Calculating Power Draw when sizing Ball Mills
I don't know how to design a ball mill. I am an operator. I can discuss about operation problems in grinding. About OPERATIONS: Power calculation is done by power consumed to do a job divided by throughput. We say KWhr / TON FEED. It is the power consumed by input feed to achieve a grind of mesh say 200# 80%. HOW THIS IS …

SAG Mill Grinding Circuit Design
Traditionally, many engineers approached SAG circuit design as a division of the total power between the SAG circuit and ball-mill circuit, often at an arbitrary power split. If done without due consideration to ore characteristics, benchmarks against comparable operating circuits, and other aspects of detailed design (including steady …

Ball Mill Motor Power Draw Sizing and Design Formula
The following equation is used to determine the power that wet grinding overflow ball mills should draw. For mills larger than 3.3 meters (10 feet) diameter inside liners, the top size of the balls used affects the power drawn by the mill. This is called the ball size factor S.

Circulating Load Calculation Formula
Cytec Handbook. Why have a large circulation load:. If a product all finer than a certain critical size is required, the capacity of the ball mill is increased considerably by using it in closed circuit with a classifier and this increase is made still greater by increasing the circulating load in between the ball mill and the classifier (Fig. 70).

Circulating Load Calculation Formula
For example your ball mill is in closed circuit with a set of cyclones. The grinding mill receives crushed ore feed. The pulp densities around your cyclone are sampled and known over an 8-hour shift, allowing to calculate corresponding to circulating load ratios and circulating load tonnage on tons/day or tons/hour.

Rod Mill Design & Power Draw
For rod, ball, or pebble mills the peak is usually near Vp = .50, while actual observations as low as V= .42 have bean made in some ball mills (Rowland, 1973). See Figure 2. Power draw is not significantly affected by the presence of the slurry in the mill.
