Powerful black powder can be made with mill runs of between 2 and 4 hours. Use long drop cords. Unplug the cords at the electrical source, not at the ball mill, when you want to stop the mill. Run your mill remotely, outdoors, at least 150 feet away from people and inhabited buildings.
Here's a shot of some stainless steel media and ceramic media. The stainless steel must be sparkresistant, nonmagnetic steel in the 300series. Alloys 304 and 316 are the most common stainless steels of this type. Highdensity alumina ceramic media is the type I've heard of most often being used in ball mills.
A ball mill, a type of grinder, is a cylindrical device used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. Ball mills rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium. Different materials are used as media, including ceramic balls, flint pebbles ...
Ball milling black powder is the fastest, cheapest, easiest way to make it. With practically the entire amateur pyro community milling complete black powder, there's bound to be the occasional accident. For those not willing to accept the unlikely (but very real) risks of explosion or fire while milling or when separating media, single ...
I woke up, not hearing the explosion, standing on my feet. I was 18 miles away. Safety makes a lot of sense. A lb of black powder burning in open air with no confinement makes quite an explosion. In a ball mill it would be significantly stronger due to the confinement and the ball media,
Wall Street Journal Article Details the 2021 GOEX explosion and rebuild. Blackpowder enthusiasts are getting a first look at the Minden GOEX plant in some time this week as the Wall Street Journal has published an article detailing the uses of blackpowder by the American military and hobbyists around the country. While the article is locked ...
Posted 31 July 2015 07:37 PM. Glass marbles was the cause of one explosion that I know of.. You should always baracade the mill with heavy sand bags. If it were to blow you want the stuff to go up not sideways.. But yeah pretty darn safe using proper media and rubber jar.
Even in a ball mill with lead grinding elements, I would not grind the mixed ingredients. You have a large amount of powder, in a confined space, in a glass container (hmmm, shrapnel!). It's a disaster waiting to happen. Why take the risk, when it's just as simple to grind and ballmill the ingredients separately before mixing?

Hodgdon Powder Inc. has announced that, effective immediately, it will cease all manufacturing at their Camp Minden, Louisiana plant. For those of you few decent, God fearing Americans left among us, you know that plant as the facility currently manufacturing the GOEX and Olde Eynsford brands of black powder. From the Hodgdon Press release ...

Gunpowder, also commonly known as black powder to distinguish it from modern smokeless powder, is the earliest known chemical explosive. It consists of a mixture of sulfur, carbon (in the form of charcoal ), and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). The sulfur and carbon act as fuels while the saltpeter is an oxidizer.
The DuPont conglomerate sold its last remaining black powder mill in Pennsylvania in 1971. After an explosion killed two employees, its new owners moved it to Minden in 1997, in part because ...
Making black powder The practice of making black powder (often abbreviated 'BP')is often oversimplified in textbooks. Merely mixing the components, potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur, does not result in real black powder. The mixture this obtained is called 'green powder' or 'polverone'. It bur
If you want to use argon gas in milling aluminum powder you must add oxygen as 810% to the stream of argon or even nitrogen gas to control the oxidation and prevent the explosion of the mill.
In my own experiments, I've found that I had to press the powder into "pucks" and crush and screen to get near the performance level as Goex. The economics of the home made black powder is very attractive if you don't count labor or equipment investment. The bought potassium nitrate and sulfur add up to about 3/lb.
Explosive Manufacturing, Ingredients, Gunpowder: Manufacture of black powder was accomplished originally by hand methods. Ingredients were ground together with a mortar and pestle. The next step was to use crushing devices of wood (wooden stamps), also operated by hand, in wooden or stone bowls. The stamping process was gradually mechanized and, about 1435, the first powder mill driven by ...
This kit contains enough chemicals to make 10 lbs. of black powder. This saves you about 20% vs. buying the chemicals individually. Important: Buy this kit if you are using a ball mill to make your black powder. For this method, you will need a ball mill, lead grinding balls, and screens for granulating the powder.

Remote and Level Location for Ball Mill Barricading the Ball Mill I've mentioned that a mill explosion is always a possibility when complete black powder compositions are being ball milled. So, try and place your mill behind a natural barricade like a mound of earth, a rock, or a big tree.
Google the names of any black powder maker, historical or modern along with "explosion", "deaths", etc. You will find plenty. After Du Pont sold the last powder mill in the USA to GOEX, there were a series of problems. A lot of you know about the GOEX production moving out of PA, then moving again The meaty part starts at page 10.
Page 5 of 5 Causes of ball mill accidents? posted in Safety: I was taking apart some fiberglass tent poles to make paper tube rolling mandrels, and rammers for small rockets and saw that the shock cord that holds the sections together looked a lot like that ESD elastic cord. I thought Shock Cord?! and wondered if that stuff was conductive. I dont think so. But while searching for ...
Step 1: Parts and Tools. Below are the parts and tools that I used to make this ball mill. However, keep in mind that these are more guidelines than anything, and I encourage you to experiment with different sizes, parts, and designs. Parts: 1 length of PVC pipe (I used 6" of 2" diameter pipe) 1 PVC flat end cap. 1 PVC male screw adapter.
All he had to buy for this project were the 5/8″ steel balls and the casters. The mill can also be used as a rock tumbler, though the bottle isn't quite water tight asis. He does not ...
