This paper presents the results of the characterization of alumina ball size distribution in the mill of a crushing and grinding plant. The mill was unloaded and the balls were sieved. Then, the results were adjusted to three kinds of models; two of them are the traditional models of Rosin-Rammler and Gates-Gaudin-Schumann. The third model applied was the Swebrec distribution function, which has been successfully used on fragmented rock size distribution. The best adjustment for the ball size distribution was obtained by the Swebrec function, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9984.

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de la caracterización de la distribución del tamaño de bolas de alúmina en el molino de una planta de molienda y trituración. Se descargó el molino y se tamizaron las bolas. Luego, los resultados se ajustaron a tres tipos de modelos; dos de ellos son los modelos tradicionales de Rosin-Rammler y Gates-Gaudin-Schumann. El tercer modelo aplicado fue la función de distribución de Swebrec, que se ha utilizado con éxito en la distribución del tamaño de rocas fragmentadas. El mejor ajuste para la distribución del tamaño de bolas se obtuvo mediante la función de Swebrec, con un coeficiente de correlación de 0,9984.
