DetailsWe can calculate the steel charge volume of a ball or rod mill and express it as the % of the volume within the liners that is filled with grinding media. While the mill is stopped, the charge volume can be gotten by measuring the diameter inside the liners and the distance from the top of the charge to the top of the mill.
DetailsDue to limitation of the mill's rotational speed, the smallest ball size is usually restricted to about 15 mm. Cement grinding using stirred mills (Pilevneli and Azizli, 1999) indicates that using smaller media (5-8 mm range) improves grinding energy efficiency up to 50% using stirred mills.

DetailsA type bond ball mill was used to grind cement material. After placing clinker, limestone, and fly ash in the mill, chemicals were added on top of the mix. Cement chemicals with grinding aid and strength enhancing properties were used in dosages of 200 and 800 g/t, respectively.
DetailsThe mills are large consumers of power as well. In the case of ball mills, optimization of the mill charge helps to minimize the power consumption of the mills. In the case of vertical roller mills, inspection of the mill internals and adjustments in the operation will bring about an improvement in the energy consumption and for production ...

DetailsBalls 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.
