Ball mills could operate dry or even process a water suspension (almost always for ores). Dry, it is fed through a chute or a screw through the unit's opening. In a wet path, a system of scoops that turn with the mill is used and it plunges into a stationary tank. Read more.
In actual industrial production, labeled sample data of a ball mill is difficult to obtain under variable working conditions. Aiming to realize the soft measurement of ball mill load under variable working conditions, a joint discriminative high-order moment alignment network (JDMAN) is proposed, based on the deep transfer learning in this paper.
