 — The ball-mill may lack sufficient impact energy to effect breakage of these particles, which are referred to as 'scats'. They may find their way into a ball-mill circuit as a result of wear of the trommel or due to a deliberate change of the aperture size, to increase SAG mill throughput. E.g.

 — The law of ball size distribution in the horizontal planetary ball mill is studied by the discrete element method. The results show that the maximum impact energy could be acquired when filling rate is 24%, moreover the biggest mean contact force and the highest energy utilization ratio of balls could be acquired when the speed ratio is 1.5.

 — This suggests that there is a trend of increasing particle elongation with increased grinding time in the ball mill, for the −75/+53 μm size fraction. This is difficult to explain, as coarse elongated or flaky particles would be expected to be weaker than more compact rounded particles, and thus more likely to break with increased grinding time.

Ball mills are often operated at higher speeds than rod mills, so that the larger balls cataract and impact on the ore particles. The work input to a mill increases in proportion to the speed, and ball mills are run at as high a speed as is possible without centrifuging. Normally this is 70–80% of the critical speed.
