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 …
A typical structure of a closed-loop circuit for wet grinding consists of a ball mill, sump and classifier [10, 13, 33, 39] and it is schematically shown in Fig. 4.
ABC closed circuit, Autogenous-Ball-Mill-Crusher. Another similar technique is the ABC open circuit where the crusher product feeds the ball mill rather than the autogenous mill. Crusher product is typical feed to a ball mill using large diameter balls but not much grinding of 20-25 mm ore can be accomplished in an autogenous mill.
The batch ball mill is a kind of ball milling machine which discharges the material in one time according to the nature of the material. Different from continuous ball mill, batch type ball mill grinds powder by times and adopts intermittent operation. The batch mill is mainly used for the mixing and grinding of materials, with uniform product fineness and saving …
Ball Mill Grinding Circuit. Even though many ores require fine grinding for maximum recovery, most ores liberate a large percentage of the minerals during the first pass through the grinding unit. Thus, if the free minerals can be immediately removed from the ball mill classifier circuit, there is little chance for overgrinding.
Shortly after the first applications of closed circuit ball mill grinding it was realised that classification increases mill capacity. Therefore, over the years closed ball mill – cyclone ...
Functional performance analysis provides the tools and insights needed to measure, understand and improve the two key process eficiencies in ball milling circuits: …
In some plants a ball-mill or rod-mill will reduce the ore to, say, 100 mesh and a tube-mill will finish the grinding to 200 mesh or finer. In other plants a ball- mill or a tube-mill will do all the grinding, but it must be fed with fine ore—say, 1/8 to …
A two-stage grinding circuit using a rod mill in open circuit with a ball mill in closed circuit with a rake classifier is used to grind 4 0 tons per hour of ore (sp. gr. 3. 0) (See flowchart below). The circuit is sampled and analyzed for percent -1 0 0 microns material and percent solids. The results are given in the table below.
Open Circuit Rod Mill followed by Closed Circuit Ball Mill. In this case the grinding circuit comprises an open circuit rod mill followed by a closed-circuit ball mill. The ball mill is most often closed over a classifier like a hydro cyclone (Fig. 3.11) or DSM style screen with a fine cut of 1–1.5 mm. The course material is returned to the ...
According to this well known curve, the grinding capacity of a given mill is doubled by an inclusion of a closed circuit classifier producing a 200% circulating load. …

A problem for solving mass balances in mineral processing plants is the calculation of circulating load in closed circuits. A family of possible methods to the resolution of this calculation is the iterative methods, consisting of a finite loop where each iteration the initial solution is refined in order to move closer to the exact solution.
To improve the efficiency of a ball grinding the ball mills are transferred in closed circuit with air-separators of various designs. In the article the analysis of existing grinding …
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.
For a closed circuit ball mill flowsheet as represented in Figure 2, a simplified relationship (Equation 1) for relative capacity at different circulating load and classification efficiencies was ...

If a ball mill uses water during grinding, it is a 'wet' mill. A typical ball mill will have a drum length that is 1 or 1.5 times the drum diameter. ... If rods are used instead of steel balls, the mill is referred to as a 'rod mill'. Closed-Circuit or Open-Circuit ...
Whether grinding is to be performed wet or dry, or in a ball mill or rod mill, a choice must be made between open or closed circuit. Other factors which require thought are mill size, speed of mill rotation, moisture content, retention time, circulating load, type and sizes of grinding media, mill pulp level, mill shape, power, and relation ...
