TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS TO OPTIMISE GRINDING ACTION AND MINIMISE BALL/LINER IMPACTS. Optimising the charge motion to ensure grinding media is hitting the toe of the charge will result in the maximising of ore breakage rates and therefore mill throughput. Trajectory analysis also ensures grinding media is not being over thrown onto mill liners where ...

to use the magnet and the pebble crusher. The SAG mill (7.925 m . diam. x 3.734 m . long / 3,650 KW ) operates together with a ball mill 5.486 m diam. x 8.839 m long / 4,474 KW ) to reduce the ore to about 80% passing 60 µm to 85 µm, depending on the ore type and its hardness. The ball mill operates in closed circuit with cyclones. About

Ball-limited circuits (where the T 80 hits the lower limit) will result in the charge level in the SAG mill dropping until its power draw matches the throughput limit dictated by the ball mill. It is important to realize that once the SAG mill charge level drops to be equal to the ball charge, the model will be operating "out of range" and the ...

The ball mills are operated at a ball charge volume of 30–32% and 78.5% critical speed. The SAG mill trommel undersize is combined with the ball mills' discharge and pumped to two parallel packs (clusters) of twelve 660 mm diameter cyclones. The cyclone underflow from each line reports to a ball mill, while the cyclone overflow is directed ...

To achieve best performance of downstream processes with the finer ROM, a number of changes and adjustments were made to the crusher, SAG and ball mill circuits. The resulting mill throughput averaged 4,100 mt/h for the three trial blasts and plant throughput above 4,500 mt/h was achieved for several hours during these trials.

In order to maximize ball mill throughput and optimize energy utilization, it is important to get these estimates right. ... The geochemical data obtained …

The data showed that pre-grinding the slip for 5,5 and 6 h in the ball mill and then further grinding the slip in the MaxxMill to the sieve residues of 6,4 % and 5,5 % over 45 µm result-ed in a total energy consumption of 16,9 kWh/t and 17,9 kWh/t, respec-tively, as compared with 27,8 kWh/t when the ball mill alone was used to

With the addition of the fourth ball mill, the ball milling line will comprise four mills operating in parallel. Two identical 24 ft x 30 ft mills, and two identical 22 ft x 38 ft mills. This work will allow for increased throughput and a grind size P80 of 165 µm.

In the final step, the cement mill grinds the clinkers using horizontal ball mills. The ball mill has two rotating chambers with ceramic balls that grind the clinkers.

EF5BM=[ P80+10.3 1.145×P80] ( 3 ) The EF4 formula requires both the rod mill and ball mill work index (rod mill Wi is used to calculate the optimal feed size) and because this is a "single-stage ball mill" calculation, the F80 is actually the rod mill feed size (10,000 µm) from Table 1 and the P80 is the ball mill circuit product. The EF5 factor only applies below 75 µm to ball

data, the value of E is the specific energy input to the solid material as it passes through the plant mill (the mill power draw divided by the mill solids throughput rate), and assumes plug flow and equal residence time of all particle sizes (see later note). The value of E for the torque mill test is the mill energy input divided

Optimal mill loading ensures you are making the most efficient use of your grinding mill – but in the past, it has been difficult to calculate the optimal mill load with precision. Not anymore. LoadIQ utilises our mill scanner smart sensor technology to determine the optimum mill load, increasing throughput by 3 – 6%. What we offer.

The performance of ball mills is very sensitive to the volumetric mill filling which influences grinding media wear rates, throughput, power draw, and product grind size. A pilot plant investigation with an overflow mill discharge has been conducted. For a given throughput, it seems that the pool size has a major influence on the product grind.
