Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. is proud to announce the successful trial run of a Φ 1.2×5m ball mill at our customer's site in Weishi County, Kaifeng, Henan Province, China. This milestone marks the official commissioning of a brand-new grinding system—engineered from the ground up for reliable, high-efficiency mineral processing.
Why This Customer Chose Henan Hongke Machinery
Our customer in Weishi is a well-established mineral processing operator. They needed a ball mill that could deliver consistent grinding performance for their specific material—but they were looking for more than just a machine. They wanted a partner they could trust.
After evaluating several suppliers, they chose Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery for several key reasons:
1. Purpose-Built Equipment, Not Off-the-Shelf
Many suppliers offer generic machines that are "close enough." We don't. Every ball mill we build is engineered to match the customer's material characteristics, feed size, and target throughput. For this Φ 1.2×5m project, our technical team worked closely with the customer to understand their ore properties before finalizing the design .
2. Proven Quality and Reliability
We're not new to this. Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery has been designing and manufacturing ball mills, rotary kilns, rotary dryers, and crushers since 2006 . Our equipment is built to last—with quality materials, precision machining, and rigorous testing before delivery.
3. Complete Grinding Solution
We don't just sell a mill. We delivered a complete grinding system, including the ball mill body, drive unit, support structure, and control system. Our team also provided installation guidance and commissioning support—so the customer didn't have to figure things out on their own.
4. Commitment to Long-Term Partnership
Our relationship doesn't end at delivery. We provide ongoing technical support, spare parts availability, and maintenance guidance. The customer knows they can count on us—not just today, but for years to come.
The Trial Run – Confirmed Performance
The trial run followed industry-standard procedures to verify the mill's performance under real operating conditions :
1. No-Load Test – The mill was run without grinding media for a continuous period to verify mechanical stability, bearing temperatures, and lubrication system performance. All parameters remained within specification.
2. Load Test (Phased) – Grinding media was added in stages, starting with 1/3 of the full charge, then increasing to 2/3. The mill operated smoothly with consistent power draw and stable bearing temperatures.
3. Full-Load Test – With the complete grinding media charge and material feed, the mill ran continuously for an extended period. The system delivered consistent product fineness and stable operation throughout.
Trial Run Results:
| Test Parameter | Result |
|---|---|
| Bearing temperature | Within normal range throughout operation |
| Gear mesh condition | Smooth engagement, no abnormal noise |
| Lubrication system | Stable oil pressure and flow |
| Product fineness | Consistent output meeting customer specifications |
| Motor current draw | Stable; no overload conditions |
What This Means for Our Customer
