Closed circuit ball mill – Basics revisited

1. 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).

BALL MILL MAINTENANCE

There are two basic types of ball grinding systems: open circuit and closed circuit. In the open circuit system, the mill product has the fineness required for the next stage. In the closed-circuit system, the mill product is classified in a separator in a fine fraction that is then taken to the next step and a thick fraction that is returned ...
