To limit ball escape from the mill, the discharge trunnion contains a retaining spiral which is intended to allow slurry to pass through and help guide larger balls back into the grinding chamber. A side view of the trunnion containing a revolution retaining spiral with an arrow indicating the direction of discharge from the mill is shown ...

Used in combination with the sepol® highefficiency separator, ball mills can reliably grind high ...
Mill Type Overview. Three types of mill design are common. The Overflow Discharge mill is best suited for fine grinding to 75 106 microns.; The Diaphram or Grate Discharge mill keeps coarse particles within the mill for additional grinding and typically used for grinds to 150 250 microns.; The CenterPeriphery Discharge mill has feed reporting from both ends and the product discharges ...
Particles finer than this size (x c) behave like a fluid medium in the mill and discharge at a constant rate through the mill. The rate of discharge for particles coarser than this size was found to decrease systematically in wet grinding conditions (Napier Munn et al., 2005, Morrell and Man, 1997).
The investigation was limited to wet grinding overflow discharge ball mills, as the majority of operational ball mills are of this type. ... confidently one can predict continuous milling in a dry opencircuit pilotscale operating under a wide range of feed rates, mill speeds, fillings and feed materials (an iron ore and a spent catalyst ...
By combining with SAG discharge and screening on the SAG discharge screens, top size control to the ballmill circuit feed is maintained while still unloading the SAG circuit (Mosher et al, 2006). A variant of this method is to direct pebblecrushing circuit product to the ballmill sump for secondary milling: while convenient, this has the ...

efficient grinding systems available for the cement and mineral industry, including vertical roller mills (VRM), highpressure grinding units (HPGR) or simple roller presses, as well as the most traditional type of installation: ball mills, combined in circuit with an air classification system of varying generations and sophistications.
Check the ball mill discharge chute and cyclone overflow and underflow launders for obstructions and debris. Check the plug valves in the mill discharge distribution box for correct open or closed position depending on which pumpbox compartment is to be used.
Where, P is the power input (kW) to the mill, F f is the feed flow rate into the mill (fresh feed + dilution water), T f is the temperature of the mill feed, T d is the temperature of mill discharge, Q Loss is the rate of energy loss to the environment (kJ/s), y fi is the mass fraction of mill feed solids in size class i while y pi is the mass fraction of mill product solids in size class i.
Hourly feed rates in the 2,500 to 5000 metric tph range were becoming more typical. ... it is possible to arrange the rod charge at the discharge end of the mill thus improving the layout at the feed end. ... Typically grinding circuits that employ ball mills will produce a P80 in the range 200400 μm while the rod mill typically produces a ...
The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
In this paper we present a study of the discharge of balls and fluid slurry out of the end of an industrial scale overflow ball mill and into a trommel using a 2way fully coupled DEM + SPH model. The DEM submodel is used to represent the ball charge while the SPH method is used for the fluid slurry containing the fine product.
A fullscale threecompartment FL® cement grinding ball mill with dimensions of Ø × L10 operating in open circuit was sampled to analyse the grinding media effect on specific breakage rate function of particles. Size reduction performance of the ball mill was evaluated with respect to the applied grinding media size.
The circulating loads generated in a typical ball mill cyclone circuit contain a small fraction of bypassed fines. The concept that high circulating loads will result in overgrinding can be refuted by regarding increases in circulating load in the same vein as multistage grinding. That is, for every incremental increase in circulating load of ...

Estimated normalized discharge rate functions were found to be different than the basic pattern observed in semiautogenous mills due to the differences in design ...
b) Semi autogenous grinding in which the pebble fraction of mill discharge (+½ in.) is taken out through pebble ports for separate crushing and ball milling. The minus ½ in. fraction of mill discharge is recycled to the SAG mill through a classifier. The circuit is called SACB: Semi autogenous/ Crusher/Ball mill.

I totally agree with you that the low charge rate directly affects the grinding efficiency, but in here there is another thing we have, that shouldn't be overlooked, it is the power consumption, at low charge rates below 20% the power consumption increase by 615% for the ball mills.
