An autogenous circuit is difficult to control final grind. Autogenous plus crusher. This circuit was difficult to control and resulted in low tonnage. 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.
The first two types may be called single-stage operation, while the last two are two-stage operations. Most AG/SAG mills operate in open circuit (Figure 9.3) when the product size is usually coarse.Usually, provision exists for installing a classifier such as a straight screen, a trommel or a curved DSM screen to remove critical sized pebbles (scats).
Data on the three mills in series which comprise the first compartment are the first mill in which the large lumps of clinker are broken very rapidly is 1.69 m long, the second mill which operates as a conventional open circuit mill is 2.25 m long, the third mill is considered to operate in closed circuit with the partition and is 0.56 m long.
As a common grinding equipment in cement plants and thermal power plants, ball mills have simple operation in the grinding process and good continuous working performance. The ball mill grinding system is divided into open-circuit grinding and closed-circuit grinding in the process. Many manufacturers have questions about these two …

Applying the method of process dynamics, we proposed here a new method of analysis on open circuit ball milling. We measured the delta responses of mixing of powders, using a pilot plant scale ball and a laboratory scale ball mill, changing factors of which were screen plate, ball size, ball fillingness, rate of feed and mill speed as shown in Table 1. While …
The mill is powered by two 5500 hp D.C. motors. Nominal mill speed is 10.7 r.p.m. (78% critical) with a top speed of 11.3 r.p.m. The mill discharges through a grate with 3″ pebble ports onto a 14′ dia. x 13′ trommel screen with ¾" openings. On January 19, 1991 the mill was brought on line as a fully autogenous mill without pebble crushing.
The production of material finer than 75 μm in a number of open-circuit mills was investigated. The mills ranged from laboratory rod and ball mills treating a variety of ores to large industrial ...
Many significant grinding circuit improvements have been reported for operating plants, based on recurring themes such as the optimisation of mill feed size, mill liner design, …

Open circuit grinding to a given surface area requires no more power than closed circuit grinding to the same surface area provided there is no objection to the natural top-size. If top-size must be limited in open circuit, power requirements rise drastically as allowable top-size is reduced and particle size distribution tends toward the …
Advantages of changing open-circuit grinding mills to closed-circuit mills include efficiency, production of well-defined particle size distributions and cost savings. It has been reported that for the same mean diameter of product, the power required for a closed-circuit system is about 5% smaller than that of the open-circuit system [1]. The ...
mills or open circuit SAG mills operating at very high throughput rates. In these scenarios that have realised dramatic benefits, the presence of a slurry pool in the SAG mill was a clear indicator of the inefficiency of the incumbent discharge system design. However other circuits have reported improvements in energy efficiency
In a series of open circuit tests reported by Dorr and Anable (1934) limestone was ground at various feed rates in a 3 ft ball mill. The production of fine material (final product) increased with increased feed rate, and the …
A two-stage grinding circuit using a rod mill in an open circuit with a ball mill in a closed circuit with a cyclone classifier is used to grind 100 tonnes per hour of ore (S.G. = 3). The circuit layout is illustrated in the Figure below. Assuming that the circuit is sampled and the results are shown in the Table below: Rod Mill Discharge Ball ...
Primary ball mills were operated as open-circuit mills, later, separators were added to produce improved cement qualities in a closed-circuit. The fundamental disadvantage of …
They are commonly used for surface cleaning or scrubbing action and fine grinding in open circuit. Pebble Mills. In some cases it is suitable to use screened fractions of the material as grinding media. Such mills are usually called pebble mills, but the working principle is the same as for ball mills. As the power input is approximately ...
When a mill is operated without being directly influenced by a classifier it is labelled to work in an open circuit (Fig. 1a). In order to increase the grinding efficiency …
Several large tonnage copper porphyry plants in Chile use an open-circuit SAG configuration where the pebble crusher product is directed to the ball mills (SABC-B circuit). The original grinding circuit at Los Bronces is an example: the pebbles generated in the two SAG mills are crushed in a satellite pebble crushing plant, and then are ...
Question: A grinding circuit of a bauxite ore consists of a 4.42 m diameter by 2 m long SAG mill in open circuit with a screen. The work index of bauxite is 8.78 Kwh/t.(i) What is the power required to crush 100 tph of bauxite if 80% of the feed passes 50.8 mm screen and 80% of the product passes 3.175 mm screen?(ii) Using …
In this study, separator rejects of a closed circuit cement tube milling were dry ground in a 10-l pilot scale vertical stirred mill. Tests were done as open and closed circuit.
Partial secondary crushing of the mill feed is reported for example at Mt Rawdon in Queensland (Putland et al., 2004), Porgera (Thong et al., 2006) and St Ives in Western Australia (Atasoy et al ...
For fine regrinding in open circuit, the ratio ranges from 1.3:1 to 1.5:1. Some ball mills are separated in to compartments by grates. The grates hold back particles above a certain size for additional grinding.
The classifier controls the size of the finished material. But when a classifier is arranged in open- circuit with a mill, the sand and slime are separated and flow, without further grinding, to their respective treatment. Unless such products are desired, open-circuit grinding is inefficient.
