The grinding circuit operator must ensure that the ball mill runs properly loaded and gives the correct ore grind. A major practical indication of mill loading is the sound made by the mill. A properly loaded mill will have a deep rhythmic roar, while an under loaded mill will have a metallic rattling type noise and an overloaded mill will be quite silent.

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829South Deep's milling circuit consists of a singlestage semiautogenous grinding mill (SAG) and a pebble crusher for primary milling, followed by secondary milling using two overflow ball mills. These mills are essentially rotating drums that have steel balls inside which grind the rock into particles that are finer than in size.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Grinding coarse ore in a ballmill is done by steel balls of three sizes (5, 4, and 3 inches); fine ore is ground in a tubemill by 2 and 1½inch balls or by flint pebbles or by hard, rounded mine rock such as quartzite. These grinding media wear to small sizes, and new ones must be added regularly to make up the weight.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Ore from primary crushers is combined with water in the mill where rotation causes the grinding media and the ore to be drawn upwards with the mill liners and tumble, causing fracturing in the first instance, followed by further grinding. Mills can be open or closed circuit. In open circuit, the ore
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829As a common grinding equipment in cement plants and thermal power plants, ball mills have simple operation in the grinding process and good continuous working performance. The ball mill grinding system is divided into opencircuit grinding and closedcircuit grinding in the process. Many manufacturers have questions about these two systems when ...
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Based on experience acquired over the years and the investigative work conducted by Bond, it was established that the optimum circulating load for a closed ball mill cyclone circuit is around 250%. This value is used as guideline for the design of new circuits as well as to assess the performance of existing circuits.

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829There are several reasons why rod mills are always run in an open circuit: 1. Size Reduction. One of the primary purposes of a rod mill is to reduce the size of the material being processed. When the material is fed into the mill, it is subjected to repeated impacts from the rods inside the mill. Over time, this process breaks down the material ...
