An industrial ball mill operating in closedcircuit with hydrocyclones was studied by five sampling surveys the aim of the present study was to optimise operating parameters ie charge volume makeup ball size regime slurry mean residence time.

at the same feed rate the slurry holdup is greater for higher ball loads as the ball charge volume and the pool level both increase with the increase of ball load or decrease of overflow diameter there is a linear increase of slurry holdup with solids feed rate for both 345 and 30 ball load for medium and high solids feed rates as shown.

it was studied the effect of the watertosolids ratio under well controlled experimental conditions in which a constant slurry volume was maintained in the test mill to correspond with a continuous overflow mill the volume of solid plus volume of water was held at a value sufficient to occupy 120 of the void volume of the ball charge.

articleosti276693 title fluid mechanics of slurry flow through the grinding media in ball mills author songfack p k and rajamani r k abstractnote the slurry transport within the ball mill greatly influences the mill holdup residence time breakage rate and hence the power draw and the particle size distribution of the mill product.

the slurry transport within the ball mill greatly influences the mill holdup residence time breakage rate and hence the power draw and the particle size distribution of the mill product however residencetime distribution and holdup in industrial mills could not be predicted a priori indeed it is impossible to determine the slurry loading in continuously operating mills by direct measurement especially in industrial mills.

under normal operating conditions the ball load volume is 30 of total mill volume mill speed is 75 of critical speed solids concentration in slurry is 75 solids feed rate is 330 tph and rated power draw is 9500 kw the mill has an installed power of 11000 kw 5 experimental method.

For overflow ball mills the charge should not exceed 45 of the mill volume for grate discharge mills the charge should occupy about 50 of the mill volume bond developed a relationship that can be used to determine the percent charge by volume as a function of the vertical height above the charge he and the radius of the mill r ie.

Industrial overflow ball mill as a function of load volume and slurry concentration minerals engineering 24 34 335340 makokha ab moys hm bwalya mm 2011 application of gamma emission imaging in mineral processing industry case study of slurry transport.

It was therefore decided to use a charge volume of 33 which is within the typical charge volume range of 30 to 35 for large diameter overflow ballmills kawatra 2006.

the overflow mills use much simpler trunnion bearings to support the mill whereas grateonly discharge mill would require a tire gear around the shell which is expensive and involves complex manufacturing process as the grate has to withstand the pressure exerted by the steel ball charge and allow slurry to discharge effectively.

the dynamic variation of slurry holdup shown in fig 9 corresponds to 694 solids in the feed 80 critical speed and 345 ball load made up with an overflow diameter of 0112 m fig 10 shows the variation of slurry holdup with solids feed rate for 694 solids in the feed at 80 critical speed 30 ball load corresponding to 0133m.

converting a ball mill from overflow to grate discharge involves installing a grate inside the mill at the discharge end the grate holds the balls inside the mill but allows the slurry to pass through and it is then pumped out of the mill by the pulp lifters or lost benefits due to slurry holdup and pooling inside the mill.

under normal operating conditions the mill ball loading is 30 of total mill volume mill rotational speed is 75 of critical speed slurry solids concentration is 75.

Measure both ball load and pulp slurry positions inside a running mill the main data are provided in terms of toe and shoulder angles figure 6 the pulp density is an important parameter which influences the grinding efficiency in iron ore for instance a variation of 2 to 3 solid content in the slurry.

Mineral processing wet ball mill theviewparktowncoza ball mill is suitable for mineral processing wet pan mill for sale mineral grinding machine jxsc mining wet pan mill is a good best replacement for the ball mill it is very popular adopted in the grinding circuit of the middle fine particle processing plant statistically over 80 of gold mines are placing pan mill s in an important.

ball mill shape factors in the period prior to 1927 averaged 111 for 29 center discharge mills and 101 for 30 peripheral discharge mills with the resumption of new plant construction after the 1930s depression the morenci concentrator continued the 11 ratio with its 31 x 31 m 10 x 10 ft mills.

Overflow ball mill working principle the transmission device drives cylinder to rotate materials and water are fed from the feeding end of cylinder and materials are grinded by impact and grinding of steel balls and ores into fine particles the continuous grinding compels the slurry to.

Pilot scale experiments were carried out in open circuit with a ball load of 35 and a range of solids concentrations 74 76 77 79 and 85 wt and with the mill fitted with both grate and overflow discharges slurry fillings were calculated while considering the slurry holdup measured with the aid of the load cells while the mill was.

Residence time distributions rtds were estimated by water tracing in a number of wet overflow ball mills diameters 038 to 465 m producing dense coalwater slurries in opencircuit mills of 038 m diameter and various lengthdiameter ld ratios the mean residence times of solid were also determined from measured mill holdups.

Second the grates allowed the slurry level in the mill to be kept low at the low 26 full ball charge now the slurry level is higher and the balls have to fall through a lot of slurry to hit another ball this dissipates energy the overflow mills im familiar with typically run about 40 full i dont know if your mill has the power.

Secondly to explore a possible means to estimate slurry holdup volume inside the mill based on the tracer response data experimental industrial ball millthe ball mill utilized in the sampling survey has an inside diameter of 73 m and length of 96 m and is run in open circuit.

for an overflow ball mill the increased slurry pool volume resulting from the increased mill feed rate will not lead to an increase in ball mill power draw rather more often the opposite this is attributed to the fact that the slurry pool on the opposite side of the rising ball media would counter the torque required to rotate the mill shell and lift the ball media leading to a decreased mill power draw.

hence by defining slurry filling u sl as the fractional volume of the interstices occupied by slurry within the bed of grinding balls at rest the following could be obtained 10 u sl h v jv m where v m is the internal volume of the mill and is the static porosity of the bed of grinding balls set at the default value of 40.
