A ball mill (also known as a pebble mill) is a type of size reduction equipment used to grind materials into fine powders. It is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing for grinding active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and other raw materials. The ball mill operates on the principle of impact and attrition, where the grinding […]
