SUMMARY
To increase the temperature of a ball mill in a laboratory setting from 38 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, the installation of a thermostat-controlled heater is recommended. Additionally, attaching heating plates to the ends of the ball mill can effectively raise the temperature using a simple power supply. These methods will enable the effective study of grinding aids such as CBA and HEA2, which require a minimum temperature of 60 degrees Celsius to function optimally.
