An industrial ball mill operating in closedcircuit with hydrocyclones was studied by five sampling surveys. The aim of the present study was to optimise operating parameters ( charge volume, makeup ball size regime, slurry mean residence time, number of hydrocyclones in operation and hydrocyclone's feed solids content (Sf)) with respect to increasing throughout from 225 to 300 tons per ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The starting point for ball mill media and solids charging generally starts as follows: 50% media charge. Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (nonspherical, irregularly shaped and mixedsize media will increase or decrease the free space) 50% x 26% = 13% free space. Add to this another 10%15% above the ball charge for total of 23% ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Also, an increase in the mill speed may direct the ball charge to the mill shell/liner rather than the rock load and promotes balllinerlifter damage and unnecessary waste of energy (Almond and Valderrama, 2004). Accordingly, this would imply less breakage rate since preferential impact grinding condition would be restricted.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Abstract. Ball size distribution is commonly used to optimise and control the quality of the mill product. A simulation model combining milling circuit and ball size distribution was used to determine the best makeup ball charge. The objective function was to find the ball mix that guarantees maximum production of the floatable size range ( ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The second chamber is the fine grinding chamber. It is lined with classifyingtype mill shell liners and provided with finer ball charge. Classifying liners ensure that the ball charge is segregated along the length of the chamber keeping larger grinding media at the beginning of the compartment and smaller media towards the end of the chamber.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The charge volume of a ball mill is the total volume of grinding media (balls) and ore being processed inside the mill. The charge volume calculation is essential to determine the optimal operational conditions for the ball mill, as it directly affects the grinding efficiency and mill throughput.
