agglomeration of the particles, reducing the grinding efficiency. Therefore, it is important to pre - process the feed to ensure that it has the appropriate characteristics for the grinding mill. This may include crushing the feed to a suitable particle size, drying it if it is too wet, or blending it with other materials to adjust its hardness.​
 
The choice of grinding media is crucial for the performance of the grinding mill. The type, size, and quantity of the grinding media need to be optimized. Different types of grinding media, such as steel balls, ceramic balls, and rubber - coated balls, have different properties and are suitable for different applications.
