1. Introduction. Over the years, ball mill circuits closed with cyclones have become an industry standard, and since the early days, it has been recognised that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit grinding (i.e. its .
Ball Mill Operation. Ball mills ride on steel tires or supported on both ends by trunnions. Girth gears bolted to the shell drive the mill through a pinion shaft from a prime mover drive. The prime movers are usually synchronized motors. During rotation, a portion of the charge is lifted along the inside perimeter.
Ball Mill Grinding Circuit The ball mill is in closed circuit with a sump and three cyclone classifiers. The ore and trim water are added to the ball mill and the outflow from the ball mill goes to a sump where additional water is added. The slurry from the ball mill is pumped out of a sump into two cyclone separators. The underflow from the ...
Both ball mills and HPGRs are typically used in closed circuit with classifiers. There is a general consensus within the industry that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit ball mills.
F 80 is the mill circuit feed size in micrometers. Rod mill. A rotating drum causes friction and attrition between steel rods and ore particles. [citation needed] But note that the term 'rod mill' is also used as a synonym for a slitting mill, which makes rods of iron or other metal. Rod mills are less common than ball mills for grinding minerals.
Circulating load calculation in grinding circuits SciELO. determine mass balance of a ball mill grinding circuit The circuit shown in figure 4 is used as secondary ball mill in AngloAmerican Phosphate, Catalão/GO, Brazil and it is a grinding circuit where a low-field magnetic separator receives part of the hydrocyclone underflow.
Mar 25, 2019· A possible circuit change would send the crusher discharge to the ball mill circuit, better balancing the work between the SAG and ball mill. When ball mill-limited and with low ore variability, a similar circuit modification redirecting flows can be done. It may be possible to redirect some of the ball mill hyrdocyclone coarse fraction back to ...
The mill used for this comparison is a 4.4-meter diameter by 13.6 meter long ball mill with a 5000 HP drive motor. It is designed for approximately 90 s.ton per hour. This type two-compartment mill is a state- of-the-art shell supported cement finish mill. The torque and time requirements of the mill with the ball
In a ball mill circuit, the "output" can be defined as the production rate of fines of the circuit. As for any output, ball mill circuit output is a function of both its inputs and efficiencies. There are two "inputs" to a ball mill circuit: the ore fed to the circuit and the power delivered by the grinding mill.

Metallurgical ContentOpen Circuit GrindingClosed Circuit GrindingGrinding Circuit Process Control VariablesGrinding Operating Costs The simplest grinding circuit consists of a ball or rod mill in closed circuit with a classifier; the flow sheet is shown in Fig. 25 and the actual layout in Fig. 9. This single-stage circuit is chiefly employed for coarse grinding when a product finer than 65 ...
The ball mill is a key piece of equipment for grinding crushed materials, and it is widely used in production lines for powders such as cement, silicates, refractory material, fertilizer, glass ceramics, etc. as well as for ore dressing of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The ball mill can grind various ores and other materials either wet or dry.
Grinding of cement clinker has been traditionally performed by the ball mills which can either be open circuit or closed circuit with an air classifier. Selection of right mill for the specified duty is the most critical for circuit design, since it has the highest capital and operating costs.
milling circuit consists of a rod mill followed by a ball mill in series. Crusher product (-9 mm) is fed to the rod mill, and the water is fed in ratio to the ore feed mass. The rod mill discharge is pumped, without any further water addition, to the first ball mill. The ball mill discharges to a sump where water is
In this paper, COMSIM, a new simulator which runs under Excel spreadsheet will be introduced which uses a Population Balance Model (PBM) to simulate ball mills. Plitt and Nageswararao models have been used to describe the performance of hydrocyclones, which by linking to the ball mill model allow for closed-circuit simulations.
Controlling the performance of a closed circuit ball mill is a challenging problem due to its complex dynamic characteristics and heavy interactions among the control loops. Traditionally, the grinding circuits are controlled by multi-loop PID controllers which are heavily detuned to avoid multivariable interactions.
