Ball mills may be used for primary, secondary, tertiary and regrind applications. In the 1950s and 1960s ball mills dominated primary grinding, however they were supplanted in the 1970s by AG and SAG mill which also replaced two stages of crushing. Nowadays ball mills still dominate secondary grinding applications, but are increasingly in ...

The simplest grinding circuit consists of a ball or rod mill in closed circuit with a classifier; the flow sheet is shown in Fig. 25 and the actual layout in Fig. 9. ... It used to be the practice at one time to omit the first classifier and to pass the feed straight through the primary mill to the secondary circuit, but it was not a good ...

In general, ball mills can be operated either wet or dry and are capable of producing products on the order of 100 pm. This duty represents reduction ratios as great as 100. The ball mill, an intermediate and finegrinding device, is a tumbling drum with a 40% to 50% filling of balls (usually steel or steel alloys).

The grinding circuit used for processing of gold, platinum and base metal ores typically consists of SAG primary mills, followed by ballmills. The power drawn by the ballmills is about the same as that of the SAG mill for high capacity milling circuits. Table 1 is an example of data for this type of circuit.

Introduction. A specific energybased size reduction model for batch grinding ball mills has been developed (Shi and Xie, 2015). The objective of this work was to overcome the limitations in the existing JKMRC (Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre) perfect mixing ball mill model, including the use of a set of default breakage appearance functions for all ores, and the lumped model ...

The speed of mills depends upon their diameter; a ballmill of 3 feet revolves 35 times a minute, and one of 5 or 6 feet, 29 or 27 times. Tubemills run at a revolution or two faster (see Fig. 117). Some ores require much finer grinding than others to liberate the minerals, and this increases the milling cost. Ball Mill Product Classifying
