Figure 1 below is a typical example of inefficient grinding indicated by analysis of the longitudinal samples taken after a crash stop of the mill.

Figure 8.2 shows a flow sheet where the rod mill is in open circuit and the ball mill is in closed circuit with a classifier. This is a normal set-up as the primary function of a rod mill is to provide a uniform sized feed to the ball mill. Figure 8.3 shows that the rod mill product is classified and a more uniform feed size is, therefore, discharged to the ball mill whose …

Generally the same baseline conditions apply as in the mine to mill projects: a SAG mill constrained circuit; unutilised ball mill power; and/or a capacity to tolerate a coarser grinding circuit product. The purpose of the secondary crusher, which can be operated in open or closed circuit, generally receiving a scalped feed, is to

Simple 1 "Closed Circuit" Ball Mill with Cyclone Grinding Circuit/Flowsheet. This is the path that the ore takes in this circuit. The ore comes from the fine ore storage area to be added to the mill. Again it is ground but this time the ground material is pumped to a classifier to be classified by size. The material that has not been ground ...
Ball mills may operate in a closed-circuit, or open-circuit. Closed circuits return a certain amount of the ball mill's output back to the ball mill for further size reduction. A typical closed system grinds the ore between two to three times.
Ball Mill and Grinding Circuit Preparation for Start-UP The following items must be checked before the equipment in the Grinding Circuit is started. Check the ore slot feeder for obstruction or hang—ups. ... Close the air block valves to the cyclones and the cyclone feed pump box, and shut-off valves on all barren lines.
Closed circuit grinding consists of one or more mills discharging ground product to classifiers which in turn return the coarse product from the size separation back to the mill for further grinding. In this circuit, grinding efficiency is very dependent upon the size separation …

Introduction. Tube mills having multi-chambers are traditionally used for cement grinding either in open or closed circuit operations. In the first chamber, larger balls (100–60 mm) are used for coarse grinding while the smaller balls (40–15 mm) are used for fine grinding.The chambers are separated by an intermediate diaphragm which …
Introduction. Over the years, ball mill circuits closed with cyclones have become an industry standard, and since the early days, it has been recognised that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit grinding (i.e. its capacity to produce the desired final product).
The original method was to pass the ore straight through the primary mill without classification (open circuit) to a secondary circuit similar to the arrangement of Fig. 9 (closed circuit). Greater efficiency …

When a mill is in closed circuit with a classifier, it will handle a circulating load of several times the amount of the original feed. The correct operation of a mill with proper load of balls and pulp or ore feed is determined by sound or by power meter. Normally, the sound is a rumble, whereas from a more or less empty mill there is a rattle.
