Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. just finished a successful trial run of a Φ 1.2×5m ball mill for a customer in Weishi, Kaifeng. The mill is now ready to go. Here's what happened.
Why They Came to Us
This customer runs a mineral processing operation. They needed a ball mill that could handle their material consistently—but they'd been burned before by suppliers who promised quality and delivered problems.
They wanted a partner, not just a salesperson. Someone who would listen, deliver solid equipment, and stick around after the sale.
They chose us because:
We built for their material, not a generic spec
We have a track record – over 18 years in the business
We gave them a full package – mill, drive, controls, and on-site support
We don't disappear after delivery – we stay in touch
The Mill They Got
A Φ 1.2×5m ball mill, purpose-built for their ore type and capacity needs. Not a shelf model. Not a compromise.
| Key Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 1.2 m |
| Length | 5 m |
| Drive | Heavy-duty gear with backup |
| Control | Simple, reliable, easy to operate |
We also supplied the whole setup: support structure, control panel, installation guidance, and commissioning. No guesswork for them.
The Trial Run – What We Checked
We didn't just turn it on and walk away. We ran it through three stages to make sure everything was right:
1. No-load test – ran empty to check bearings, gears, and lubrication. All smooth.
2. Step load test – added grinding media in stages (1/3, then 2/3). Power draw stayed stable. No overheating.
3. Full load test – ran with full media charge and material feed. Consistent fineness. Stable operation throughout.
The Results – Straight Talk
| What We Tested | How It Performed |
|---|---|
| Bearing temps | Stayed normal throughout |
| Gears | Smooth, no strange noises |
| Lubrication | Steady flow and pressure |
| Output fineness | Consistent, met their spec |
| Motor draw | Stable, no spikes |
What This Means for the Customer
This isn't just a machine that passed a test. It means:
They can count on consistent product quality – day after day
Lower power consumption – the mill is sized and built for efficiency
Less downtime – solid build, fewer surprises
Someone to call when they need help – that's us
