the difference between ball mill and vertical mill in cement grinding over the last three decades the vertical roller mill has become the preferred ball mill for grinding of raw materials. the grinding efficiency of the vertical roller mill combined with an ability to dry, grind and classify within a single unit gives the vertical roller mill a,the difference between ball mill and vertical mill in,the grinding process in ball mills and vertical roller mills differ fundamentally. in a ball mill the comminution takes place by impact and attrition. the comminution in the vertical roller mill takes place by exposing a bed of material to a pressure sufficiently high to cause fracture of the individual particles in the bed.
