Calculating Power Draw when sizing Ball Mills Grinding ...

I believe that as circulating load in a ball mill increases beyond a critical point the mill power draw begins to fall so there is an adverse effect on grinding efficiency (apart from the obvious physical problems it causes like high scats rates, balls discharged from mill, sumps overflowing, cyclones clogging up etc.).

the speed at which the mill load sticks to the walls of the mill during rotation. The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the ball diameter on the operating parameters of the mill, which included the energy efficiency, the power requirement, mill load, critical speed as well as the size reduction of the mill charge.

Balls must be added to maintain the media load and mill power draw. The power draw increases as balls are added and decreases as media wears down: add balls. The main control on the power draw for a BM is the load of grinding media however adding water to the cyclone underflow can also be short term control of BM power.

Based on SAG7 test results, the lack of circulating load in such a scenario showed virtually no effect on the SAG circuit performance. Conversely, the combined effect between excessive impact provided by greater ball charge (12%) and increased mill speed (75%) was deleterious to the mill performance, as shown in the SAG11 test.

The experiments were performed on an industrial tumbling mill (DTM350/700) of QinLing Power Plant in China with an outside diameter of m and a length of m, as shown in Fig. 1 b. The mill, driven by two 900 kW motors, had a maximum ball load of 75 tonnes, a designed pulverizing capacity of tonnes per hour and a rated revolution of per minute.

Grinding media directly affects the load behavior and, consequently, the performance of industrial mills in terms of product size, energy consumption, and grinding costs. ( Lameck et al., 2006) examined the impacts of different media shapes on the load behavior and power draw based on a function of mill filling and speed.

Effects of grinding media shapes on load behaviour and mill power in a ...

It is long believed that a load comprised of a different media shape other than spherical balls might influence the performance of a tumbling mill through variations in load behaviour, charge segregation and power drawn by the mill as well as the breakage kinetics. The extent of this influence has not yet been established.

The condition of liners and grates may also have an effect on the shape of the power/load curve obtained. At loadings above 35% to 37% of mill volume the power drops off as the load is increased. Operation in this area is unstable and the mill is referred to as being "overloaded". Operating problems arise from the difficulty in recognizing ...

Large steel mills can be potentially harsh loads on an electric power system, producing harmonic currents and unbalanced system loading. Since these large loads are typically supplied from the EHV power system grid, it must be recognized that not only will the system of the host utility be impacted, but neighboring utility systems could be impacted as well.
