The influence of the operating frequency, the milling ball and grinding stock filling degree, the material of the milling balls and beakers, the milling ball diameter and the size of the milling beakers on the temperature increase inside the milling beakers in a mixer ball mill was investigated. These parameters influence the temperature progression and the equilibrium temperature of the system. The grinding stock filling degree with regard to the void volume in the milling ball package showed huge influence on the heating rate and the equilibrium temperature. In this context, the behavior of the temperature progression changes if the complete void volume is filled with the grinding stock.
