Hi All,

 

Would the following be any good for a ball mill do you think?

I looked at a similar container long ago and I would say No. The walls are usually quite thin and liable to split, leading to a powder leak and potential nasty hazard.

This is more suitable. I have one of these.Very thick walled and available in different sizes. I bought mine second hand. These are in packs of 10 so you may find them individually elsewhere or go in with others who wish to build a mill. http://www.fletchere...spx?product=388

Ill warn you though that with non tacky roller surfaces the ridges on the jar can lead to slippage

The cheap garden sprayer bottles - neck is a bit inconvenient due to small size but I use one regularly. Really tough, good size and 99p usually in range etc. take out the pump and block the resulting hole in the top. O- ring seal means no loss of powder.

Cheers for the replies folks!

 

Phil, you say you don't personally like them, so what would you recommend?

Well depending on the size of jar you want Barnsley-Marks suggestion is a really good one, those containers are bloody tough.

 

If you want a small jar I also have the 1250ml HD jars which are good for smaller mills and I have (to order) HDPE tube with plastic milled end caps which are pretty much indestructable!

I use the 2500 ml HDPE jar from Cooperman.

 

It is loaded with about 130 20mm lead balls & it takes some abuse.

 

I bought a spare, but have not needed to use it yet as it is so tough !

The only time them HDPE drums will break is if the contents ignites! and I would hazard a guess you would only loose an end cap ;-)

I thought you liked loud bangs phil? or is it the potential for very large, fast flying circular projectiles!! best leave this one on paper unless you have access to a lage unused quarry?
