How to Control a SAG Grinding Mill Circuit

The mill operator then needs some way of balancing the distribution of this critical sized material between the primary and secondary mill as an onstream operating control. This would allow the operator to adjust the workload between the primary and secondary mill as the ore changes so one will not be overloaded and the other underfed.

Ball Mill Grinding Theory – Crushing Motion/Action Inside

The total feed to the ball-mill was therefore 11.54 T. per hr. or 179 per cent, of the original feed. It was evident that the ball-mill was greatly underloaded in this test, but so much trouble developed in the classifier, due to the tendency of the sands to slip down the slopes, that a more rapid feed was not attempted at this time.
