The most common secondary mill is a ball mill in which relatively fine feed particles (0.1–10.0 mm top size) are ground in a charge consisting predominantly of steel balls. Mills can be operated in open or closed modes (which refers to whether the product is size separated in some way with the oversize fed back into the mill).
