Boosting Processing Efficiency with High-Performance Grinding Media from Iraeta

In mining, we know that what happens inside the mill can make or break your throughput targets. At Gradient Services, we’re proud to partner with Iraeta, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance grinding media, to supply proven, high-quality solutions to the Australian market.

Whether you're running ball mills in a gold circuit or SAG mills in an iron ore operation, the right grinding media can significantly impact wear rates, energy use, and downtime. That’s why we've aligned with a supplier who knows what it takes to keep things moving.

Why Choose Iraeta Grinding Media?

High-Performance Grinding Media isn’t just a buzzword—it’s what Iraeta delivers. With an annual capacity of 300,000 tonnes, they’ve built a global reputation for consistent quality and technical excellence. Their hot-rolled steel balls are now widely preferred over traditional cast iron alternatives, especially in high-tonnage and high-impact mining environments.

From what we’ve seen in the field, the switch to Iraeta media results in longer life, better performance in tough conditions, and reduced risk of unexpected downtime. That’s value you can measure.
