DetailsTo maintain grinding efficiency, new grinding media must be added periodically. Mill power and other factors are used to determine when to add new grinding media. The rate of breakage inside a mill is directly affected by the size of the grinding media. Grinding efficiency is poor if the grinding media are too large or too small for the ore.
