The overall reaction, which is conducted at 450&nbsp;°C is:
:{{chem2|Pb + O2 -> 2 PbO}}
Using a [[Ball mill]], lead balls are oxidized in a cooled rotating drum. The oxidation is achieved by collisions of the balls. Just like in Barton pot method, the supply of air and separators may also be used.<ref name=":0" />{{r|:1|p=245}}
