Mill Power Draw Determination Using the desired production rate and the expected specific power consumption figure from the grindability testing, the net power requirement delivered by the ball mill is determined. There are several methods of calculating the net mill power draw for an industrial mill.

Converting a ball mill from overflow to grate discharge involves installing a grate inside the mill at the discharge end. The grate holds the balls inside the mill but allows the slurry to pass through, and ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Important 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 ball milling of an iron ore ...

For all model based methods, a reliable method to calculate mill power draw for a given mill is required for the calculation of power draw. Morrell (1996) proposed a mathematical model for autogenous, semiautogenous and ball mills which is based on the motion of grinding charge inside the mill.

Unless the trunnion is very small or unless you are using a grate discharge ball mill, balls will not stay in the mill, and you will spend a lot on steel to add a small amount of power. Formulas given for mill power draw modelling are empirical, and fit around field data over the ...
