The circulating loads generated in a typical ball mill cyclone circuit contain a small fraction of bypassed fines. The concept that high circulating loads will result in overgrinding can be refuted by regarding increases in circulating load in the same vein as multistage grinding. That is, for every incremental increase in circulating load of ...

A closed GC with two stages is extensively used in metal ore processing in China. The GPR maximization is normally performed by fixing an optimal value of the circulating load, which is constantly determined by the load of the ball mill in Stage I of the GC (Fig. 1). Thus, the ball mill should be maintained at an optimum load status.

The mill is filled with balls to a level several inches below the axis. The ball load, speed, etc., are regulated so that under normal running conditions most of the ore is small enough to pass through the grates by the time that it reaches the discharge end. ... Moreover, a given feed of ore passes more quickly through a rod mill, since the ...

In this paper, a new parameter named level of coal powder is defined in order to show exactly the coal powder filling in the mill, and a series of coal load experiments were conducted on an industrial tubular ball mill instead of a laboratory mill, in order to exploit the vibration characteristics relative to varying levels (Section 2).

Modern mills operate with load cells and mill optimizer's which synchronize the mill weight, power draw, ore feed and weight with density control. Where optimizers are not used, the rule of thumb for a overflow ball mill is a ball load up to about 12 inches below the trunnion discharge- this allows bed expansion by the slurry filling the voids ...

The ball mill used in simulations is based on a laboratory unit composed of a cylindrical drum with a set of 16 uniformly distributed lifters (Fig. 4). To establish the dimensions and ball load of this mill, the characteristics of other mills used in previous studies [13], [21], [43], have been taken into account. In these cases, despite the ...

However, the ball mill has the disadvantages of low working efficiency and high energy-consumption. To improve the grinding performance, the ball mill load must be tweaked to levels where the plant can get desired product size and maximum production rate. However, the ball mill load is difficult to be detected by instruments directly.

In your case, given the information provided, I recommend to start with a "benchmark" ball charge level (10-12%) and check for the mill response in terms of load and power drawn. If you want to optimize, then a different package of test work and simulation should be deployed to understand how the ore-mill system will respond.
