ABSTRACT: Planetary ball mill is a powerful tool, which has been used for milling variousmaterials for size reduction. The discrete element method (DEM) was used to simulate the dynamics of particle processes in a planetary ball mill. This work includes the calibration of DEM parameters to simulate a planetary ball mill using EDEM Altair 2021.2 software, which provides both fasterworkflows and results. The iterative input parameters changed to a close correlation between the simulation and experimental results are attained. The results showed that the standard tests could be used to generate various experimental reference values for the calibration. The numerical modeling results agree with theexperimental, indicating that the calibrated parameters are accurate.
