The mill product can either be finished size ready for processing, or an intermediate size ready for final grinding in a rod mill, ball mill or pebble mill. AG/SAG mills can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill, and some or all of the work of a ball mill.
In FIG. 5 there is shown an analog control system operative with a ball mill grinder device 10 in a closed circuit arrangement with a spiral classifier 12 which spiral classifier is driven by motor 14. The motor power P, as sensed by the power sensing device 22, is related to the total amount of ore material supplied to the spiral classifier 12.

The relative capacity of a closed ball mill circuit as function of circulating load was calculated for three different classification arrangements: 1. cyclones with 38% of fine material reporting (by-pass) to coarse product (cyclone underflow), 2. screens with 20% of fine material reporting to coarse product (screen oversize), 3.
However, the effect of each is difficult to quantify in practice as these two parameters are usually interrelated. Based on experience acquired over the years and the investigative work conducted by F.C. Bond, it was established that the optimum circulating load for a closed ball mill – cyclone circuit is around 250%.
As a general rule: 1. For over-flow ball mills the charge should not exceed 45% of the mill volume, 2. For grate discharge mills the charge should occupy about 50% of the mill volume. 3.3 Ball Size at Initial Ball Charge. Ball sizes commercially available for charging in grinding mills range from 10 to 150 mm.
and Closed Circuit AG/SAG Mills S Morrell1 ABSTRACT The aspect ratio (mill diameter/mill length) of autogenous and semi autogenous mills varies widely and can be as high as three or as low as 0.5. The literature on the subject of what effect aspect ratio has on grinding mill performance or energy efficiency is almost non-existent.
In this paper, a new approach for the calculation of the power draw of cement grinding ball mills is proposed. For this purpose, cement grinding circuit data including the operational and design parameters were collected from 14 industrial ball mills, ranging in …
Parameters that are used for ball mill modelling include breakage rates and breakage product sizes for each size class of particles, and residence time distribution in the mill. The behavior of each size of particle is also described by the classifier selectivity function. ... In closed circuit grinding, the shift in these size distributions is ...
Important advances have been made in the last 60 years or so in the modeling of ball mills using mathematical formulas and models. One approach that has gained popularity is the population balance model, in particular, when coupled to the specific breakage rate function. The paper demonstrates the application of this methodology to optimize solids concentration in …

The purpose of the primary crusher is to reduce the ROM ore to a size amenable for feeding the secondary crusher or the SAG mill grinding circuit. The ratio of reduction through a primary crusher can be up to about 8:1. Feed: ROM up to 1.5 m; Product: -300mm (for transport) to -200mm (for SAG mill) Feed Rate: 160 to 13,000 tph
Closed circuit grinding testsClosed circuit experiments were carried out at a constant mill stirring speed of 600 rpm. The product from the mill was conveyed to an air separator via a spiral conveyor. As an adjustable parameter the spiral's conveying capacity was used at three levels, namely 800, 1700 and 2800 g/min.
Minerals processing engineers and grinding experts agree that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit ball mills. However, the effect of each is difficult to quantify in practice as these two parameters are usually interrelated. Experimental work was undertaken by Process
At least 15 to 20 kg sample material is required to simulate a closed grinding circuit in a ball or rod mill. The Rod Mill Work Index (RWI) is used for particle size determination in a size range from 25 mm down to 2.1 mm whereas Ball Mill Work Index (BWI) is used for the range from 2.1 mm down to 100 µm. Adjustment of grinding parameters:

The estimated parameters were then used in the kinetics model to simulate the behavior of a grinding mill in open and closed circuit operation. While material transport and kinetics are equally important in open loop operation, heavy recycle in a closed circuit make a detailed material transport model for grinding unnecessary.
