LoadIQ utilises our mill scanner smart sensor technology to determine the optimum mill load, increasing throughput by 3 – 6%, with some even greater than a 10+% increase in tonnage. Achieving longterm stability in grinding circuits. If your grinding circuit operation is unstable, the productivity, quality and ...
Ball mill media optimization
circuit efficiency is increased and overgrinding is decreased. The other factor that determines overall circuit efficiency is how well the power that is applied to the coarse material grinds it. This is affected by design and operating variables like the media sizing and mill percent solids. From circuit functional performance (McIvor et al ...
Definition of overgrinding
Definition of overgrinding. Comminution of ore to a smaller particle size than is required for effective liberation of values before concentrating treatment. Opposite of undergrinding. Ref: Pryor, 3.
