mill with close circuit

Open-Circuit Mill

Figure 8.2 shows a flow sheet where the rod mill is in open circuit and the ball mill is in closed circuit with a classifier. This is a normal set-up as the primary function of a rod mill is to provide a uniform sized feed to the ball mill. Figure 8.3 shows that the rod mill product is classified and a more uniform feed size is, therefore, discharged to the ball mill whose …

Closed circuit ball mill – Basics revisited

Introduction. Over the years, ball mill circuits closed with cyclones have become an industry standard, and since the early days, it has been recognised that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit grinding (i.e. its capacity to produce the desired final product).

Open Circuit And Closed Circuit

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 effected so care should be exercised in selecting the type and ...

Basic Ball Mill Grinding Circuit

When a mill is in closed circuit with a classifier, it will handle a circulating load of several times the amount of the original feed. The correct operation of a mill with proper load of balls and pulp or ore feed is determined by sound or by power meter. Normally, the sound is a rumble, whereas from a more or less empty mill there is a rattle.

Circulating load calculation in grinding circuits

An industrial ball mill operating in closed–circuit with hydrocyclones was studied by five sampling surveys. The aim of the present study was to optimise operating parameters (i.e. charge volume ...
